- TODO FIXME.
+- A bug in the :ghc-flag:`-XApplicativeDo` extension resulting in strict pattern
+ matches to be performed lazily (:ghc-ticket:`13875`) has been fixed. Note that
+ this means some programs which previously typechecked under ``ApplicativeDo``
+ will no longer as it is not possible to implement strict pattern matching
+ using only ``Applicative``.
+
- Old profiling flags ``-auto-all``, ``-auto``, and ``-caf-all`` are deprecated
and their usage provokes a compile-time warning.
