The very day before this announcement, I was porting my buildwrapper library to GHC 7.6.1, and then noticed that I couldn't get a version of cabal-install built with the Cabal library shipped with GHC. I thought "I'm not going to bother anybody, I'll just wait", and the next day, hop, there it is! Thanks guys, much appreciated! Installed on a Windows XP with GHC 7.6.1 with no issue. Even network installed first time with a properly configured MSYS shell. After porting buildwrapper, 100% of the test cases pass, I'm happy.
Thanks to all for this release!
