GHC 9.8 freeze for boot libraries?
@bgamari @mpickering I cannot find an official timeline for GHC 9.8. Could you possibly clarify the following deadlines?
- What is the latest for boot libraries to cut major releases to be included in GHC 9.8? I'm looking to accomodate
bytestring-0.12
,text-2.1
and probablydeepseq-1.5
. - What is the latest for boot libraries to cut minor releases?
unix
should make one, but we are not finished yet. - What is the latest for breaking/major changes to
base
which can be backported toghc-9.8
branch? Like the approved addition ofPrelude.foldl'
. - What is the latest for non-breaking changes to
base
? There is a stream of reasonably minor CLC proposal.
If my memory serves me well, the usual deadline was "up to the first alpha release", but there seems to be no publicly announced date for such.
