We are finally at the release candidate stage for GHC 6.4. Please test if you're able to, and give us feedback.
In versions 5.00 <= ghc <= 6.2.2, the result of ghc -v 2>&1 | head -2 was something like Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.2.2, .... Using package config file: /grp/haskell/lib/ghc-6.2.2/package.conf whereas with 6.4, these two lines have been swapped: Reading package config file: /usr/malcolm/local/lib/ghc-6.4.20050209/package.conf Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.4.20050209, .... and the "Using package config" message has become "Reading package config". These changes are minor and unnecessary: in particular they make the detection of configuration information (by hmake) rather more complicated than it ought to be. I know this is a pretty trivial complaint, but the -v behaviour has been stable for a few years now, so why change it arbitrarily? Regards, Malcolm
