Fellow haskellers:

Haskell-mode 2.6 has been released.

Make that 2.6.1. Naturally, I broke something, but I think I'm about out of things to break now.

As it happens, the haskell-indentation mode (the new one) doesn't like hierarchical modules names. Something like:

 module Foo.Bar (\n

will begin at the beginning of the line, complaining about there being an operator (the '.').

Though you may not have broken it. :) I can't recall if that happened previously or not.

What seems to be going on is that haskell-indentation simply isn't prepared to deal with hierarchical module names at all, or qualified imports. The latter works because it interprets "Foo.bar" as actually using the operator (.), which it considers to be valid syntax. Operators are not valid in module statements, however. I'm going to try teaching it. Hopefully I won't break anything in the process. -- Svein Ove Aas
