I think there is no shortage of things to say about 8.2. Lots of<br>
features and numerous important bugfixes.<br>

Currently it is looking like 8.4.1 will be another cleanup release.<br>
The only item I can think of beyond those listed on the status page is<br>
the possibility of progress on #8809.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>I believe there was a post on the Tweag IO blog suggesting linear types work might make 8.4.1. If not true it might be worth saying this is coming post 8.4.1 but I guess that's true of lots of things.</div><div><br></div><div>On the bug section of the status page it has "Implement Improved LLVM backend". It might be worth mentioning that in the highlights section if it is still on track.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

For what it's worth I'll be saying a few words about some of the<br>
development infrastructure efforts that we've been undertaking. This<br>
includes changes in release timing, our CI infrastructure and the status<br>
of the proposal process. My time will be shared with Andrey, who will<br>
share some words about the Hadrian merge and remaining tasks therein.<br>
