We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of wxHaskell 0.10.3. This is the first update with binary packages available since June 2005, and is the result of a great deal of work by a new team of contributors. We are hoping to make a full release shortly, and issues and bug reports either through the wxHaskell user mailing list (wxhaskell-users@sourceforge.net) or via the Sourceforge bug tracker (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=73133&atid=536845).
