Hi all, Thanks for responding to my question about what we should do for this next release. So the plan is a major release using ghc-7.0.4 and bumping all the packages to the latest versions (where possible).
So I've updated the haskell-platform.cabal file based on what looks like the latest sensible versions. I've moved the darcs repo back to: http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ Here are the version changes: ghc 7.0.3 --> 7.0.4 fgl 5.4.2.3 --> 5.4.2.4 HUnit 1.2.2.3 --> 1.2.4.2 network 2.3.0.2 --> 2.3.0.5 QuickCheck 2.4.0.1 --> 2.4.1.1 regex-compat 0.93.1 --> 0.95.1 regex-posix 0.94.4 --> 0.95.1 syb 0.3 --> 0.3.3 xhtml 3000.2.0.1 --> 3000.2.0.4 HTTP 4000.1.1 --> 4000.1.2 text 0.11.0.6 --> 0.11.1.5 Some packages are not updated to their latest hackage versions: * cgi: latest versions depend on MonadCatchIO-mtl which is not in the platform. * OpenGL, GLUT: later versions depend on ObjectName, StateVar, Tensor which are not in the platform. * deepseq: latest version of parallel requires a slightly older version of deepseq * alex: latest alex is the very new version 3 which makes new assumption that everything is utf8. I don't think things have been tested with this yet and some things are bound to break. Obviously there are also all the core packages. We have to stick with the versions of the core packages that come with ghc 7.0.4, e.g. Cabal. (That said, I could release a newer cabal-install that builds against the version of Cabal that comes with 7.0.4.) Comments?
