Yup! Heck, one of the patches merged into 7.8.3 also makes it easy for a single ghc build to work on the full range of 10.7-10.10, which is pretty darn awesome. <span></span><br><br>On Tuesday, July 8, 2014, Brandon Allbery &lt;<a href="mailto:allbery.b@gmail.com">allbery.b@gmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:<br>

<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="gmail_quote">The Platform keeps getting stuck waiting for GHC. The skipped release was because ghc 7.8 took some 6 months after &quot;we plan to release just before ICFP 2013&quot;(!); now it&#39;s waiting on ghc 7.8.3 bug fixes, which were &quot;should be released by the end of the week&quot; a couple of weeks ago. :( 7.8.3&#39;s bug fixes are significant enough that it would be bad to release a platform without them.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Among other things, yes (ghc 7.6 needs to be patched to work with Xcode 5). 7.8 is supposed to improve some things on Windows as well; plus it&#39;d be nice to have 7.8&#39;s improvements in general. But the OS X issues are the biggest user-facing ones, and come up pretty much every time someone tries to install the current Platform on OS X.<br clear="all">
