GHC-8.8 compatible release

[phadej]

Things seem to be fixed in master, but there are no release.

Well, GHC 8.8.1 isn't released either yet... ;-)

[phadej]

I made a GHC issue for this: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16690

Please coordinate with @bgamari so transformers fiasko won't happen again.

I really try to help by making these issues, so they aren't forgotten. If these have no value, feel free to close.

Thank you for opening this ticket, @phadej!

Ping.

Ok, so we mostly need a patchlevel release due to 96149a4 for GHC 8.8's sake

@bgamari but what about #241 ?

[bgamari]

@hvr, it seems like it would be a good idea to merge #241 if you can.

Correct.

[bgamari]

@hvr, what can I do to help here? This is becoming quite urgent.

@bgamari ebb98f3 is basically an RC for text-1.2.4.0 to go along with GHC 8.8.1; do you want me to tag it?

[bgamari]

Yes, please do.
