Hi! the URL https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/index.html seems to still point to the GHC 8.8.3 documentation. All the best, Wolfgang

Even worse: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base has only documentation for base up to 8.6.x (from Sep 2018, 2 major releases behind), which makes a devastating first impression for newcomers and/or people I'm trying to convince about Haskell. :-(

Indeed, this is a sad state of affairs. I wish I had some magic solution here but sadly there is real work that needs to happen [1] to fix this. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://github.com/haskell/hackage-server/issues/852
