Green Card 3.01 A Foreign Function Interface Preprocessor for Haskell In preparation for a major release of Green Card, we are making an alpha release for folk to play with. This release fixes a bunch of little details that people commented on in the 3.00 release. We welcome bug reports, comments on how the system is packaged, the web page, examples, comments from those who build binary and source packages, etc. and especially welcome comments accompanied by patches or cvs commit messages. This is a major release of Green Card, a foreign function interface pre-processor for Haskell. GreenCard 3.01 has been updated to work with Haskell compilers that support the foreign function interface and hierarchial libraries. The major changes from the 2.x series of GreenCard are: - Support for hierarchial module names. - The StdDIS module has been renamed Foreign.GreenCard. - Support for all the types provided by the FFI specification. - Removed deprecated types like Addr: use the Ptr type provided by the FFI specification. - The Hugs and NHC-specific backends has been removed since FFI support renders it irrelevant. Pointers to downloadable distributions, documentation etc. is available via the Green Card home page: http://www.haskell.org/greencard/ Please send any bug reports or suggestions for improvements to alastair at reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk. Enjoy! -- Alastair Reid http://www.reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk/
