Hi Windows Task Force, Rather than pointing to just the latest 7.10.1 release, please consider having 7.10.1 and 7.8.4 links (and others if you wish). Haskell LTS 2.3 is designed for GHC-7.8.4. It seems to me that many Windows users would find that an attractive combination in addition to 7.10.1.

The MinGHC alternative has a link to MinGHC- | 7.8.3 installer. Should this be updated to MinGHC-7.8.4? I ask this | because Long Term Support Haskell 2.3 is now using GHC 7.8.4. If you want | to update the link, you only need to change the URL from 7.8.3 to 7.8.4. | | Howard | _______________________________________________ | Haskell mailing list | hask...@haskell.org | http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
