  to

    noDuplicate# :: State# s -> State# s
  

0.5.0.0

• Shipped with GHC 8.0.1

• GHC.Classes: new class IP (a :: Symbol) b | a -> b

• GHC.Prim: changed type signatures from

    check# :: (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, a #)) -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #)
    finalizeWeak# :: Weak# a -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Int#, State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #) #)
    mkWeak# :: a -> b -> c -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Weak# b #)
  

  to

    check# :: (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, a #)) -> State# RealWorld -> State# RealWorld
    finalizeWeak# :: Weak# a -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Int#, State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, b #) #)
    mkWeak# :: a -> b -> (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, c #)) -> State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, Weak# b #)
  

• Removed from GHC.Prim:

    parAt# :: b -> a -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> c -> Int#
    parAtAbs# :: a -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> b -> Int#
    parAtForNow# :: b -> a -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> c -> Int#
    parAtRel# :: a -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> b -> Int#
    parGlobal# :: a -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> b -> Int#
    parLocal# :: a -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> Int# -> b -> Int#
  

• Added to GHC.Prim:

    getSizeofMutableByteArray# :: MutableByteArray# d -> State# d -> (# State# d, Int# #)
    subWordC# :: Word# -> Word# -> (# Word#, Int# #)
    runRW# :: (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, o #)) -> (# State# RealWorld, o #)
  

• Added to GHC.Types:

    data Module = Module TrName TrName
    data Nat
    data Symbol
    data TrName = TrNameS Addr# | TrNameD [Char]
    data TyCon = TyCon Word# Word# Module TrName
