============================================================= The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 7.0.3 ============================================================= The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new patchlevel release of GHC. This release contains a handful of bugfixes relative to 7.0.2, so we recommend upgrading. The release notes are here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0.3/html/users_guide/release-7-0-3.html How to get it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The easy way is to go to the web page, which should be self-explanatory: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ We supply binary builds in the native package format for many platforms, and the source distribution is available from the same place. Packages will appear as they are built - if the package for your system isn't available yet, please try again later. Background ~~~~~~~~~~ Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language. GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, whatever). GHC is distributed under a BSD-style open source license. A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries, specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, contact information, links to research groups) are available from the Haskell home page (see below).

GOOD. This fixes my OS X Xcode4 problem :-) Is it in planning a new release of Haskell platform also? Luca. On Mar 27, 2011, at 9:13 PM, Ian Lynagh wrote:

I made a test build for F16 development: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2955509
Note since there are a lot of subpackages now, they can be downloaded with a client like lftp from http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/scratch/petersen/task_2955509/ (the files are cached there for one or two weeks I think). Jens

Was this a 'make fast' or 'make WAY=normal'? You're right that the number of skipped tests is suspicious. None of those failures are fatal, but someone should really clean up the testsuite on OS X. Cheers, Simon

It was `make test`. If you'd like me to run a different version, just let me know and I'll post the results. -- Live well, ~wren

That is, `make && make test`. -- Live well, ~wren

Hmm, with a full testsuite run for the HEAD (validate, so no profiling) on OS X i386 I get: OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Wed Mar 30 19:06:13 BST 2011 2710 total tests, which gave rise to 9066 test cases, of which 0 caused framework failures 1701 were skipped 7070 expected passes 242 expected failures 0 unexpected passes 53 unexpected failures The fast testsuite gave: OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Wed Mar 30 13:54:50 BST 2011 2710 total tests, which gave rise to 9062 test cases, of which 0 caused framework failures 6662 were skipped 2313 expected passes 84 expected failures 0 unexpected passes 3 unexpected failures (the testsuite may have changed slightly between the two runs) So I don't think there's any problem in HEAD, at least.
