I am very pleased to announce the 0.2 release of the diagrams package, an embedded domain-specific language for creating simple graphics in a compositional style. This release includes a number of significant new features, including: * support for arbitrary straight and curved paths * more shape primitives, including polygons and rounded rectangles * support for rendering text * PNG, PDF, PS, and SVG output * built-in color support replaced with external dependence on the feature-rich colour library and many more! More information, examples, and installation instructions can be found at http://code.haskell.org/diagrams. More features are planned for future releases, so contributions and suggestions are welcome. (Please note: since diagrams depends on the Cairo library, which has unfortunately not been Cabalized, you cannot install the diagrams library with cabal-install, unless you already have the cairo package installed. See the above website for instructions.) A special thanks to Dougal Stanton for his contributions to the library and help in preparing this release. -Brent
