GHC 8.8-related changelogs omit several important major developments
While looking at the various changelogs associated with GHC 8.8, I noticed several key omissions:
libraries/base/changelog.md
-
The 4.13.0.0entry makes no mention ofMonadFailwhatsoever.
docs/users_guide/8.8.1-notes.rst
No mention of any of the following:
-
Visible kind application -
More explicit foralls in type family equations andRULES -
The basesection also does not mentionMonadFail. Ideally, it would also point to https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/proposal/monad-fail#adapting-old-code -
The Template Haskell section makes no mention of visible kind applications nor more explicit foralls.
