Hi all, Due to a number of issues in the 7.0.2 release, we plan to put out a 7.0.3 release before finally retiring the 7.0 branch. We intend to fix: * Doc install location on Windows * Doc building on OS X (#4997) * Object splitting on OS X (with XCode >= 3.2) * Don't require the 10.5 SDK on OS X (should mean GHC works with XCode 4) We will also look into the problems with stripping and libHSghc.a (e.g. the issue building yesod #5004), and the ld warnings on OS X (#4984). We want to keep the changes in this release to a minimum, to minimise the chance of regressions, but if you think we've missed any critical issues please let us know. Thanks Ian

ETA? We may do a minor rev of the HP at that point too, to set us up for 2011.

I installed the released 7.02, but haskell-platform-2011.2.0.0 would not install, with the error that OpenGL-2.2.3.0 (installed with cabal) would not configure for the platform.

Byron- The the latest available version is of OpenGL is 2.4.0.1 so do
a cabal update to get the new package list and then try re-running cabal
install OpenGL

Waiting for the fixed 7.0.3, is there some workaround to make available the compilation on MacOS X with Xcode4 using HP 2011.2.0.0? Thanks. Luca. Luca On Mar 17, 2011, at 3:30 PM, Aaron Culich wrote:
