Hello Mark, One of the major anticipated features of this HP release is the OS X 10.9 support. Since the GHC version won't change for this release, I assume that everybody is confident that 7.6.3 + a clang wrapper script is all that is required? I'm just a bit worried seeing bugs like this one: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8490 Would be a shame to get a HP release and then finding out that we'd really need a handful of fixes from 7.8 to get things fully working on 10.9. Also, regarding OS 10.6 64bit: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8094 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8511 The current HP page lists OS X 10.6 64bit + XCode 4.1 as a supported, but from what I can tell from my two machines this has been broken ever since HP 2012.2.0.0. I think at least the download page should be updated to reflect this. Thanks for the update and sorry if I'm just bringing up some points that have already been discussed / resolved.

I do - I'm just a lame-o this cycle!
Please review the status below - I'll have the 'prerelease' branch in github updated this weekend, and packages out (src tarball and Mac installers) out this coming week.

Resolved Issues fgl - haven't heard from Ivan, so we'll stay with the status quo. aeson / dlist - log round'a'bout discussion resulted in decision to omit aeson this cycle. alex / happy - I haven't heard from the maintainers on the major version bump, but they are both active here and so I'm assuming it is a go. Current Proposed Versions GHC 7.6.3 -- same as last time (erroneously listed as a version bump last time)

Platform Packagers: This will 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 tarball release, and ditch this old set of scripts. _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries
