Announcing MissingH 0.10.0 New feature summary: * Compatibility with Hugs 2005xx and GHC 6.4. Compatibility with GHC 6.2 has been retained. Compatibility with Hugs 2003xx is mostly retained but not completely possible. * Tighter integration with Cabal. * Better installation instructions. * New parser for debian/control files and similar Debian commands (does not require Debian to build/run) * New parser for CSV files * New utility for Maybe type * New binary I/O utilities (readBinaryFile, writeBinaryFile) * Powerful new list mainpulation functions: wholeMap, fixedWidth * New function: epochToClockTime ------------------------- What is MissingH? ------------------------- It's a collection of Haskell-related utilities. It is an extension of my earlier work developing MissingLib for OCaml. You can download MissingH from http://quux.org/devel/missingh. There is a mirror, with a few days' lag, at http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/missingh. ------------------------- Major Features ------------------------- * Powerful Logging Framework for Haskell This framework provides a system of hierarchical loggers and modular handlers permitting fine-grained logging with a great deal of control and yet a simple and fast interface. It's based on log4j for Java and logging for Python. Also included is a native-Haskell Syslog client. * Versatile modules to simplify everyday tasks: + FTP client library + E-mail client library + MIME types library to determine MIME types from files or URLs + Configuration file parser/generator * IO utilities make it easier to work with line-based text files and binary files * IO object virtualization so you can use one set of code to work on files of many different types * Filesystem virtualization so you can access variuos items with the same ease as your system's filesystem * Network utilities to streamline connections * List utilities including association list tools, list splitting, truncation, and delimiter joining * String utilities including removal of leading or trailing whitespace, joining, splitting, and truncation * Other utilities for threads, parers, filenames, etc. * Printf utilities for formatting strings * GZip decompression * Hundreds of unit tests to verify proper functionality * DBM module abstraction
