Hi, I found Alejandro's blog post: http://serras-haskell-gsoc.blogspot.jp/2014/08/summer-of-code-on-emacs.html --Kazu
Hi cafe,
We are happy to announce that ghc-mod v5.0.0 has been released. Highlights of this version is as follows:
- ghc-mod v4.x.y is suffering from the space leak of GHC 7.8.x(*1). So, ghc-modi consumes huge memory. ghc-modi v5.0.0 consumes much less memory thanks to workaround.
- Alejandro Serrano merges his results of Google Summer of Code. He implements case splitting and sophisticated type hole handling. I believe that he will write an article on his results but I also updated the manual of Emacs fronted. (*2)
- Daniel Gröber brushed up the internal code by bringing the GhcMod monad. So, the API of ghc-mod drastically changed. If you are users of the ghc-mod library, you should check its document.
The main purpose of this release is to show the results of GSoC to everyone. This is a snapshot release and its API would change in the future.
I thank two guys above since they worked hard and did good jobs. We hope that everyone enjoys v5.0.0.
