Here is the current status of the 2013.4.0.0 proposal. *Outstanding Issues* We have a few decisions outstanding, and I'd like to have these decided by Nov. 23 (one week). - fgl - waiting to hear if Ivan will have new version ready in time. - aeson / dlist - there are serveral options -- I'll start a separate thread on this topic. - alex / happy - I'd like to hear an "okay" from the maintainers on the major version bump *Current Proposed Versions* *GHC 7.6.3* -- same as last time (erroneously listed as a version bump last time) *Packages with no changes:* fgl, haskell-src, html, HUnit, mtl, parsec, QuickCheck, random, regex-base, regex-compat, regex-posix, split, stm, text, transformers, xhtml, zlib *Packages held back:* cgi: 3001.1.7.5 (3001.1.8.4* requires MonadCatchIO-mtl)* *Packages with minor version bumps:* HTTP: 4000.2.8 → 4000.2.9 network: 2.4.1.2 → 2.4.2.0 parallel: 3.2.0.3 → 3.2.0.4 syb: 0.4.0 → 0.4.1 unordered-containers: 0.2.3.0 → 0.2.3.3 vector: 0.10.0.1 → 0.10.9.1? primitive: 0.5.0.1 → 0.5.1.0? *Packages with major version bumps:* case-insensitive: 1.0.0.1 → 1.1.0.1 hashable: 1.1.2.5 → 1.2.1.0 GLUT: 2.4.0.0 → 2.5.0.1 GLURaw: 1.3.0.0 → 1.4.0.0 OpenGL: 2.8.0.0 → 2.9.1.0 OpenGLRaw: 1.3.0.0 → 1.4.0.0 alex: 3.0.5 → 3.1.0 *pending okay* happy: 1.18.10 → 1.19.0 *pending okay* *Cabal:* Cabal: 1.16.0 → 1.18.1.2 *consensus seems to be that this will be okay* cabal-install: 1.16.0.2 → 1.18.0.2 *Platform Packagers:* This is likely to be the last HP source release that contains all the ad hoc scripts for packaging. I canvased the group last time and as I recall, everyone said they just used the .cabal file - and no one used the scripts. I plan to replace them with a new tool built for the needs of the release, and ditch this old set of scripts. If you need 'em, speak now, or forever hold your peace! — Mark
