GHC 8 compatibility #52

Closed xich closed 8 years ago

xich commented 8 years ago

Now that GHC 8 RC 1 is out, would it be possible to bump the bounds so this could build with GHC 8.0?

I think all that is needed is bumps to upper bounds of transformers (< 0.6) and template-haskell (< 2.12). I would submit a patch, but wasn't sure what to do about transformers-compat. I just removed it locally, but I realize that isn't an option for everyone.

Sorry, just noticed #51

Noticed a release today, so I went to give it a try. I think it won't work until you bump the bound on transformers-compat:
