We've entered the build phase of the next Haskell Platform release, 2012.4.0.0: - *October 1st, 2012* - Proposals decided, Initial version list - *October 15th, 2012* - First candidates - *October 29th, 2012* - Open issues resolved, Second candidates - *November 5th, 2012* - Final release candidates - *November 12th, 2012* - Release, Party The* proposed package and version listhttps://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/blob/pre-release/haskell-platfor... *has been pushed to the *pre-releasehttps://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/tree/pre-release * branch of the repo. *New packages:* - *async* - 2.0.1.3 - *split* - 0.2.1.1 - *vector* - 0.10 Note that vector will induce primitive 0.5, but we won't consider that part of the platform, letting it just be pulled in by cabal during the build. GHC already has several packages in this category (binary, ghc-prim), and I hope to have a more consistent method of treating such packages next time around. *If you are a packager or builder of HP releases:* Almost time to start building. There is now yet a new bug in the Build.hs script, (it is very sensitive to the exact version of cabal), and I'm working on it... - Mark "mzero" Lentczner, Chef de la Release
