Hi Howard,
Ah, I was under the impression that there would be a download link from the LTS section on the download page.
Since there isn’t one I have updated the pull request with a section for Haskell LTS which provides links to 7.8.4.
It will look like https://github.com/Mistuke/hl/blob/update-windows-download-pages/static/mark...
Regards,
Tamar

Hi Windows Task Force,
Rather than pointing to just the latest 7.10.1 release, please consider having 7.10.1 and 7.8.4 links (and others if you wish). Haskell LTS 2.3 is designed for GHC-7.8.4. It seems to me that many Windows users would find that an attractive combination in addition to 7.10.1.
Howard

Fwding to the GHC Windows Task force, who will doubtless know what to do.

| Hi,
|
| Currently, the Haskell website's Windows download page
| (https://www.haskell.org/downloads/windows) offers two alternatives,
| MinGHC and Haskell Platform. The MinGHC alternative has a link to MinGHC-
| 7.8.3 installer. Should this be updated to MinGHC-7.8.4? I ask this
| because Long Term Support Haskell 2.3 is now using GHC 7.8.4. If you want
| to update the link, you only need to change the URL from 7.8.3 to 7.8.4.
