Announcing buddha version 1.2 ----------------------------- www.cs.mu.oz.au/~bjpop/buddha New in this release: - a completely new transformation algorithm - colour output - "dot" graphs of the call-graph and of values (shows sharing) (i.e. pretty pictures) - improved call-graph browsing - the command line is based on readline which provides nice editing facilities - a new build system using autoconf and automake which makes it much easier to package - C pre-processor support - an "observe" command that can show you all the calls to a given function or constant - the interface is more configurable than before - a debian package Support for the 5.x series of GHC has been dropped. Sadly there is still no support for hierarchical modules (sorry). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buddha is a declarative debugger for Haskell 98. It is based on program transformation and works with GHC 6.x. Buddha offers a declarative debugging algorithm and a browsing mechanism. It is useful for finding logical errors in programs and for exploring computations in a high-level manner. The interface is designed to be simple to use, and may be an ideal aid for teaching Haskell. Version 1.2 is known to work on GNU/linux/x86, GNU/linux/alpha, Darwin, FreeBSD, solaris/x86. It does not (as far as I know) work on Windows. Buddha is released under the GPL license. Enjoy, Bernie.
