Here's a quick summary of the major developments that we already have in
the 6.8 codebase:
- Associated data types, and the new FC intermediate language
- GHCi debugger (although there's an overhaul of the breakpoint support
almost
ready to go in)
- Coverage (HPC)
- GADTs + typeclasses
- more packages moved from core to extralibs
- GHC API changes, compile to object code inside GHCi
- performance improvements: simplifier rewrite, and SpecConstr improvements
- standalone deriving declarations
- left-to-right impredicative instantiation: runST $ foo
It also has the Haddock comment support, so we could do a release of
Haddock-GHC.
Ah yes, I thought we were forgetting something. Thanks David.
