</span>It has been brought to my attention that the fix included in<br>
text-1.2.1.2 does not in fact fix the rule issues triggered by GHC<br>
7.10.2 (see the later comments on #10528 for details). I have pushed<br>
text-1.2.1.3 to Hackage which finally resolves this issue.<br>
<br>
Users of GHC 7.10.2 should upgrade to text >=1.2.1.3 at their earliest<br>
convenience.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
