It looks like you still have a previous version of the package installed (i.e., from earlier this week). Try registering yesod-core and installing again: ghc-pkg unregister yesod-core --force && cabal install yesod General note: hopefully we'll have a better process for betas in the future, this was really a trial run at things. Thanks for sticking it out and continuing to help test :) Michael On Fri, Apr 15, 2011 at 5:46 PM, Chris Casinghino wrote:

Hi all, I've put up the Yesod 0.8 migration guide[1]. I'm planning on releasing

and find those last few bugs before release. I have one idea that I wanted to bounce around. The biggest thing in this release is the transition to Text. Overall, this is a good move, but it's just a little bit annoying to lose out on convenience functions like concat and ++. As a convenience, I'm considering exporting the following from

Thanks, you're right - I had cleaned out yesod but not yesod-core.

One more thing: I notice in the latest version of yesod-form, selectField takes a list with Strings but maybeSelectField takes a list with Texts. Any reason for this difference?

Thanks again!
