We have not begun to think about when to release 7.8.2. It’ll depend on what issues show up in 7.8.1 and how urgent they seem to be. We have delayed 7.8.1 for ages, and given masses of warning about the release, so I’d be sad if there are known, show-stopping bugs in it that we already know about. If there really really really are, maybe we should delay 7.8.1 further. But that process can go on indefinitely (as we have already seen), so I’m pretty reluctant.
But I’d certainly listen to a consensus view from the HP team. You represent our customers.
If I've understood #8736 correctly, GHCi on Windows can't load modules that were compiled with --dynamic-too. That's a pretty nasty regression, as --dynamic-too will now be the default for anything used by TH. -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/Gearing-up-again-for-the-next-release-2...
