If you are an HP user because you want stability, then the wait for ghc-7.6 was just long enough: There was a critical bug fixed in 7.6.3 which was released just in time for this HP release!

We do not release HP for every GHC update for two reasons: 1) Most GHC updates are not in the stability category that HP strives for, 2) Often new GHCs require minor updates to other packages in the HP. The revving of the whole kaboodle more than twice a year is far too much work than the small volunteer group can handle!


See my talk at the Haskell Implementors Workshop this past Fall for a longer list of what we need in the platform.

I use Leksah for larger projects. I use just my favorite text editor (Sublime Text 2) and cabal/ghc/ghci in a shell window for smaller.


Because Apple's installer framework has the option to open a document after installation is complete: We have it open the start.html page. Alas, Apple's framework always opens web pages with Safari, no matter what the user has set as their default browser. I don't know why, since it is just the standard "open" action - suspect it has to do with the Installer running as root. If anyone knows a work around, I'm all ears!


Maybe you could ask the user if it's okay to open the page after the installation.


If you mean the Haskell Platform site, try refreshing in your browser.
