[ANN] Release Candidate for `mtl-2.3`

Hello all,

Chessai and I are excited to announce a release candidate for mtl: mtl-2.3-rc3!

Timeline

The timeline for release will be as follows:

  • This announcement marks the start of the timeline

  • We will give 2 weeks of testing before considering release

  • If no major issues are filed before then, mtl-2.3-rc3 will be released as mtl-2.3, and if issues are found, they will be amended, and a new release candidate will be announced, resetting the 2 week period.

To test mtl-2.3-rc3 for yourself, please feel free to add the following to your cabal.project:


source-repository-package
  type: git
  location: https://github.com/haskell/mtl.git 
  tag: 5d0f62b8007bb96e49f36a5544741cfe96a97130

or, if you’re a stack user add this entry to your extra-deps:


- git: https://github.com/haskell/mtl.git
  commit: 5d0f62b8007bb96e49f36a5544741cfe96a97130

And make sure to adjust all bounds/allow-newer accordingly. Please note that this release of mtl is a full major version release, and will be the last of the 2.x series before work begins on updating the mtl class hierarchy.
