The newest version of network definitely needs to go in, as it fixes a serious bug in getAddrInfo on OS X.
Already in. http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/39 I think it is interesting that the platform is emerging as a "customer" for bug fixes to hackage libs. Yay. -- Don

Nice. It looks like there's an unrelated Windows bug in the network package, which I'll try to repro and fix tomorrow.

Already done. http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/39 It's not controversial because it does not change API at all, going from 2.2.1 to 2.2.1.1. Duncan
