Make 13.6 release

[chrisdone]

Two things to do:

• Establish which features and bugfixes will make it into 13.6.
• Make release on June 1st.
• Move any big changes/features over to 13.7.

All issues should be marked with:

• P1: Must have it in for this release.
• P2: Should have it in for this release, but no big deal if not.
• P3: Optionally in this release, otherwise next one.

Release will be tagged 13.6, which will make a Github tarball, and will be announced to the haskellmode-emacs mailing list. Maintainers of distributions/package managers can follow this monthly release cycle.

Release note: #150 removes the haskell-site-file.el, so distributions should provide the make'd .el/.elc file.

[chrisdone]

All P1's done, release on target looks likely.

Yey! :-)

btw, as the version is now inferred via git describe and since we seem to be jumping from the previous 2.9.1 version to 13.6, maybe we could use a tagging scheme, which is easy to match with git describe's --match option (which supports only glob-patterns), a commonly used pattern would be --match v[0-9]*.

Alternatively, 'annotated tags' could be used to differentiate between versioning tags an non-versioning tags, which could then also carry release notes (which can then be collected/aggregated automatically into an autogenerated NEWS file)

There are a few ways how to use git to automate releases, we just need to agree on which scheme to follow...

[chrisdone]

Let's bump the tag to v13.06?

[hvr]

Great, I just need to adapt the Makefile before the actual tagging is done (btw, when are you planning to tag v13.06?)

[chrisdone]

As soon as you're ready! I've done the P1 issues for this milestone. Let me know when you're happy to go.

[hvr]

@chrisdone I'm happy to go... git tag v13.06 away... ;-)

[chrisdone]

Hurrah!

Will send out an announcement to haskellmode-emacs later.
