Hi all, I've uploaded the 2009.2.1 release candidate installer to
http://code.haskell.org/~refold/HaskellPlatform-2009.2.1-rc1-setup.exe Unless someone finds serious bugs in this RC, it can be released unchanged. What's new in 2009.2.1-rc1: * The platform installer is now relocatable (all libraries are installed into a single directory, and referred to via '$topdir' in package.conf). * The default install directory no longer contains spaces (it was changed to $SYSTEMDRIVE\HaskellPlatform\$PLATFORM_VERSION). Known issues: * The network and time libraries shipped with GHC 6.10.3 were replaced with versions specified in the 'haskell-platform.cabal' file (2.2.1.1 and 1.1.2.4 instead of 2.2.1 and 1.1.3, respectively). * The issue of upgrading wasn't given much thought, so you're advised to delete the previous Haskell Platform installation before using this installer. OTOH, our behaviour is no worse than that of the existing GHC installer. * The installer may work with restricted user accounts, but it has not been tested and is not officially supported. The "just unpack" option should work, however, since it doesn't do anything fancy. * glut32.dll is not included, though it probably should be.
