[Haskell-cafe] Announce: Haskell Platform 8.2.1

[Hong Yang]

Putting it at the top so people do not miss it. Wish it goes like a dream!

(Note -- one feature we still have not implemented yet for the platform but
would like to is a generic linux installer that allows one to set a
custom location and does not require root. Anyone who would like to
volunteer to help with this, please get in touch!)
