 # Packages
 
-Stack is using the [14.16-lts resolver](https://www.stackage.org/lts-16.25) for packages, so make sure you read the [correct documentation for the packages included in it](https://www.stackage.org/lts-16.25/docs).

 Packages I used a lot:
 
 * [Containers](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers) (and some [better documentation](https://haskell-containers.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html)); [Unordered containers](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/unordered-containers) is a mostly-equivalent alternative.
