Hi ANNOUNCEMENT: I am hereby announcing System.FilePath 0.11, which hopefully is pretty close to final now. This library manipulates FilePath's correctly on both Posix and Windows. http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/projects/libraries.php#filepath (Includes a darcs repo, a .tar.gz, haddock documentation etc) CHANGES: I made some changes in response to comments by Simon Marlow: Removed addFileName, renamed the path splitting to searchPath, renamed shortPath to makeRelative. I did not follow two of his suggestions: removing isDirectory/asDirectory, removing splitPath. (I note these so it is easy to see which suggestions/point are outstanding easily) I also fixed some of the documentation (thanks to Evan) and added a few more properties. All in all, not much changed. COMPATABILITY: If you import System.FilePath.Version_0_10 then nothing will have changed. If you import System.FilePath.Version_0_11 then you'll get the new version. The original Version_0_09 will also continue to work unmodified. Hopefully no one will have any compatability issues. DISCUSSION: We seem to be getting towards the stage where most people who want a FilePath library in a similar spirit to this are reasonably happy with this one. Unless anyone comes up with anything too big, I'm going to propose this for the base library in a few days. Can everyone with an opinion on that issue please hold off for a few days. Thanks Neil
