windows cabal binaries and upcoming cabal-install release
No binaries were built for the 2.4.0.0 release -- I assume with the upcoming release we'll have proper binaries. Just wanted to drop a note to _highly recommend_ that at least the windows cabal-install binaries in the next release be built with ghc 8.6.2 since I think that changes in the core libs will mean that cabal-install will work better with homedirs with a wider range of characters. Just talked to someone about this five minutes ago, so its fresh in my mind :-) Cheers, Gershom

...actually they were; we're transitioning to move the binary hosting to http://downloads.haskell.org and I failed to setup the HTTP redirects from the old locations to the new locations as e.g. http://downloads.haskell.org/cabal/cabal-install-2.4.0.0/
