I know there are some problems with Leopard (OSX 10.5) but, before bothering compile the release, should it be expected to work on Leopard/PPC or Leopard/Intel? On Dec 7, 2007 1:58 PM, Ian Lynagh wrote:

We are pleased to announce the Release Candidate phase for GHC 6.8.2.

Snapshots beginning with 6.8.1.20071206 are release candidates for 6.8.2

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-6.8.1.20071206-src.tar.bz2 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.8.1.20071206-src-extralibs...

Only the first of these is necessary. The "extralibs" package contains various extra packages that are often supplied 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 is also currently an installer for i386/Windows and binary distributions for x86_64/Linux and i386/Linux. More may appear later.

Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!

We expect to release in a few days, assuming no major issues are discovered.

Thanks Ian, on behalf of the GHC team
