Folks, We're wondering here whether we should push out 5.04.2 soon, or wait a while and see what other bugs turn up. Opinions, anyone? Are any of the bugs in 5.04.1 really holding you up? Here's a list of the bugfixes in 5.04.2 relative to 5.04.1: - Control.Exception.userErrors was wrong - derived Read with Maybe fixed - export TimeLocale constructor from Locale - network package fix for Network.Socket.inet_ntoa - GHCi: rdrNameModule panic - GHCi: getChar not interruptible with ^C - --make: unknown filenames on the command line are now passed to the linker - PowerPC/Darwin support is now up to date (?) - foreign exporting infix operators now works - missing strict fields in a record construction now works according to the report - memory allocator fix: eliminates the getMBlock panic - panics when using signals (signal handlers not being retained by the garbage collector). - main threads not retained long enough (HOpenGL panic) and I'm hot on the trail of the heapCensus panic. Cheers, Simon

Release often, release soon! Why not put out a source distribution on a regular basis, say, every month or so (I realize that binary distributions are a lot of work). Cheers, Ralf
