ANNOUNCE: GHC 6.6.1 Release Candidate
We are pleased to announce the Release Candidate phase for GHC 6.6.1. Snapshots beginning with 6.6.20070409 are release candidates for 6.6.1 You can download snapshots from here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ Right now we have the source bundles: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.6.20070409-src.tar.bz2 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.6.20070409-src-extralibs.t... Only the first of these is necessary. The "extralibs" package contains various extra packages that we normally supply with GHC - unpack the extralibs tarball on top of the source tree to add them, and they will be included in the build automatically. There are also currently binary distributions for x86_64/Linux and i386/Linux. More may appear later. The Windows (mingw) binary distributions are currently broken, but we hope to have this resolved soon. Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release! We hope to release in a couple of weeks, but of course that may slip if problems are uncovered. Thanks Ian, on behalf of the GHC team

Thanks, this should now be fixed (from tomorrow's snapshot onwards). Cheers, Simon
