As far as I know, there are plans to release Haskell Platform shortly (no more than a few weeks) after GHC v7.8.3 is released. GHC v7.8.2 has a few showstopper bugs for some use cases that made it unsuitable for a platform release. The infrastructure for maintaining Haskell Platform was all rewritten since the last release with the goal that it should be much easier to keep it on schedule in the future. Alpha builds should be available very shortly after GHC v7.8.3 is released.

The Haskell Platform wiki page says the platform follows a 6-month
release schedule, yet the last release occurred more than one year
ago, and I couldn't find information about future plans.

Are there plans to update the platform with ghc 7.8.2?

Thanks,
Dominick
