I'm confused. Their site says GHC 7.01 was released in November 2010. This release is 7.02.

- dons 16y ago7.0.1 was the release candidate for 7.0.2 (stable).
- koenigdavidmj 16y agoSounds like they learned their release numbering skills from the KDE folks.
- rtaycher 16y agoI'm not sure if they do it but many projects use odd=unstable,even=stable version schemes including GNOME.
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoYes, but that's usually in the second digit (e.g. 2.4 is stable, 2.5 is development) - switching from unstable to stable in a nominal patch release (third digit) is at least uncommon.
- batterseapower 16y agoYes, the title is confusing. GHC 7.02 is significant because it will be included in the next Haskell Platform release -- GHC 7.01 was only available separately, and was not much installed. GHC 7.01 was also a time of upheaval in the code base, with an almost total rewrite of the type checker. This was a bit buggy at first, but early experience with 7.01 means that it is much more polished in 7.02. The full changelist from 7.0.1 is modest and available at http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0.2/html/users_guide/release-7-0-2.html http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0.2/html/users_guide/relea...
