On behalf of the Haskell Platform team, I'm happy to announce the release of *Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0* featuring: GHC 7.8.3 53 packages 860+ public modules 4 tools This release features a major upgrade to OpenGL and GLUT. In addition, "behind the scenes", this release of the platform is produced with a new build system, and many improvements to the installations on all three OS families. Get it now: Download Haskell Platform http://www.haskell.org/platform/ — for Windows http://www.haskell.org/platform/windows.html — for Mac OS X http://www.haskell.org/platform/mac.html — for Linux http://www.haskell.org/platform/linux.html (and similar systems) N.B.: You may need to explicitly re-fresh those links when visiting in your browser - those pages tend to get cached for very long periods of time. — Mark "platform wrangler" Lentczner P.S.: I realize this one was a long time a'comin'. I take the responsibility for the decisions that lead up to being this late, including deciding it was worth it to wait for GHC 7.8, and that this was the right time to re-write the platform build system. I hope the speed that we can now turn the platform will be evident in future releases. Haskell Platform is created by a team of many hands. Special call out to Randy Polen for the new Windows build, and Yitzchak Gale and Neil Mitchell for help with the new build system. Thanks also to all the intrepid folks that tried out the early alphas and release candidates. Additional help is always welcome!
