ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.10.1 Release Candidate 1

We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.10.1: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.1-rc1/ This includes the source tarball and bindists for 64bit/32bit Linux and Windows. Binary builds for other platforms will be available shortly. (CentOS 6.5 binaries are not available at this time like they were for 7.8.x). These binaries and tarballs have an accompanying SHA256SUMS file signed by my GPG key id (0x3B58D86F). We plan to make the 7.10.1 release sometime in February of 2015. We expect another RC to occur during January of 2015. Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release! -- Regards, Austin Seipp, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/

Hi, If I understand correctly, OverloadedRecordFields has not been merged yet. Are there any chances to merge it into GHC 7.10.1? --Kazu

No, it is a big change and the merge window is closed now. This question
was just asked on reddit:

Greg, thank you for this info. But it is really disappointing. I was silent about this because it is promised that ORF is included in GHC 7.10. If I knew that active feedback was necessary, I could be vocal. --Kazu

| If I understand correctly, OverloadedRecordFields has not been merged | yet. Are there any chances to merge it into GHC 7.10.1? I'm afraid not. The situation is that Adam has a fairly complete patch for overloaded record fields, but neither he nor I are happy with it. It makes some fairly complicated and pervasive changes, and feels like a sledgehammer to crack a nut. We'd scheduled for Adam to spend a day at MSR for us to work on it together, but Adam had to cancel. We'll hopefully re-arrange. Meanwhile it'd be motivating to know who, if anyone, is actively keen on it. Kazu is presumably one. I expect there are others, but I couldn't list them.

I made a Mac OS X build. If people want to try it out, you can
download it from [0]. Let me know if you run into any issues.
