Hello everyone, Over the last week I've been busily helping Richard finish up the last bits destined for 8.2.1. At this point things are looking okay, although there is still a bit of a push necessary before we can cut an 8.2 branch,
* We have decided to punt the separation of * and Constraint (#11715) off to 8.4 due to design complications * The generalization of (->)'s kind (D2038) is done and passes the testsuite save a performance regression which I am currently investigating * The recent levity polymorphism work regressed the profiled build (#13223) which I am working on fixing. * The type-indexed Typeable patch works save one regression which I am working on with Simon * Merge the subset of OverloadedRecordFields wanted for 8.2 * Update boot library submodules It looks likely that these tasks will require a majority of the rest of this week to work out. Consequently, I'm currently aiming to cut the branch for 8.2 on Friday. I'll then spend a few days testing the tree against Hackage and, if nothing goes terribly awry, likely cut a source release mid-to-late next week. Cheers, - Ben
