Hello everyone,
As the three-releases deprecation cycle has come to an end, GHC 9.8
marks the end of the integrated tags generation feature that used to
live in GHCi. Started in 2020, the deprecation proposal showed that many
people didn't know about its existence, and favoured external tools.
It is also a burden that is removed from the shoulders of GHC
developers, as it used to create friction with other features like
UnboxedSums.
You can find the proposal here:
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/19884
and the migration wiki page here:
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/GHCi/Tags
Thanks to everyone who was involved in this, especially Emily Martins.
Cheers,
Hécate
