=============================================================
- The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 7.4.1
+ The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 7.4.2
=============================================================
-The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new major release of GHC, 7.4.1.
+The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new patchlevel release of GHC.
+This release contains a number of bugfixes relative to 7.4.1, so we
+recommend upgrading.
-Here are some of the highlights of the 7.4 branch since 7.2 and 7.0:
+The release notes are here:
- * The Num class no longer has Eq or Show superclasses.
-
- * There is a new feature Safe Haskell (-XSafe, -XTrustworthy, -XUnsafe).
- The design has changed since 7.2.
-
- * There is a new feature kind polymorphism (-XPolyKinds).
- A side-effect of this is that, when the extension is not enabled, in
- certain circumstances kinds are now defaulted to * rather than being
- inferred.
-
- * There is a new feature constraint kinds (-XConstraintKinds).
-
- * It is now possible to give any sort of declaration at the ghci prompt.
- For example, you can now declare datatypes within ghci.
-
- * The profiling and hpc implementations have been merged and overhauled.
- Visible changes include renaming of profiling flags, and a new
- semantics for the cost-centre stacks (which should in most cases
- result in more useful and intuitive profiles). The +RTS -xc flag now
- also gives a stack trace.
-
- * It is now possible to write compiler plugins.
-
- * DPH support has been significantly improved.
-
- * There is now preliminary support for registerised compilation using
- LLVM on the ARM platform.
