A new release

[kazu-yamamoto]

@eborden Let's collect working items:

• version bumps up: v2.6.2.1 or v2.6.3.0 or others?
• CHANGELOG.md
• tagging
• announcement to haskell-cafe

First, let's decide how will work for each item.

[eborden]

The version number certainly depends on if we care about orphan instances. It is a bug fix release if we don't care, it is possibly higher if we do (2.7.0.0). It might be helpful to document the versioning scheme in the wiki for this purpose.

[kazu-yamamoto]

@eborden GHC8 is now out there. I think it's nice to release v2.6.3.0. What do you think?

Relating to #191.

[eborden]

Indeed. #200, #194, #193, #192, #190 are primed for a release. There are a few other open PRs that I'd like to close or resolve. #187 should likely be revisited.

[kazu-yamamoto]

I think that #169 is very important. Actually, a friend of mine fell into the same hole.
However, I would not accept #187 because of the performance issue.
As I said in #169, I would like to provide Safe modules in the future.

[eborden]

Agreed, a performance regression is not acceptable. Might as well merge #186 then.

[ggreif]

@eborden I suggest #205 for inclusion

[kazu-yamamoto]

#205 has been merged.

[kazu-yamamoto]

@eborden I vote for 2.6.3.0 as a new version.

[kazu-yamamoto]

I'm now trying to update CHANGELOG. Please wait for a day or so.

[eborden]

@kazu-yamamoto Agreed on 2.6.3.0 as we are deferring the Safe discussion to a later release.

[kazu-yamamoto]

@eborden OK. I have updated CHANGELOG. Please check. If you are fine with it, please make a new release:

• Change the version to 2.6.3.0 in network.cabal
• Put a version tag and push it to github
• Pack the new version and upload it to hackage
• Announce to haskell-cafe

I will go on a summer vacation from tomorrow to Tuesday. So, I will be inactive for a while.
