I'm pleased to announce the release 1.5.1 of the Haskell "plugins" library, $ cabal install plugins The "plugins" library provides a comprehensive API for: * dynamic loading and linking native Haskell modules * runtime compilation and meta-programming in Haskell * runtime hotswapping of Haskell code In short, it provides a framework for dynamic extension of Haskell programs [1]. This release is due to great work by Manuel Chakravarty, who cleaned up much of the code and helped migrate it from GHC 6.8 to 6.12. -- Don 1. The approach to dynamic extension developed in the library is described in: * Plugging Haskell In. André Pang, Don Stewart, Sean Seefried, and Manuel M. T. Chakravarty.
