There is some pretty cool stuff in there for a point release. It's cool that monad comprehensions are back in, but I'm most excited about Safe Haskell, which should enable enable some new types of application (safely running untrusted code).

As I keep telling people, 'Safe Haskell' is not as generally useful as they think it is. Mueval (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/mueval) has to do a lot more than just be careful with its imports before it can safely run arbitrary untrusted code.
