[Haskell-cafe] Announce: Haskell Platform 8.4.3

[Gershom B]

As  a brief followup, new 8.4.3 installers for windows have been
released (both core and full), which resolve a few issues brought
about by the switch to automatic modification of "extra-prog-path" and
related, and the corresponding hashes have been updated.

Best,
Gershom
