Folks

I've finished what I hope is the final version of the Haskell 98 
Language and Library Reports
	http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/haskell98-revised

However, experience shows that bug fixes are often themselves
buggy, so I urge you, once again, to take a look at your favourite
passages and check they are correct.

As ever, there's a complete list of changes at the above URL,
with the ones I've made since the April release identified for your
pleasure.

Comments (hopefully vanishingly few) by 15 June please.

Thanks very much

Simon

Simon,

Sorry to get this comment in so late, but it is a small change.
In the List module, the type signature for deleteBy is not as general
as it could be, given the definition.  It could be generalized to
the following (no change to the definition):

  deleteBy :: (a -> b -> Bool) -> a -> [b] -> [b]

I've found it usefully used at this more general type.

Thanks.

- Mark

haskell98-library-html/index.html still contains the following line:

<title> The Haskell Library Report 1.4 </title>

By my count, it should be ``1.6'' ;-)


Cheers,

Wolfram
