Release 0.12: widen GHC support to 9.4-9.14, date the changelog - #160
Merged
Conversation
Boot-library bounds now span the CI-tested endpoints (pinned 9.4.7, canary 9.14.1): base <4.23, template-haskell <2.25, containers <0.9, time <1.16. 0.11's base <4.19 cap made the package uninstallable on current GHCs and failed Hackage's doc builder (GHC 9.8). Bounds are now stated once per dependency instead of repeated across components (Hackage trustee guidance): the executable and test suites use bare names for packages the libraries already bound. The executable's own base <4.19 copy - which would have silently kept the widened package capped - is exactly the drift this prevents. CHANGELOG's Unreleased section becomes 0.12, dated today.

Release-prep for cutting 0.12 to Hackage.
toolchain runs the full battery, the newest-GHC canary builds
-Werrorandruns the cabal suites on 9.14.1:
base <4.23,template-haskell <2.25,containers <0.9,time <1.16. Exact 9.14.1 boot versions confirmedagainst the GHC version-history table (base 4.22, TH 2.24, containers 0.8,
time 1.15); the Hackage doc builder's GHC 9.8.4 (base 4.19) now falls in
range, so 0.12 should get docs and a green build report without manual
uploads. GHC 9.14.1 joins
Tested-With.test suites drop their duplicated ranges. The executable carried its own
base >= 4.17 && < 4.19— left in place, it would have silently kept thepackage uninstallable on GHC 9.8+ despite the library widening.
[Unreleased]→[0.12] - 2026-07-02, with a Changed entry forthe above.
cabal checkis clean. After merge: tag v0.12, pre-flight (sdist,build+test from tarball, haddock), candidate upload, publish.
