This is the last announcement about the upcoming LTS 2 release, which is schedule for this Wednesday, April 1 (no joke). For those unfamiliar with the process: we will essentially be taking that day's Stackage Nightly and promoting it to LTS 2, and locking down the major versions of all packages in that package set until LTS 3. If you'd like to get any additional packages in, please send your pull requests now[1]. I'd also like to call attention to the current upper bounds issues[2]. If we can get any of these issues resolved before Wednesday, then newer versions of the relevant packages can make it into LTS 2. Otherwise, LTS 2 will continue with the old versions. (Alternatively, we can consider dropping the packages with restrictive upper bounds, if there's demand to do so.) Things worth pointing out: * primitive 0.6 is out, and introduces very minimal breaking changes. If you can get your packages to support the new version (likely with just a cabal file change), that would be great. * criterion 1.1 is out. I may simply disable benchmarks on the relevant users to allow the new version to slip in. * QuickCheck 2.8 would be a nice addition * lens 4.8 is blocked on a number of diagrams-* packages and a few others. I have no idea how complicated the changes are there. * blaze-builder 0.4 is blocked by snap, and unlikely to unblock in time, which likely means we'll have two ByteString Builder variants for this release * wizards depends on an old control-monad-free Thanks for everybody's participation!
