The Stability Working Group has continued to meet and this is to provide a monthly view into the discussions, and projects.
The group met twice during May 2023.
Main topics of discussion included:
- The CLC proposal around clarifying GHC internals exposed in
base. - Strategies for migrating those GHC internals out of
base. - Recruitment for the group
On going and completed projects:
- (Completed) Add a glossary to the GHC documentation to give a clarifying space on terms such as “technology preview” when they are used elsewhere in documentation and release notes.
- Examine possibilities for a more stable TemplateHaskell interface.
- Additional clarifications around some GHC features.
As noted above we are actively seeking more membership, particularly as the current members remain bandwidth limited for seeing actions completed. If you would like to contribute in some way please reach out.
Further, the group exists to serve the community looking for paths to reduce the cost of inevitable change throughout the ecosystem. If there is anything you want to be sure the group sees please reach out!
We can be reached as a group on Github, or via email mailto:stability@haskell.foundation, as well as in response to this post.
You can also reach out to me directly if for any reason you do wish to reach the group directly. A direct message here, via email mailto:trevis@flipstone.com, on Github with username telser, are just a few of the ways to contact me. I’m happy to discuss any ideas for the group as well as proxy any request that the group talk about a particular issue.
Finally, all feedback on this update is greatly appreciated.
