Hi Ian,
thanks for the update on plans and the willingness to jump in and do another
release cycle so soon after 6.10.2. The suggested fixes seem agreeable to
me, but I have one _minor_ additional request for 6.10.3 if you end having
to rebuild 'base' -- add a DEPRECATED (or some such) to
Foreign.ForeignPtr.{newForeignPtr,addForeignPtrFinalizer} to indicate
that the operational behaviour of these have changed.
Small change, but could be helpful to package users&authors when migrating
beyond 6.10.1
I agree that it's a little unfortunate that this change is in a minor
release.
I'm not sure what can be done as far as automatic messages go however.
The notice about the change is in the release notes. The functions are
not deprecated (they're part of the FFI spec).
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that they were. Just offered it as a
pragmatic solution to deliver
extra help to folks without spending the dev. time to implement a more
appropriate pragma
like WARNING/INFO. If such a thing already existed...
