[ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.6.1-alpha1 available

The GHC development team is pleased to announce the first alpha release leading up to GHC 8.6.1. The usual release artifacts are available from https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.1-alpha1 This is the first release (partially) generated using our new CI infrastructure. One known issue is that the haddock documentation is currently unavailable. This will be fixed in the next alpha release. Do let us know if you spot anything else amiss. As always, do let us know if you encounter any trouble in the course of testing. Thanks for your help! Cheers, - Ben

Correction: the issue is not restricted only to haddock documentation; the users guide is also not present.

I don't see an apple/darwin binary. Not sure if that is an oversight or was
planned.

Yikes! Thank you for mentioning this. This is indeed a mistake. I'm uploading the Darwin distribution right now; it will be done within 20 minutes. Cheers, - Ben
