1. just using : at the prompt caused a reload. Now you have to type :r.

Interesting, I was not aware of that behaviour, so probably fixed it by accident :)

Yeah, Igloo said the same thing. Everyone I talked to about the feature didn't know about it until I pointed it out. If it was an accident, it was still a really useful feature and would love to have it back.

2. reload now reloads all modules rather than just the modules that changed (faster but not as fast as not reloading them at all).

That is certainly not intentional, and I don't see that behaviour here. Can you give us code and steps to reproduce?

$ darcs get http://happs.org/HAppS-Begin $ cd HAppS-Begin $ curl http://searchpath.org/searchpath/SearchPath.hs > SearchPath.hs $ ghc --make SearchPath.hs -o sp $ sp ghci -ihaskell haskell/Main.hs Prelude> :r Also, HAppS.Server.Facebook takes forever to compile. I don't understand why. -Alex-

I don't see any unnecessary reloading here: Ok, modules loaded: [snip]. *Main> :r Ok, modules loaded: [snip]. Tried this on both x86_64/Linux (Fedora 6) and x86/Linux (RedHat 7). Any idea what might be different about your setup?

That module did take about 15 seconds to load up in GHCi. It looks like it contains quite a few datatypes and a lot of derived instances (derived using TH), so my guess is it's just large. Does it take significantly longer to compile with 6.8.1, or has it always been slow? Cheers, Simon

It reloads all modules after an error has occurred.

Wow! You're right. Thanks for the tip, I'm investigating. Simon
