Please release a new version of snap-core to Hackage which builds properly #259

Closed tebello-thejane closed 8 years ago

tebello-thejane commented 8 years ago

My eyes might be deceiving me, but it would appear that the version of snap-core on Hackage has a dependency on MonadCatchIO-transformers -- a deprecated library which hasn't been updated in a bit -- and this therefore causes snap-core on Hackage to fail to build with GHC8.

The version on Hackage is 11 months old. Can we please release a new version which works on GHC8, since these issues have already been fixed on the Git repo?

In particular, snap-sever fails to build in GHC8 from Hackage, which causes the important ekg package to fail -- which is a terrible situation indeed.

You might want to have a look at #256.

It usually takes awhile to get all the pieces in place to support a new GHC version. We are working on it and planning to release Snap 1.0 on August 7 at the end of Hac Boston.

Also, if you would like to contribute, we have a wiki with the 1.0 todo list here:

Just released Snap 1.0 which should resolve this.
