Hello everyone, GHC 8.2.1 release candidate 2 has been out for a few weeks now and, while it turned up a number of issues, it seems that the release is (slowly) solidifying. Currently the ghc-8.2 branch has nearly 50 commits since the -rc2 tag, fixing many of the issues that have been reported. While we were hoping that 8.2 would require only two release candidates, it seems pretty clear that a third is in order.
At this point, there are still a few more tickets in need of resolution before -rc3 release candidate can be cut. Hopefully these will be sorted out in the coming week, which means that we can cut a new source release by mid-next week, with the binary releases coming a week later. Unfortunately this all means that we'll realistically be looking at a 8.2.1 release date sometime near the beginning of July. As always, help is greatly appreciated; drop by #ghc if you would like to help squash some bugs. Cheers, - Ben
