Hi all, I've uploaded the release candidate Windows installer to
http://code.haskell.org/~refold/HaskellPlatform-2009.2.0-rc1-setup.exe Unless someone finds serious bugs in this RC, this version will be released on Monday unchanged. What's new in 2009.2.0-rc1: * We now use a single root directory for both GHC and extralibs ($PROGRAMFILES\Haskell Platform\$HP_VERSION). * Installed files are tracked precisely (no unsafe `rm -rf` business). * A new installation mode which doesn't touch the system settings or registry was introduced. Suggested by Claus Reinke. * Installer size was cut down by 50% by turning on 7z compression (thanks to Bulat Ziganshin for the heads-up). * The welcome screen is now slightly less dull. Known issues: * The installer may work with restricted user accounts, but it has not been tested and is not officially supported. The "minimal install" option (just unpack the files) will most probably work, since it doesn't do anything fancy. * glut32.dll is not included, though it probably should be. Enjoy! _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
