What's new in Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0
Aug 11, 2014
- Works on 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, and even 10.10 beta!
- Works with both gcc and clang based systems.
- Distributed with a build of GHC 7.8.3 that differs from the released bindist in two ways: a) it was built split-objs for smaller resulting executables, b) it includes Cabal-1.18.1.4 which fixes a particularly nasty problem with haddock, -XCPP, and clang based systems. This ghc-7.8.3 bindist is already incorporated into the installer above, but for reference is available here: ghc-7.8.3-x86_64-apple-darwin-r3.tar.bz2
- Includes a new experimental activate-hs command that can switch between multiple installed versions of the platform
- The cabal command is wrapped to provide a smoother file layout on the Mac. The wrapping only updates the ~/.cabal/config file the first time you run it. Please pay attention to its output. If you have a custom config file, you'll want to update it, as Cabal's defaults have changed.
