The darcs team is pleased to announce the release of darcs 2.8.4:

Changes
-------

The main purpose of this release is to add support for GHC 7.6 (it's
been tested with 7.6.1 and 7.6.2).

The new 64 bit version of GHC for Windows is not yet supported; 64 bit
is supported on other platforms as before.

Various dependencies on hackage packages have also been bumped: base,
network, unix, containers, bytestring, tar.

The following problems have also been fixed:

 - Resolved issue2199 <bugs.darcs.net/issue2199> :
   get --tag can include extra patches

 - Removed the --xml-output option to annotate which has been
   non-functional for a while

Downloading
-----------

The easiest way to install darcs 2.8.4 from source is by first
installing the Haskell Platform (www.haskell.org/platform). If
