We plan to make the 7.10.2 final release at the end of this coming week - so please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!

Could I possibly draw attention to #10491 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10491? It's a regression in the simplifier that is causing considerable pain for Accelerate, namely a compile time of many hours for a 300 line module. It would be unfortunate if this couldn't be resolved for the 7.10.2 release.

Not in particular - I guess we didn't get everything we precisely needed for the RC. I've filed a ticket: #10530 On Sun, Jun 14, 2015 at 10:25 PM, Andrés Sicard-Ramírez wrote:

We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.10.2:

Since transformers is a GHC-include library, is there any particular reason why GHC 7.10.2 RC1 didn't include the latest version of the transformers library, i.e. transformers-0.4.3.0?

Is the 7.10.2 hvr ppa using this RC?

...it's easy to check, as since 7.10 we embed the Git commit id into the source-tarball as well as into the generated ghc binary: $ /opt/ghc/7.10.2/bin/ghc --info | grep Git ,("Project Git commit id","5560861e4562a2e270e6610e6ef3cf120253bb16") or more useful for scripting, i.e. in buildbots (but harder to remember): $ /opt/ghc/7.10.2/bin/ghc --print-project-git-commit-id 5560861e4562a2e270e6610e6ef3cf120253bb16 and if you compare that with the git repo that id *currently* matches the commit pointed to by the lightweight 'ghc-7.10.2-rc2' tag: http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/shortlog/refs/tags/ghc-7.10.2-rc2 Cheers, hvr
