Hello devs,
time marches and so do our plans for future releases.
We plan to fork the 10.0 branch on April 1st (no not a joke).
If you have work you want to see land in 10.0 please try to land it on
ghc-master before that time,
as we plan to do no *feature* backports beyond that point. Bugfixes of
course will continue to be
backport beyond the fork date.
If you wonder about the supermajor version bump this was discussed in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/26198.
And while ghc-10.0 will come with great features, the primary motivation
is simple. Every LTS will be the last major release
of a given supermajor version going forward. (9.14 being the first
official LTS).
This has a few benefits and overall just seemed like the least confusing
option:
* The last major release of any supermajor version will be it's LTS release.
* The LTS release for a supermajor version will have all features
present in any other major release of that supermajor release
(deprecations excluded)
Happy Hacking
Andreas
