ZuriHac 2019 - GHC Track
Dear GHC devs, This year's ZuriHac 2019 [1] will again feature a dedicated GHC track to foster contributions to GHC and teach newcomers how to participate in GHC's development. It was a great success last year, and we hope it will be a great success this year as well. For that we need your help: We would like to invite you to organize a session in the GHC track. This could be in form of a presentation, a workshop, or a hack session with topics centered around GHC. For some inspiration, these are the subjects from last year's track: - Continuous Integration / DevOps, by Manual Chakravarty - PrimOps / PrimTypes, by Michal Terepeta - Performance Regression Tests, by Niklas Hambüchen - Newcomers Tutorial, by Andreas Herrmann Other possible subjects could be around: - Improving documentation - Extending GHC's test-suite - General GHC development workflows - The inner workings of some aspect of GHC Aside from preparing a session, we are also looking for volunteers to be around as GHC mentors during hack sessions to help out newcomers. Please let us know if you'd be interested in leading a session, or being a mentor, or helping out with this track in any other way. You can contact either Niklas or myself, on this list or by private message. Best, Niklas and Andreas ZuriHac 2019 GHC track coordinators [1]: https://zfoh.ch/zurihac2019/ ___ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
[ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.6.5 is now available
Hello everyone, The GHC team is proud to announce the release of GHC 8.6.5. The source distribution, binary distributions, and documentation are available at https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.5 Release notes are also available [1]. This release fixes a handful of issues with 8.6.4: - Binary distributions once again ship with Haddock documentation including syntax highlighted source of core libraries (#16445) - A build system issue where use of GCC with `-flto` broke `configure` was fixed (#16440) - An bug affecting Windows platforms wherein XMM register values could be mangled when entering STG has been fixed (#16514) - Several Windows packaging issues resulting from the recent CI rework. (#16408, #16398, #16516) Do note that due to linking issues (see #15934) profiling will be rather unreliable on Windows. This will be fixed in 8.8.1. As always, if anything looks amiss do let us know. Happy compiling! Cheers, - Ben [1] http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.5/docs/html/users_guide/8.6.5-notes.html signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
