  2. Third venue confirmed for darcs hacking sprint, 25-26 October. Brighton, Portland and now Paris are all CONFIRMED. Come hack with us!
  3. code.haskell.org upgrades to darcs 2! /usr/bin/darcs is now darcs 2.0.2 on this server. No action is needed on the user’s part.
  4. Retiring GHC 6.4. Nobody seems to be using GHC 6.4 to compile darcs after all, so we shall be dropping support for it.
