We're pleased to announce the next release of Haskell Platform: a single, standard Haskell distribution for everyone. Download Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0: http://haskell.org/platform/ The specification, along with installers (including Windows, Macintosh, and Unix installers for a full Haskell environment) are available. Notable version changes with this release: ghc 7.4.1 cabal 1.14 & cabal-install 0.14 mtl 2.1.1 & transformers 0.3.0.0 alex 3.0.1 full package and version list: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/changelog.html Thanks to: Joachim Breitner, George Colpitts, Duncan Coutts, Jason Dagit, Chris Dornan, Yitzchak Gale, Mikhail Glushenkov, Andres Löh, Gábor Páli, Jens Petersen, Don Stewart, David Terei, Johan Tibell, & Mark Wright for their efforts and help in putting together this release. -- The Platform Infrastructure Team Mark Lentczner, release manager --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Awesome! Congratulations! Download Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0:
It's a relatively minor thing, but I noticed that the above URL redirects to http://hackage.haskell.org/platform// which is incidentally considered a different URL from http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ by Google's +1 service. Perhaps not surprisingly, http://haskell.org/platform redirects to the latter, single-/ Hackage URL. Regards, Sean
Congratulations on the release! Thank you for all the hard work and great to see it come out in this timely manner. :-)

I can reproduce this with Chrome, but not Firefox. Equally surprising to me is that the number of slashes also seems to affect the CSS presentation of the website in Chrome. // seems to give the Summer theme, whereas / gives the Winter one! Kind of weird. Anyway I agree it would be better to avoid the superfluous slashes if possible. I am going build HP 2012.2 for Fedora 18 soon but the first proper build may be after ghc-7.4.2 is released. Jens
(Sorry, I only meant to post to the platform list.)

I better take this part back: it may well have been some browser caching issue. :-| (Thanks, Arlen.) After some Ctrl-Shift-R's I can't reproduce any more, so please ignore this bit.

The link to the cabal file in the changelog points to github.com, while the previous version was (a darcs repository) on code.haskell.org. Is there any chance to either also update the latter, too? Or just to remove it and decide on where the official haskell-platform.cabal file will reside in the future? Ciao, Kili
