As this wasn't explicitly mentioned in the announce, I'd like to point your attention to https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Migration/8.0 which would benefit greatly from early adopters. More importantly, this helps us all to reduce the boring & redundant investigative work of rediscovering the same migration techniques by multiple parties over and over again... :-) ---- I'd also like to remind you that (more or less) daily snapshots of GHC 8.0.1 for Ubuntu {Precise,Trusty,Vivid,Wily} are already available via https://github.com/hvr/multi-ghc-travis This also includes a "cabal-install-1.24" package (which currently contains the current latest devel snapshots of cabal-install soon to become version 1.24) This specifically allows you to integrate GHC 8.0.1 & cabal-install 1.24 into your test-matrices in the `travis.yml` files, and thereby help detect GHC 8.0 & Cabal 1.2[34] issues early on. The new packages have been whitelisted for containerised Travis jobs already.
