Announcement: wxHaskell version 0.9.4, update 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net> This is a bugfix release of wxHaskell version 0.9.4 for Windows platforms with GHC 6.4. The interpreter GHCi 6.4 now works with wxHaskell without problems. Thanks to Sigbjorn Finne for fixing this bug. As always, first uninstall before re-installing: - click on "wxhaskell-0.9.4\bin\wxhaskell-unregister.bat" - remove the "wxhaskell-0.9.4" directory - unzip the new release - click on "wxhaskell-0.9.4\bin\wxhaskell-register.bat" Have fun, Daan Leijen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wxHaskell is a portable GUI library for Haskell. The goal of the project is to provide an industrial strength portable GUI library, but without the burden of developing (and maintaining) one ourselves. wxHaskell is therefore build on top of wxWidgets -- a comprehensive C++ library that is portable across all major GUI platforms; including GTK, Windows, X11, and MacOS X. Furthermore, it is a mature library (in development since 1992) that supports a wide range of widgets with native look-and-feel, and it has a very active community (ranked among the top 25 most active projects on sourceforge). Since most of the interface is automatically generated from the wxEiffel binding, the current release of wxHaskell already supports about 75% of the wxWindows functionality -- about 2900 methods in 500 classes with 1400 constant definitions. wxHaskell has been build with GHC 6.x on Windows, MacOS X and Unix systems with GTK. A binary distribution is available for Windows, Linux (RPM) and MacOS X. And even if you don't intend to write GUI's yourself, it will be fun to check out the screenshots at <http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net>. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 0.9.4-1 ------------- Bugfixes: - Compile the wx library with -fvia-C. This prevents crashes in GHCi-6.4.(Fix is found by Sigbjorn Finne) Version 0.9.4 ------------- Backward compatible additions: - Adapted the configuration, make files, and install scripts to work with GHC 6.4. - Adapted the wxHaskell C-layer to work with wxWidgets 2.6.0 - Made "Object" an instance of Ord Version 0.9 ------------- Non backward compatible changes: - Changed "image" attribute to "picture" Backward compatible additions: - Added Multiple OpenGL Canvas example and fixed old example. - Much improved process support in WXCore.Process. Use "processExecAsyncTimed" instead of "processExecASync". - Full printing support in WXCore.Print - Added SpintControl events. - Fixed bug in MultiListBoxes where selections would only be added. - Added "pixelBufferGetPixels" and "pixelBufferSetPixels" and according functions for images. - Added "image" and made it an instance of the "Sized" class exported "imageCreateFromPixels" and "imageCreateFromPixelArray" - Added "drawImage" - Removed dependency on "readline" package in ghc 6.2.2 - Added "--cache" argument to configure script Bug fixes: - fixed "on command" event handlers in submenus.
