With every new GHC release, also released any new versions of libraries

2011-08-25 Thread Johan Tibell
Hi! As part of GHC releases users also get a bunch of libraries. These libraries (e.g. array-0.3.0.3 in the last release) aren't uploaded on Hackage. This has some problems, including users on older versions of GHC not being able to upgrade to the new versions and broken documentation on Hackage.

GHC's parse tree contains lots of placeholders. You are not supposed to look at them until a specific phase has been run. For example, anything of type SyntaxExpr is an error thunk until the renamer has been run. Unfortunately, SyntaxExpr is just a type synonym, so there's no way to distinguish

FYI, as of 7.2 random wasn't shipped with GHC, but it's been updated on hackage as well (1.0.1.0). The API is still the haskell98 API, but there are some important bug fixes in there. Cheers, -Ryan On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 8:57 AM, Johan Tibell johan.tib...@gmail.comwrote: On Thu, Aug 25,
