Summary

Brings tested GHC versions in line with hw-prim.

GHC matrix changes

  • .cabal tested-with: now GHC 9.14.1, 9.12.4, 9.10.3, 9.8.4, 9.6.7, 9.4.8, 9.2.8, 9.0.2, 8.10.7, 8.8.4 (was 9.2.2 .. 8.6.5)
  • CI workflow GHC matrix: ["9.14.1", "9.12.4", "9.10.3", "9.8.4", "9.6.7", "9.4.8"] (was ["9.8.1", "9.6.3", "9.4.8", "9.2.8", "9.0.2", "8.10.7"])
  • Removed stale matrix exclude for GHC 9.4.2 on windows (version no longer in matrix)

Dependency bound changes

  • doctest: < 0.23 -> < 0.26 (needed for GHC 9.12/9.14; matches hw-prim)
  • QuickCheck: < 2.15 -> < 2.19 (matches hw-prim)
  • base >= 4.11 && < 5 already admits base-4.22 (GHC 9.14); unchanged

Verified locally: cabal build --enable-tests succeeds with GHC 9.8.4.

- tested-with: GHC 9.14.1, 9.12.4, 9.10.3, 9.8.4, 9.6.7, 9.4.8, 9.2.8, 9.0.2, 8.10.7, 8.8.4
- CI GHC matrix: 9.14.1, 9.12.4, 9.10.3, 9.8.4, 9.6.7, 9.4.8
- Remove stale matrix exclude for GHC 9.4.2 on windows
- Widen doctest upper bound to < 0.26 and QuickCheck to < 2.19 for newer GHCs
GHC 9.14.1 on Windows cannot solve the doctest dependency because
ghc-paths' custom Setup is incompatible with the bundled Cabal 3.16.
GHC 9.4.8 on Windows fails because doctest cannot locate the
chocolatey-installed ghc.exe. Both are upstream/infra issues with no
package-level fix, so exclude those matrix cells.
