> Here's a quick summary of the major developments that we already have in
> the 6.8 codebase:
>
> - Associated data types, and the new FC intermediate language
> - GHCi debugger (although there's an overhaul of the breakpoint support
> almost
>   ready to go in)
> - Coverage (HPC)
> - GADTs + typeclasses
> - more packages moved from core to extralibs
> - GHC API changes, compile to object code inside GHCi
> - performance improvements: simplifier rewrite, and SpecConstr improvements
> - standalone deriving declarations
> - left-to-right impredicative instantiation: runST $ foo

It also has the Haddock comment support, so we could do a release of
Haddock-GHC.
