So - I hear from a bird that 7.10.2 might be just around the corner. I'm getting ahead of the curve!

I just did a fully hermetic and clean build of head of GHC 7.10 branch (what should become 7.10.2), and then brought HP up-to-date:

bootstrapped with 7.10.1 (so hptool needed fixes to build with that)
uses latest shake
built on a clean Debian Wheezy (7) install, (hence uses glibc 2.13 and should also run on Ubuntu 12.04 and later)

The package versions are updated as follows:

Cabal 1.22.2.0 --> 1.22.3.0
cabal-install 1.22.2.0 --> 1.22.4.0

attoparsec 0.12.1.4 --> 0.13.0.0
syb 0.4.4 --> 0.5.1
text 1.2.0.4 --> 1.2.1.1

cgi 3001.2.2.1 --> 3001.2.2.2
network 2.6.0.2 --> 2.6.2.0
network-uri 2.6.0.1 --> 2.6.0.3

QuickCheck 2.8 --> 2.8.1
hscolour 1.22 --> 1.23

GLUT 2.7.0.0 --> 2.7.0.1
GLURaw 1.5.0.0 --> 1.5.0.1
OpenGL 2.12.0.0 --> 2.12.0.1
OpenGLRaw 2.4.1.0 --> 2.5.0.0

Only package issue was:

zlib 0.5.4.2
-- held back because cabal-install needs < 0.6

All the same caveats and notes from Alpha 2 still apply.

All these changes are in the pre-release-2 branch on github -- I'll merge it all together later this week.

There is a hp-bindist-tarball on my server:

haskell-platform-7.10.1.20150528-x86_64-unknown-linux-deb7.tar.gz
SHA-256: b503c9e2c34c0865b5fee39444027667bb39b786fa7664029287e3bbf33379da

I'll build and put up OS X version in a day or two.

One last thing... I'm proposing that we name this release: Haskell Platform 7.10.2 !
