We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.4.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.4.2-rc1/ This includes the source tarball, 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! Thanks Ian, on behalf of the GHC team

Thanks! I did a test scratch build on Fedora 18, which should also work on Fedora 17 which will be released soon. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4084830 If you want to try the build on Fedora the source and binary rpms can be downloaded from: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/scratch/petersen/task_4084830/ I also just started a test build on Fedora ARM but that will take a little longer to finish.

I also just started a test build on Fedora ARM but that will take a little longer to finish.
The ARM also finished successfully: http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=838546 (with the same ARM patches as for 7.4.1). I also tested building haskell-platform-2012.4 RC1 with ghc-7.4.2 RC1 on x86_64. Jens

Hi,
right now it seems that my ADPfusion stuff works, apparently no bugs.
The runtimes seem to have improved a bit, too. :-) (Could be due to
other changes I currently make due to reviewers' suggestions...)
If anybody has a binary package for ARM in general, I can test that,
too. Unfortunately, I currently don't have the time to build ARM from
source, or try fc18 or Ubuntu for ARM.
I have a trimslice, running Archlinux for ARM.
Gruss,
Christian

I have built 7.4.2-rc1 on CentOS5, CentOS6 and Fedora Core 16 without a hitch. I am testing it with the provisional 2021.2.0.0 platform (currently slated to use 7.4.1). CentOS packages for 7.4.2-rc1 and its companion 2012.2.0.0-beta2 are up at justhub.org; the FC16 packages and some notes/instructions to follow tomorrow.
