## Timeline for `MonadFail` transition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The committee decided that the `MonadFail` class should appear in Prelude in GHC 8.4, the same time as fail switches over to the new class. [Proposals/MonadFail](libraries/proposals/monad-fail)

## Adding floating-point operators
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The committee decided to introduce the new operators to the class with suitable default implementations. The new methods would not be exported in Prelude. Decisions about removing the default implementations in the future are deferred to a future committee. [Proposals/ExpandFloating](libraries/proposals/expand-floating)

## Trac-ing proposals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

## Updating committee membership
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We discussed replacing the HP ex-officio committee membership with three new slots. The goal of the expansion would be to incorporate more diverse views in order to strengthen the mandate of the committee to guide the libraries. Edward expects to reopen the chair position next year.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The committee agreed that regularly scheduled, bi-monthly meetings would be useful for coordinating committee actions.

## Removing return from Monad
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The committee agreed to leave return in the Monad class at this point. With the default implementation available in GHC 7.10, this question can be revisited at a future release. There was agreement, however, on resolving to work toward removing (\>\>) from the class while preserving performance across a window of versions.
