Announcement: wxHaskell version 0.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net> The main addition of this new release is extensive support for ODBC database access. This is currently only tested on windows and not yet supported on MacOS X. Further additions: many GUI improvements for MacOS X, resize issues have been fixed, new functionality to manipulate pixel buffers, and support for OpenGL windows (untested yet with HOpenGL... we are looking for volunteers :-). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 wxWindows -- 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 supports about 85% of the wxWindows functionality -- 2878 methods in 513 classes with 1347 constant definitions. wxHaskell has been build with GHC 6.01 on Windows, MacOS X and Unix systems with GTK. A binary distribution is available for Windows 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>. All the best, dr. :-) Daan Leijen.
