It would be convenient to have a page which would list all the HP packages with their versions. The release page [2] only has a list of packages whose versions has changed since the last release, as I understood.
It would be nice to have a page that lists everything included in every HP release, together with their version numbers. (So that, e.g., I can see at a glance what version of GHC, Haddock or cabal-install is in HP-2009.1.0.0.) All this information must exist somewhere, it's just not easily viewable on the web.
Yes, I needed the same information recently. I ended up reading the Cabal file at [1]. A convenient way to see what packages are included in what version of the platform would still be very useful, though. Cheers, Simon [1] http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/haskell-platform.cabal
