Release timetable

The Haskell Platform follows a release process tied to GHC releases. Minor releases, with bug fixes, occur between these major dates. Learn about how the version numbers work.

The canonical source for past releases is now the platform website itself and the trace of information in the Releases.hs files that generate it. The remainder of this page is preserved for archival puproses.
