Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1 now available

We're pleased to announce the 2011.2.0.1 release of the Haskell Platform: a single, standard Haskell distribution for everyone. Download the Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1: http://haskell.org/platform/ This release adds support for GHC 7.0.3, and significant improvements for Mac OS X users. The specification, along with installers (including Windows, Mac 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. This release ships with GHC 7.0.3. What you get is specified here: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/contents.html Thanks! -- The Platform Infrastructure Team P.S. a big thanks to Mark Lentczner and Mikhail Glushenkov who built the Mac and Windows installers!

Enticing! What are these "significant improvements for Mac OS X users"?

Download the Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1:
or use Debian unstable, which ships this version of the platform since five days already: http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/platform.html Ok, two disclaimers: * We are in the middle of the transition to ghc-7, so a considerable number of non-platform-packages are not installable via apt-get at the moment, but of course you can install the using cabal-install. You can monitor the progress on http://pkg-haskell.alioth.debian.org/haskell-pkg-graph.pdf – green is good :-) * We only ship it already because the file on http://code.galois.com/darcs/haskell-platform/haskell-platform.cabal has already changed earlier, which was linked by http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/changelog.html so we thought this is already official and released and we just missed the announcement. Maybe it would be better if released versions get their own, static directory again, as it was the case for http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/2010.1.0.0/haskell-platform.cabal and http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/2010.2.0.0/haskell-platform.cabal and the relationship between the repositories http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ and http://code.galois.com/darcs/haskell-platform/ should be explained on http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/.

Good work! Is the link to Debian on the http://haskell.org/platform homepage correct?

Do you watch the haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org mailing list? There we announced the freeze, and the initial release candidates.

Good idea.

That's just a temporary problem, since code.haskell.org was moved. -- Don

yes, that is an appropriate link.

I was hoping that -cafe is enough, but I guess I don’t get around. Subscribed. Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
