like to repeat one request: Please, please, please make it easier to - Download older versions of HP. - Find out which HP release contains what. - Figure out what the difference between release X and release Y is.
+1 I'd consider this mandatory. It's amazing how many projects apparently *don't*.
We can certainly continue to link to old versions, to the old contents.html and the changelogs, as is currently planned.
And unlike previous releases, this one seems to have a changelog. (It's nontrivial comparing two Cabal files trying to figure out what changed!)
Actually, it just got trivial: $ diffcabal old-platform.cabal haskell-platform.cabal Cabal 1.8.0.2 -> 1.8.0.6 QuickCheck 2.1.0.3 -> 2.1.1.1 alex 2.3.2 -> 2.3.3 array 0.3.0.0 -> 0.3.0.1 base 4.2.0.0 -> 4.2.0.2 bytestring 0.9.1.5 -> 0.9.1.7 cabal-install 0.8.0 -> 0.8.2 cgi 3001.1.7.2 -> 3001.1.7.3 directory 1.0.1.0 -> 1.0.1.1 extensible-exceptions Added: 0.1.1.1 fgl 5.4.2.2 -> 5.4.2.3 filepath 1.1.0.3 -> 1.1.0.4 ghc 6.12.1 -> 6.12.3 happy 1.18.4 -> 1.18.5 hpc 0.5.0.4 -> 0.5.0.5 old-time 1.0.0.3 -> 1.0.0.5 process 1.0.1.2 -> 1.0.1.3 regex-base 0.93.1 -> 0.93.2 regex-compat 0.92 -> 0.93.1 regex-posix 0.94.1 -> 0.94.2 stm 2.1.1.2 -> 2.1.2.1 template-haskell 2.4.0.0 -> 2.4.0.1 unix 2.4.0.0 -> 2.4.0.2
