[Haskell-cafe] Announce: Haskell Platform 8.6.5

On behalf of the Haskell Platform team, I'm happy to announce the release of Haskell Platform 8.6.5 Now available at https://www.haskell.org/platform/ This includes GHC 8.6.5, cabal-install 2.4.1.0, and stack 1.9.3. It is an incremental release over 8.6.3 intended mainly to make available bugfixes for windows in subsequent revisions in the 8.6 series and otherwise leave everything the same. These windows fixes are important, and it is recommended all windows users upgrade to 8.6.5 whether through the platform installer or some other mechanism. For detail on these changes and fixes see https://www.haskell.org/ghc/blog/20190305-ghc-8.6.4-released.html https://www.haskell.org/ghc/blog/20190423-ghc-8.6.5-released.html As with the 8.6.3 release, we are only providing core builds. Further, in 8.6.3 we moved from generic linux installers to recommending users install ghc through ghcup. As discussed in the last announcement, we have now moved to recommending os x users also use ghcup rather than a dedicated binary installer. For more details, please see the 8.6.3 announcement at https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2018-December/130371.html Happy Haskell Hacking all, Gershom
