6 |
7 | The recommended method for getting up and running is to [install
8 | Stack](http://haskellstack.org). As a quick
9 | overview: Stack is a full-featured Haskell build tool that will install
10 | necessary build tools (like the Glasgow Haskell Compiler- GHC), and is
11 | preloaded with support for Stackage snapshots- both LTS Haskell and Stackage
12 | Nightly.

5 | timestamp: 2021-05-29T16:07:00Z

7 |
8 | We have been looking for an opportunity to switch to GHC-9 on our nightly builds and have decided
9 | that GHC-9 has been out long enough and we need to get on with preparing the ecosystem for its
10 | eventual deployment as the Haskell toolchain of choice. To that end, in the coming weeks we will be
11 |
12 | * releasing LTS 18 based on GHC 8.10.4 (or GHC 8.10.5, should it make
13 | an appearance) and
14 |
15 | * switching nightly to GHC 9.0.1 (or GHC 9.0.2 if it is released in time).
16 |
17 | We can expect many packages to be removed from nightly due to build constraints being violated, or
18 | even real API breakage, and we will need your help getting everything back into the new release.
19 |
20 | We have prepared a [ghc-9 branch](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/pull/6047) which will become the first GHC 9 nightly and encourage you to check the diff to see if any of your packages are subject to removal. If you'd like them to be included in the initial GHC 9 nightly, please file a PR against that branch ([example](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/pull/6048))

8 | I am pleased to announce that Stackage nightly snapshots now use
9 | ghc-8.4.1. Stack users can simply use `resolver: nightly-2018-03-16`
10 | in a project's stack.yaml file in order to build and test with ghc-8.4.1.
11 |
12 | As is usual when a new ghc is released, many packages were removed
13 | from the nightly snapshot due to version constraints and build failures.
14 | We expect many packages to return quickly to the build plan, and
15 | we hope that the existing snapshots will help mainatainers get back in
16 | by making it easy to build and test their packages.
17 |
18 | Please check to see if your favorite packages are in
19 | [the latest nightly snapshot](https://stackage.org/nightly),
20 | and open up a PR or an issue on https://github.com/fpco/stackage if
21 | you find anything missing which is known to work with ghc-8.4.1.
22 |
23 | As ghc moves to its new 6-month release cycle, I'd like to encourage everyone
24 | to be proactive in bumping bounds and testing packages you rely on
25 | with the new ghc alphas and release candidates as they come out.
26 | Haskell has a remarkable ecosystem; let's strive to make it even better!

8 | We are pleased to announce the release of
9 | [lts-12.0](https://www.stackage.org/lts-12.0),
10 | the first in a new
11 | [LTS Haskell](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/lts-haskell#readme)
12 | snapshot series, using ghc-8.4.3.
13 | (See: [changes from lts-11.17](https://www.stackage.org/diff/lts-11.17/lts-12.0).)
14 | We thank all of the package authors involved in supporting
15 | the Haskell ecosystem. LTS Haskell would not be possible without you!
16 |
17 | To add your package to future snapshots in the LTS 12 series,
18 | please open a new issue on
19 | [commercialhaskell/lts-haskell](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/lts-haskell).
20 |
21 | As per our usual
22 | [LTS release procedure](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/blob/master/CURATORS.md#new-lts-major-bump),
23 | we have lifted many constraints from the Stackage nightly build plan.
24 | Various packages were removed in order to accomplish this,
25 | and package authors should have been
26 | notified on the corresponding github issues.
27 | To add (or restore) your package to the Stackage nightly builds,
28 | see [MAINTAINERS.md](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md#adding-a-package) on the stackage repo.
29 |
30 | It is uncertain at this time whether LTS 13
31 | (anticipated to release in 3 to 5 months)
32 | will use ghc-8.4 or ghc 8.6.
33 | We encourage package authors to make use of the ghc
34 | alpha and rc releases in order to test their packages
35 | and speed up the adoption of new ghc versions.

15 | the many package maintainers involved in supporting the Haskell ecosystem.
16 | LTS Haskell is made possible by your hard work. Thank you!
17 |
18 | The LTS 13 series can add even more packages with each new snapshot (released weekly).
19 | To add a package to future snapshots in the LTS 13 series,

25 | we have lifted many constraints from the Stackage nightly build plan.
26 | Various packages may have been removed in order to accomplish this;
27 | package authors should have been notified on the github issue justifying the removal.
28 | However, we generally look at package removals as temporary.
29 | To add (or restore) your package to the Stackage nightly builds,
30 | see [MAINTAINERS.md](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md#adding-a-package)

8 | The Stackage team is very happy to announce the initial [Stackage LTS version 19](https://www.stackage.org/lts-19.0) snapshot release is now available, based on GHC version 9.0.2. This release is significant for several reasons:
9 |
10 | - not only is it the first stable LTS release based on ghc9,
11 | - it also includes many significant [upgrades](https://www.stackage.org/diff/lts-18.28/lts-19.0), including aeson-2.0 with improved security, and
12 | - it is also the largest stable LTS release we have ever done: just 1 short of 2900 packages!
13 |
14 | Of course it is still possible to get your package added to lts-19, if it builds with lts19 and you missed to get it into Nightly in time for the initial lts-19.0 build: using our straightforward process - just open a github issue in the [lts-haskell](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/lts-haskell/issues) project and following the template there.
15 |
16 | Thank you to the great Haskell community for all the many contributions
17 | you are making - do keep them coming!
18 |
19 | At the same time we are also excited to [move Nightly now to GHC 9.2.2](https://www.stackage.org/nightly-2022-03-19) - enjoy! Apparently there will be a 9.2.3 bugfix release coming, so we will update Nightly to that after it is released.
20 |
21 | Quite a number of Nightly packages had to be [disabled](https://www.stackage.org/diff/nightly-2022-03-17/nightly-2022-03-19) as part of the upgrade to 9.2. This is being tracked in
