package authors,

I'm preparing to release two new versions of cabal-install.

Does this new version happen to work with the GHC 6.12 release candidate?

Version 0.8 will do (the current darcs 0.7.5 works with it already). Version 0.6.4 may or may not, depending on how difficult it is to hack it. If it does, it'll probably only work well enough to let you "cabal install cabal-install" and will probably prompt you to do so frequently. If not, then it'll just break with a better error message.
