We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.2.1:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.2.1-rc1/
This includes the source and testsuite tarballs, installers for OS X and Windows, and bindists for amd64/Linux, i386/Linux, amd64/FreeBSD and i386/FreeBSD.
Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!
Dear GHC Team, please consider the following two patches for DragonFly support. [ I still have only a workaround for loading modules that access errno ("extern __thread int" on DragonFly). ] [ I get lots of testsuite failures, because I get (with some probability) an error message like "Thread 297f0230 has exited with leftover thread-specific data after 4 destructor iterations" on exit. Will attach a manually edited log of "gmake test", that might be a good approximation of all the other (repeatable) failures. ] -- Goetz
