We are pleased to announce the Release Candidate phase for GHC 6.6.1. Snapshots beginning with 6.6.20070409 are release candidates for 6.6.1
You can download snapshots from here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ Right now we have the source bundles: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.6.20070409-src.tar.bz2 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.6.20070409-src-extralibs.tar.bz2 Only the first of these is necessary. The "extralibs" package contains various extra packages that we normally supply with GHC - unpack the extralibs tarball on top of the source tree to add them, and they will be included in the build automatically. There are also currently binary distributions for x86_64/Linux and i386/Linux. More may appear later. The Windows (mingw) binary distributions are currently broken, but we hope to have this resolved soon. Please test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release! We hope to release in a couple of weeks, but of course that may slip if problems are uncovered.
