<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>For the sake of the Haskell Platform users, I hope 7.10.2 will include the
following fixes in the accompanying haddock and cabal.
* Support for haddock response files to handle very long command lines (Windows)
* https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/2512
* https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1681
* https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/285
* https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/379
* Correct the cross-package links for all haddock-generated documentation (All)
* https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/385
* https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10206
The shenanigans I did to get the Windows HP built using a hacked up cabal and
haddock were not appropriate for a release (and so I never released my builds
of the HP 2015.2.0.0 on the Windows platform). On top of that, once I finally
got it all to build in this uncomfortable, un-reproducible way (e.g., hacked
PATH to hacked binaries), I noticed all the cross-package and index links in
the docs were wrong, which sealed the deal (as far as I was concerned) to not
release it.
I hope that the solutions to these two issues can be incorporated into 7.10.2,
so that build process for the Windows HP will be worthy and suitable for such
a release, and so that the documentation links will be correct and useful to the
users.
