Hi everybody, In an earlier message [1], I promised that darcs would support GHC 6.6 for one more release (version 2.3 in July). But recently, we decided to push for getting basic hashed-storage support into darcs. It looks like getting hashed-storage to install on GHC 6.6 is going to be difficult if not impossible. While it might be possible to coax older GHC into installing it (by relaxing the base requirement to start with), this work would probably be a poor investment of our time. So I'm afraid we're going to have to renege on this promise and drop GHC 6.6 support after all.
I know this may cause some users difficulties in getting the latest version of darcs. We'll be standing by if you need any help working out a solution for installing darcs on your machines. GHC 6.6 build slave owners: it looks like it's time to either upgrade or retire your slaves. Darcs hackers: I think we can proceed with any other GHC-6.6 breaking changes we've been putting off now. The documentation should probably be updated accordingly too, and darcs.net along with it.
