this leads us to the question: What do we want in squeeze? Are we happy
with the current situation? Or should we try to get 6.12.3 and 2010.2.
ready?
Here's a more complete changelog,
http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/NOTES-2010.2.0.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Release 2010.2.0.0
Changelog:
* A crash when Haskell calls C, which in turn calls back into Haskell,
has been fixed.
Note that bug was in 6.12.2, but not 6.12.1 or 6.12.3.
* A bug which caused forking large processes to not terminate has been
fixed.
* Calling hSetEncoding will now set the encoding for both the read and
write side of a Handle, rather than just the read side.
* Using hReady and hWaitForInput on Handles created from Sockets will
no longer block on Windows.
* Some improvements have been made in when library functions do, and
do not, block asynchronous exceptions.
* bytestring: Fixed bug that caused hGetContents to block when it
shouldn't.
This was the other bug in 6.12.2, not present in earlier or later releases.
Cheers,
Simon
* A new flag -no-rtsopts flag allows you to disable parsing of +RTS
... options by the run-time system. In some use-cases, when a
program can be run as another user, this can cause security
problems. For example, myprog -tsomefile will overwrite somefile if
the other user has permissions to do so.
* ghc-pkg now ensures that the conf files it writes are UTF8.
* TH: A bug in the kind parser has been fixed.
* directory: System.Directory.doesFileExist on Unix-like OSes now
correctly identifies various types of special file as files.
