Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 Windows installer RC2
Hi all, I've uploaded the second RC of the Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 Windows installer to http://code.haskell.org/~refold/HaskellPlatform-2010.1.0.0-setup.exe Unless someone finds serious bugs in this RC, it can be released unchanged. What's new in 2010-1.0.0-rc2: * $INSTDIR/mingw/bin is now added to PATH (#114) * cabal-install version updated to 0.8.1 * regex-posix now works (thanks to Simon Marlow!) * WinGHCi version updated to 1.0.5 * Profiling versions of all libraries are now included (#87) -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
Great work. If we don't hear any complaints in the next few days, I'll move this to the main site. -- Don the.dead.shall.rise:

That probably isn't a good idea - the version of mingw we ship with GHC isn't intended for general use, it's for use internally by GHC only. By adding that directory to the PATH you override any other mingw or cygwin that the user might have in their PATH. Cheers, Simon

This is a temporary measure to work around a bug in Cabal [1]. This won't be needed with GHC 6.12.2.

Actually no, $INSTDIR/mingw/bin is *appended* to PATH, so the previously installed version of mingw will take precedence. [1] http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/114 -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
