2014.2.0.0 alphas

[Mark Lentczner]

The current head of new-build
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/commits/new-build> (commit
c04c17
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/tree/c04c17ea40acf6e70a986e9c9302e58528e3b49d>)
is now "alpha"!

You can find a source tarball, and a built Mac OS X installer here:

haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0-a1.tar.gz
<http://www.ozonehouse.com/mark/platform/haskell-platform-2014.2.0.0-a1.tar.gz>
Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0 64bit a1.signed.pkg
<http://www.ozonehouse.com/mark/platform/Haskell%20Platform%202014.2.0.0%2064bit%20a1.signed.pkg>


For linux you can build from the new-build branch directly (as travis-ci is
doing here <https://travis-ci.org/haskell/haskell-platform>), or (in
theory) build from the source tar ball.

The Mac OS X installer should work on any system 10.7 or later (clang or
gcc!). It includes GHC 7.8.3. If testing Mac OS X, please pay attention to
the output from the first cabal command you run after installation.

I'm only posting this here to the platform team... let's get a little
experience with this before we start the RC cycle.

Known problems:

   - Happy should be bumped to 1.19.4
   - website is still full of old info

- Mark
