What incompatibilities with GHC 6.2 and nhc98 1.16 have you discovered
that weren't present in 200311? I know of:
Library changes (also present in GHC 6.4 and nhc98 1.18):
* instance Integral CTime removed (#299568):
avoid fromIntegral on this type.
* Show andFunctor instances added for FiniteMap:
can be worked around using cpp.
* System.IO no longer re-exports System.IO.Error:
need to tweak imports a little.
Hugs only:
* locale-based encoding of character I/O (#299570):
use binary I/O for binary data.
* locale-based encoding of filenames and environment variables in H98 libs:
a loss when these are binary or in an unknown encoding,
but a gain for users who use their locale's encoding
(and H98 specifies these as String, not [Word8]).
