Is this a mistake in the release candidate announcement? It pretty clearly states: """ This release will feature, ... * Overloaded record fields """ Thanks! -deech On Sun, May 21, 2017 at 4:33 PM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

I'm trying out the GHC 8.2.1 release candidate [1], added 'OverloadedRecordFields' and I get an error saying it's an 'Unsupported Extension'. Am I doing something wrong?

This is not in 8.2, it may be in 8.4.

(The Status page is confusing: it has a header for it, but the text says: "...but no OverloadedRecordFields extension or...". Perhaps the header should be changed to "Progress on overloaded record fields"?)

Got it. Thanks for clearing that up. -deech On Sun, May 21, 2017 at 4:42 PM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Yes, and I imagine it was caused by the confusion I pointed to. 8.2 contains more of the parts that _lead_ to ORF, but not ORF itself, but the Status page says this in a way that makes it look like ORF is included.
