In that case I should perhaps try to get in !1102, which makes all the fixed-sized prim types always available, in too?

I'm fine either way, but figure it's nice for any CPP to deal with the fixed and bignum numeric representation changing across a single release, and the schedule gives us time to patch important packages that need it between mid-June and the end of September.

Cheers,

John

Hi Ben,

ghc-bignum (!2231) is ready to be merged for 8.12. We are just waiting for bytestring/text maintainers to merge 2 simple patches.

Thanks,
Sylvain

Hi everyone,

The time is again upon us to start thinking about release planning for
the next major release: GHC 8.12. In keeping with our 6-month release
schedule, I propose the following schedule:

  * Mid-June 2020: Aim to have all major features in the tree
  * Late-June 2020: Cut the ghc-8.12 branch
  * June - August 2020: 3 alpha releases
  * 1 September 2020: beta release
  * 25 September 2020: Final 8.12.1 release

So, if you have any major features which you would like to merge for
8.12, now is the time to start planning how to wrap them up in the next
month or so. As always, do let me know if you think this may be
problematic and we can discuss options.

Cheers,

- Ben
