http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/
http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell98
http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010

Where the onlinereport/index.html says something like:

Latest version:

If it's for historical reasons - because books etc. use this URL for the
98 standard, then I'd highly recommend making a new directory called
currentreport or something (if there isn't one already).

[Haskell-cafe] Current Haskell report URL

2011-11-23 Thread Tom Murphy
 Is there a reason that the Haskell 2010 report is in a subdirectory of
haskell.org/onlinereport (which currently points to the Haskell98 standard)?

http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/   -- Haskell98
http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/   -- Haskell2010

If it's for historical reasons - because books etc. use this URL for the 98
standard, then I'd highly recommend making a new directory called
currentreport or something (if there isn't one already).

The current impression that we give is that Haskell98 is the current
standard, and Haskell2010 isn't compiler-supported.

 Indeed, but yesterday there was a post on beginners where the OP said they
didn't want to use extensions, just plain Haskell98. I thought, shouldn't
that be Haskel2010?
