RE: GHC 6.4 release candidates available [GHCi reloads incorrectly]

If I have two simple modules, Module1 and Module2 like this;

module Module1 where f = "hello"

module Module2 where import Module1

I load up Module2 in GHCi, and I can evaluate f in Module1;

Compiling Module1 ( ./Module1.hs, interpreted ) Compiling Module2 ( Module2.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: Module2, Module1. *Module2> f "hello"

Now I change Module1 to

module Module1 where f = "hello2"

and reload; this happens in the GHC 6.4 RC:

*Module2> :r Compiling Module1 ( ./Module1.hs, interpreted ) Skipping Module2 ( Module2.hs, interpreted ) Ok, modules loaded: Module2, Module1. Prelude Module2>

Thanks, good bug. Now fixed. Cheers, Simon
