I'd like to announce the 0.2.* series release of the X Haskell Bindings. This release, like the prior 0.1.* series focuses on making the API prettier. This does mean that there's a good chance this is a breaking release. Also, 0.2.* is based on the just-released version 1.4 of the XML descriptions of the X protocol. The goal of XHB is to provide a Haskell implementation of the X11 wire protocol, similar in spirit to the X protocol C-language Binding (XCB). On Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xhb New this release: In the core protocol, a lot of the fields which previously were of type 'Word8' or 'Word16' now have appropriate higher-level types. For example, in the type GetWindowAttributesReply, the 'class' field was previously of type 'Word16', and is now of type 'WindowClass,' and the 'all_event_masks' field was of type 'Word32' and is now of type '[EventMask]'. These improvements haven't made their way out to the extensions yet, but the code-generation machinery is now in place for this to happen as the information makes its way into the XML protocol description.
