8.0.1-rc4 then let us know, grab the source distribution and<br>
start building. The binary distributions will be all released one<br>
week from today.<br>
<br>
Hello GHC packagers,<br>
<br>
I am happy to announce the release of the 8.0.1-rc4 source distribution<br>
to binary packagers. This release should resolve all of the issues noted<br>
in the release candidate 3 announcement. You will find the usual<br>
artifacts at<br>
<br>
<a href="http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1-rc4/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1-rc4/</a><br>
<br>
For this candidate we are again following our new release policy [1],<br>
with a one-week delay between the release of the source and binary<br>
distributions. The goal of this policy is to give all platforms the<br>
opportunity for support from the first day of a release.<br>
<br>
If all of the expected binary releases are submitted before the<br>
week-long delay has elapsed, we will move forward with the release of<br>
the binaries on an accelerated schedule. It would be appreciated if you<br>
could reply to this message confirming that you intend to offer a binary<br>
distribution this release.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, let either Austin or I know if you have any trouble building<br>
your distribution. I have yet to push the ghc-8.0.1-rc4 tag in case we<br>
encounter unexpected issues but all of my builds with this tarball<br>
thusfar have gone quite well.<br>
<br>
Good luck and thanks for all of your work!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
