ANNOUNCE: Haskell Platform 2010.2.0.0

We're pleased to announce the fifth release of the Haskell Platform: a single, standard Haskell distribution for everyone. Download the Haskell Platform 2010.2.0.0: http://hackage.haskell.org.nyud.net/platform/ (Caching server). The specification, along with installers (including Windows, Apple and Unix installers for a full Haskell environment) are available. The Haskell Platform is a single, standard Haskell distribution for every system, in the form of a blessed library and tool suite for Haskell distilled from the thousands of libraries on Hackage, along with installers for a wide variety of systems. It saves developers work picking and choosing the best Haskell libraries and tools to use for a task. When you install the Haskell Platform, you get the latest stable compiler, an expanded set of core libraries, additional development tools, and cabal-install – so you can download anything else you need from Hackage. What you get is specified here: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/contents.html Thanks! -- The Platform Infrastructure Team

Some nits, if I may pick (http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/contents.html): Under GHC: s/optimzing/optimizing Under Alex: Sentence should end with a period. Under hsc2hs: There shouldn't be a comma. Under haskell code coverage: Testsuite should probably be two words: "test suite".

Because someone somewhere has used the nyud.net distribution service to distribute malware. Since it's a free service, it's pretty much guaranteed that it will have been abused at some point. You can get the same warnings about tinyurl.com, for example, because people have used tinyurl.com to direct traffic to malicious web sites. -Steve

We're using the Coral Cache caching server, which I guess confuses silly software.

Ah, right. So "confirmed attack site" actually means "it could plausibly be an attack site and we can't be bothered to actually check properly"? Good to know my employers dollers are being well-spent. :-)

Just out of curiosity, is the MacPorts version of the Haskell Platform compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard on the PowerPC architecture (as opposed to the Intel one)? -- Benjamin L.
