Hi all,
Unfortunately, since the release of 6.10.3, still more problems have come to light in the 6.10 branch. We are therefore planning to do a 6.10.4 release.
For 6.10.4, we will only consider fixes for serious bugs that cannot be easily worked around. So far, we plan to look into:
* One of the patches in 6.10.2 introduced a problem where mkWeakForeignEnv# could segfault (already fixed)
* readMutVar# is inlined/duplicated http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3207 (already fixed, patch waiting to be merged)
* "Permission denied" errors on Windows: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3231 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2924
Not #2924 (we don't know the cause of that one yet). But #2650 is related: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2650
* Some ghci tests fail with hLookAhead errors. We would like to at least understand exactly what is going on here.
If you find any other bugs that you think we should look into for 6.10.4, please let us know.
Also the problem that causes a GHC build to fail on Windows when you
have recent versions of the MSYS binutils (more recent than the ones we
recommend in the building guide).
