For the upcoming HP 2012.4.0.0 release I'd like package maintainers to confirm of which version should go in the release.

I have not received input on the following packages, listed with who I think the maintainer is (which might be wrong):

• cgi — Anders Kaseorg
• html — Don Stewart
• parsec — Antoine Latter
• regex-base, regex-compat, regex-posix — Christopher Kuklewicz

If these are your packages, please see the message below and contact me directly ASAP. If you know these please please ping them gently for me. :-)

If I don't hear from them, I'll use the same version that is in 2012.2.0.0, which will not be the latest version. (Except for html, so I suppose Don is off the hook... but I'd still like to hear confirmation!) I will release the version list on Monday, October 1st.

You are receiving this e-mail as hackage lists you as the maintain of one or more packages that are part of Haskell Platform (or are being considered in active proposals). The list I have is given below - you are all bcc'd so that replies will go directly to me.

I need your help to get the next release of Haskell Platform out:

1. If you are not the current maintainer of the package(s) I think you are, please let me know immediately. If you are a mailing list, please let me know the key individual contact for this sort of communication, as it is going to happen with every HP release.

2. Which version of your package(s) should be in the next release of HP? In the past we always bumped to lastest on Hackage, but that has caused some instability of the HP build, and stability is what it's all about. So, please, let me know the exact version of your package that should be in HP 2012.4.0.0.

At present it looks like HP 2012.4.0.0 will go out with GHC 7.4.2, so versions should build against that. Please let me know if there would be a difference if we shipped with GHC 7.6.x.
