Subject: [GHC-Releases] GHC 9.14 fork status
Message-ID: <877c1g8tch.fsf@smart-cactus.org>

Hi all,

As those of you at Zurihac may know, we are currently in the process of
preparing for the GHC 9.14 fork. This week I have been working through
the various necessary core library version bumps and submodule changes.
My hope is that we can land this work early next week and declare the
fork at some point in the days that follow.

I am aware of a few things that we want to land prior to forking:

 * @int-index's !14136 (Visible forall in GADTs)
 * testing and enabling of LLVM 20 support
 * an update of win32-tarballs
 * Cheng's libffi update (!14392)

If you have any further work that you would like to see in 9.14 please
do let me know by next Wednesday.

If all goes well, my hope is that we can have our first alpha out by the
end of this month, with an eye towards a final release in early
September.

Cheers,

- Ben

Subject: [GHC-Releases] GHC 9.14 boot library status
Message-ID: <878qlw8tuq.fsf@smart-cactus.org>

Hi all,

This week I have been pushing through submodule updates and bounds
bumps in preparation for the fork of the GHC 9.14 release. Today I have
opened merge requests against those boot libraries which will require
changes to integrate into 9.14; thankfully, it appears that these
changes are all limited to bounds bumps this cycle.

In keeping with our release management policy [1], I have updated GHC's
submodules to reflect the current releases present on Hackage. I have
also updated the submodule tracking spreadsheet [2] to reflect the
expected boot library versions on release. Please have a look over the
spreadsheet and if you would like to see anything changed here, update
it accordingly at some point in the next few weeks.

As always, thanks for your efforts!

Cheers,

- Ben

Hi Ben,

Can we land the following patches:

* https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/14183
* https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/14321
* https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/14377

If someone could help landing #14183, that would be good.

Matt
