Is Simon's remote GHCi patch planned to go in before the fork? I'm still working on upgrading GHCJS to work with the master branch, but I haven't quite finished yet. This change would clearly require some restructuring of GHCJSi and Template Haskell in GHCJS, and I'm not sure if a week is enough to test the changes. Also the recent removal of boot file merging reintroduces a problem with that I'm not sure can be fixed without adding a new hook.
What's the policy on adding hooks or GHC API tweaks after the freeze? cheers, Luite On Wed, Dec 2, 2015 at 7:34 PM Ben Gamari <b...@well-typed.com> wrote: > tl;dr: feature freeze is imminent; get any remaining patches in ASAP. > > > Hello all, > > The GHC 8.0 release cycle is quickly approaching its conclusion.
