GHC 8.6 changes the way that * is parsed in types. Specifically, * is always parsed as if it is a synonym for Type (that is, the kind of things like Int and Bool), not a binary operator. If you want it to be a binary operator, you must specify -XNoStarIsType.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Richard<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jun 30, 2018, at 7:33 PM, Richard Eisenberg <<a href="mailto:rae@cs.brynmawr.edu" class="">rae@cs.brynmawr.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">I've created a ticket for this: <a href="https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15329" class="">https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15329</a><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks for letting us know!<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jun 30, 2018, at 7:26 PM, Vanessa McHale <<a href="mailto:vanessa.mchale@iohk.io" class="">vanessa.mchale@iohk.io</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

<pre wrap="" class="">The GHC development team is pleased to announce the first
alpha release leading up to GHC 8.6.1. The usual release artifacts

This is the first release (partially) generated using our new CI
infrastructure. One known issue is that the haddock documentation is
currently unavailable. This will be fixed in the next alpha release. Do
let us know if you spot anything else amiss.
As always, do let us know if you encounter any trouble in the course of
testing. Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
