Can anyone comment on the state of cabal, and in particular the version that was shipped with 7.6.2?
GHC-7.6.1 shipped with Cabal-1.16.0 We subsequently found a few bugs and released Cabal-1.16.0.3 (1.16.0.2 was the brown paper bag release, oops). We (cabal devs) assumed that GHC-7.6.2 would just automatically pick up the latest bug fix release in the Cabal-1.16.0.x series but for some reason that did not happen. Yes ideally we should be using Cabal-1.16.0.3 and if there is a GHC-7.6.3 then that should certainly use Cabal-1.16.0.3. In the absence of a GHC-7.6.3, I'm not sure if it's practical for the HP to bump the Cabal version. Duncan
