New hackage release

[jchia]

It has been a year and many commits since the last release. It would be good for a new release version to be uploaded to Hackage especially now that there is GHC 8.10 and issues like #546 have been fixed.

@domenkozar Somewhat ironically setting up cachix for amazonka/gogol now in an effort to unfuck CI and move from Travis to GH Actions.

Once I actually have CI operational again I'll cut a release - there's still some PR's I'd like to merge first and give my borderline inability to build anything locally I'd like some peace of mind while integrating these, FWIW.

[domenkozar]

That's great to hear - happy to help if needed!

@brendanhay This is exciting news. Anything an internet rando can help with? I speak pretty fluent nix.

Hi @brendanhay - This is great news! How are you going with this?

[RobertFischer]

I'm very willing to help -- I write/integrate/manage GitHub Actions professionally, so I'm happy to bang through those things in order to get a new release. Even just bumping dependencies would be great.

[gwils]

@brendanhay Maybe Robert and/or endgame could help you with this? A new hackage release would be great.

Since stack LTS 17 is based on ghc-8.10.2 (to date) and given the MonadUnliftIO issue (fixed in 43ddd87), it's not trivial to use amazonka, as the base package does not compile (and it is not yet available in stackage).

A new release would be very appreciated!

me2 comments do not help @brendanhay as much. Instead I'd happily sponsor this library. @brendanhay Is there an option to support your work, financially? I can only send small amounts, but if we'd all do this the situation can improve significantly for you.

[RobertFischer]

@brendanhay As I said before, I'm happy to help: just let me know what you need. Like @mbj, I'd pitch you some money for a new release, too.

Can we get an approximate date for a Hackage release? It's been another year.

[emilypi]

Just fork it already. he clearly doesn't have the time to maintain this package.

[mbj]

@emilypi there has been lots of activity in the develop branch. Effectively amazonka-2, improving a lot of the previous state.

[RobertFischer]

But if it's not getting released, who cares how much work is done?

I've been in the position of the author here before, and I do not think any form of pressurement helps him to find the time.

I use git sources for the time being and am not dependent on a release. I recommend to think about the same, and provide feedback.
