Yes, I needed the same information recently. I ended up reading the Cabal file at [1]. A convenient way to see what packages are included in what version of the platform would still be very useful, though.

[Haskell-cafe] Parsec in Haskell platform
Since Parsec 2 and Parsec 3 are usually considered to be different packages, it's ambiguous to say that 'parsec' is included in Haskell Platform [1]. Could someone please: 1. Clarify which version(s) are included? 2. Fix the page [1] It would be convenient to have a page which would list all the HP packages with their versions. The release page [2] only has a list of packages whose versions has changed since the last release, as I understood.
