2013.4.0.0 proposal - getting to alpha

[Mark Lentczner]

Here is the current status of the 2013.4.0.0 proposal.

*Outstanding Issues*
We have a few decisions outstanding, and I'd like to have these decided by
Nov. 23 (one week).

   - fgl - waiting to hear if Ivan will have new version ready in time.
   - aeson / dlist - there are serveral options -- I'll start a separate
   thread on this topic.
   - alex / happy - I'd like to hear an "okay" from the maintainers on the
   major version bump


*Current Proposed Versions*
*GHC 7.6.3* -- same as last time (erroneously listed as a version bump last
time)

*Packages with no changes:*
        fgl, haskell-src, html, HUnit,
        mtl, parsec, QuickCheck, random,
        regex-base, regex-compat, regex-posix,
        split, stm, text, transformers,
        xhtml, zlib

*Packages held back:*
        cgi: 3001.1.7.5 (3001.1.8.4* requires MonadCatchIO-mtl)*

*Packages with minor version bumps:*
        HTTP: 4000.2.8 → 4000.2.9
        network: 2.4.1.2 → 2.4.2.0
        parallel: 3.2.0.3 → 3.2.0.4
        syb: 0.4.0 → 0.4.1
        unordered-containers: 0.2.3.0 → 0.2.3.3
        vector: 0.10.0.1 → 0.10.9.1?
        primitive: 0.5.0.1 → 0.5.1.0?

*Packages with major version bumps:*
        case-insensitive: 1.0.0.1 → 1.1.0.1
        hashable: 1.1.2.5 → 1.2.1.0

        GLUT: 2.4.0.0 → 2.5.0.1
        GLURaw: 1.3.0.0 → 1.4.0.0
        OpenGL: 2.8.0.0 → 2.9.1.0
        OpenGLRaw: 1.3.0.0 → 1.4.0.0

        alex: 3.0.5 → 3.1.0 *pending okay*
        happy: 1.18.10 → 1.19.0  *pending okay*

*Cabal:*
        Cabal: 1.16.0 → 1.18.1.2 *consensus seems to be that this will be
okay*
        cabal-install: 1.16.0.2 → 1.18.0.2


*Platform Packagers:*
This is likely to be the last HP source release that contains all the ad
hoc scripts for packaging. I canvased the group last time and as I recall,
everyone said they just used the .cabal file - and no one used the scripts.
I plan to replace them with a new tool built for the needs of the release,
and ditch this old set of scripts. If you need 'em, speak now, or forever
hold your peace!
