RE: ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.10.1 Release Candidate 1

I'm afraid not.  The situation is that Adam has a fairly complete patch for 
overloaded record fields, but neither he nor I are happy with it. It makes some 
fairly complicated and pervasive changes, and feels like a sledgehammer to 
crack a nut. We'd scheduled for Adam to spend a day at MSR for us to work on it 
together, but Adam had to cancel.  We'll hopefully re-arrange.

Meanwhile it'd be motivating to know who, if anyone, is actively keen on it.  
Kazu is presumably one.  I expect there are others, but I couldn't list them.

|  We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for GHC 7.10.1:
| 
|  https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.10.1-rc1/
| 
|  This includes the source tarball and bindists for 64bit/32bit Linux
|  and Windows. Binary builds for other platforms will be available
|  shortly. (CentOS 6.5 binaries are not available at this time like they
|  were for 7.8.x). These binaries and tarballs have an accompanying
|  SHA256SUMS file signed by my GPG key id (0x3B58D86F).
| 
|  We plan to make the 7.10.1 release sometime in February of 2015. We
|  expect another RC to occur during January of 2015.
| 
|  Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them
|  before the release!

GHC 7.8.4 Released!

https://www.haskell.org/ghc/

So 7.8.4 is out!

Only the download subpage https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download
is not updated yet.

Also
http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/
still refers to http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.8.3/
(and has a funny 7.8.4 subdirectory).

I send this also to glasgow-haskell-users to reach someone who can fix this.

Cheers Christian

Yes, sorry, neither 7.8.4 nor 7.10.1 is actually out yet.
They are both release candidates, and will be out soon.

Thanks,
Yitz

I don't think GHC 7.10 is out yet:  https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download

Although that page doesn't have 7.8.4 on it.

I counted about 10 people (including me) who appear to be actively keen on it 
on reddit: 
http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/2pnjdk/is_overloadedrecordfields_getting_it_into_7101/.
 I would guess there are others.
