Gearing up (again) for the next release: 2014.2.0.0

[Simon Peyton Jones]

OK, my GHC build is now complete. I can confirm that the original bug has in fact been fixed. I can also confirm that Yesod issue 713 about yesod-auth is *also* resolved, even though it was not part of the original GHC ticket. Furthermore, the entire yesod-platform compiles (after fixing a language-javascript version number).

Well that's a relief.  I'm very sorry about the post-RC2 bug.  It was my fault; I was fixing a bug that people wanted fixed (#8913) and managed to introduce a new one, and one that no regression test caught.

michael, yes, these are a bug that snuck in POST RC2, its getting fixed this week. Contact Austin and ask for a binary, or build from 7.8 tip


I just woke up, came downstairs, and kicked off a GHC build. If anyone has a Linux 64-bit binary ready and can send me the link, I'll be able to test that much sooner.

Someone has also reported a second bug, which may or may not be fixed by the proposed 7.8.2[1]. Hopefully I'll have more information in the next few hours.

I'm going to go ahead with a Stackage build to look for any other regressions, which should be complete in the next 4 hours or so (maybe less). But from the Yesod world, you can consider tip[1] signed off on.
