Hi cafe!

We are happy to announce the release of Hcwiid 0.0.5, the Haskell bindings for cwiid, which provide a user-space driver for Nintendo's Wiimotes.

The following new features have been made available recently:

- Infrared support
. This is essential if you want to use the sensor bar to detect what the wiimote is pointing at.

- Accelerometer support
.

- Improved API
. Access to all the key features, new auxiliary functions not present in cwiid, and a higher-level interface via the type system.

- Documentation
. An effort is being made to provide not only haddock documentation, but also several tests that demonstrate the features of this library.

More information (including "What is a wiimote and how can I use it?" and "what can we expect next") can be found here: http://keera.co.uk/blog/2014/05/27/interacting-haskell-games-using-wiimote/

I hope you all enjoy spicing up your applications a little bit with this library.

All the best

Ivan
