Over the last week I've been busily helping Richard finish up the last<br class="gmail_msg">
bits destined for 8.2.1. At this point things are looking okay, although<br class="gmail_msg">
there is still a bit of a push necessary before we can cut an 8.2<br class="gmail_msg">
branch,<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
* We have decided to punt the separation of * and Constraint (#11715)<br class="gmail_msg">
off to 8.4 due to design complications<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
* The generalization of (->)'s kind (D2038) is done and passes the<br class="gmail_msg">
testsuite save a performance regression which I am currently<br class="gmail_msg">
investigating<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
* The recent levity polymorphism work regressed the profiled build<br class="gmail_msg">
(#13223) which I am working on fixing.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
* The type-indexed Typeable patch works save one regression which I am<br class="gmail_msg">
working on with Simon<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
* Merge the subset of OverloadedRecordFields wanted for 8.2<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
* Update boot library submodules<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
It looks likely that these tasks will require a majority of the rest of<br class="gmail_msg">
this week to work out. Consequently, I'm currently aiming to cut the<br class="gmail_msg">
branch for 8.2 on Friday. I'll then spend a few days testing the tree<br class="gmail_msg">
against Hackage and, if nothing goes terribly awry, likely cut a source<br class="gmail_msg">
release mid-to-late next week.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
