The base package contains the Prelude and its support libraries, and a large collection of useful libraries ranging from data structures to parsing combinators and debugging utilities. It is specific to the GHC implementation of Haskell.

This package includes the following:

and many others.

Versions

The base package is shipped alongside the GHC compiler itself, but version numbers for the base package do not match the GHC version number. Here is a table indicating which base package versions ship with which GHC.

Data is taken from GHC release notes, and, since base 4.7.0.0, the changelog.md file in the base package's source code. Only GHC versions in which the base package's version number was bumped are listed here.

A more reliable source for this information is https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/libraries/version-history. The below is retained because it goes back further in history.
