Dear Haskell community, I'm proud to announce the release of Haddock 2.0.0.0! http://www.haskell.org/haddock http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/haddock-2.0.0.0 Changes in version 2.0.0.0: * The GHC API is used as the front-end * Haddock now understands all syntax understood by GHC 6.8.2 * Haddock can generate documentation for some of the language extensions in GHC 6.8.2 * Format of module attributes has changed. The only way of specifiying module attributes is via a new OPTIONS_HADDOCK pragma. Example: {-# OPTIONS_HADDOCK hide, prune #-} * Haddock understands literate source files * Add a small library to read Haddock's interface files * Add a flag -B for passing the path to the GHC lib dir * Add a flag --optghc for passing options to GHC * Add a flag --ghc-version for printing the GHC version * Remove --use-package, --allow-missing-html, --ghc-pkg, in favour of only supporting --read-interface * Remove --package flag, the GHC flag -package-name can be used instead * Remove --no-implicit-prelude flag, the GHC flag -XNoImplicitPrelude can be used instead * Hoogle support temporarily removed It should be noted that this version of Haddock is not compatible with interface files from previous versions. Also, currently, when Haddock comes across a GHC language extension that it doesn't know how to render as HTML, it will bail out. If this happens to you, bug me about it, or help out by sending a patch. On the development side, Haddock has been slightly refactored for easier code navigation, and has the beginnings of a test suite. Haddock also ships with (as noted in the list of changes) a small, experimental library that can be used to read its interface files. Tools and IDE-type applications can use this library to e.g. look up the documentation for identifiers. The code repository is at http://code.haskell.org/haddock. David
