Hi,<br><br>With the patches that have been submitted, the bug list for WinHugs<br>hits 0, see <a href="http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/NeilMitchell_2fHugsNotes">http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/NeilMitchell_2fHugsNotes</a> .</blockquote>

There seem to be two serious known bugs in Hugs on Windows:<br>
<br>
* The wrapper FFI doesn't work. This means that the Win32 library and
the OpenGL library probably don't work (along with any other libraries
that use wrappers). I don't know if it ever worked or not, but based on
&quot;make check&quot; failures, there is something wrong.<br>
<br>
* &quot;interact&quot; and &quot;getChar&quot; don't work in CVS WinHugs, but they worked before (right?). This is a regression.<br>
<br>
&quot;interact&quot; and &quot;getChar&quot; are in the Haskell 98 prelude. I think that
implementing the Haskell 98 standard should always be priority #1.<br>

does it suit to release WinHugs? It needs a bit longer for beta testing
etc, but is a Hugs release being planned soon, or should WinHugs be
released separately? How stable is the Hugs code base, i.e. is it
release worthy?</blockquote><div><br>
I think it would be confusing to users to release WinHugs seperately
from the command line Hugs. Next weekend I will verify that (Win)Hugs
from CVS builds correctly using MS Visual Studio 2003. I would
recommend making a test release soon. That way, people downloading
WinHugs for their Fall semester CS courses can test it out and report
bugs.<br>
