We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.0.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.0.2-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

Way to go! Are there tentative release notes, so I know what to look for? Thanks, Antoine On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 12:36 PM, Ian Lynagh wrote:

Some random notes for OpenBSD: - No close look at the test suite results yet, but at least I didn't notice any strangeness like the threading problems back in ghc-6.12. - BTW: it would be nice if snapshot sources or at least release candidate sources would also contain a tarball of the testsuite. I don't know about other distributors, but at least for OpenBSD we're including the testsuite into the files to download; I rolled my own testsuite-7.0.1.20101215.tar.bz2 from the darcs repo, but that's a little bit inconvenient ;-) - After working on updates of several Haskell packages and programs in the OpeNBSD ports tree, I didn't notice anything bad (at least not related to GHC). No strange compiler errors, no strange threading problems (as we had with early ghc-6.12 versions). - Probably a stupid one: the module list in .../html/libraries/index.html) is completely empty. This may be (and probably is) some breakage local to my machine, but: is anyone else seeing this? Ciao, Kili

I've got no problem compiling network package 2.3.0.2 using http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.0.2-rc2/ghc-7.0.1.20110217-x86_64-unknown-... with any compiler. But since I can hardly read the code in Network/Socket.hsc regarding "##" it may well be that your cpp pre-processor behaves differently. line 201: #ifdef __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ import GHC.Conc (threadWaitRead, threadWaitWrite) ##if MIN_VERSION_base(4,3,1) import GHC.Conc (closeFdWith) ##endif ... line 1045: ##if !MIN_VERSION_base(4,3,1) closeFdWith closer fd = closer fd ##endif ...

This is possibly related to an I/O manager bug fix in 7.0.2. Can you give me your exact spec so I can try to reproduce. Here's what I gather so far: - network-2.3.0.2 - GHC 7.0.2 RC Johan

The definition is guarded by: #if !MIN_VERSION_base(4,3,1) so I would guess that you are using the cabal program to install, and your cabal is linked against an old version of the Cabal library that doesn't have this patch: Tue Dec 29 02:33:58 GMT 2009 Antoine Latter * Add parenthesis to macros in cabal_macros.h Now this like "#if !MIN_VERSION_base(4,2,0)" will work "cabal --version" will tell you the library version, although I don't know OTTOMH what version this was fixed in. Thanks Ian

Yes, this fixed it. It was my fault to use the cabal-install I had on my system. Sorry paolino 2011/2/24 Ian Lynagh
