Hi, thanks for the report. Now fixed. --sigbjorn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Herington" <heringto@cs.unc.edu> To: <hugs-bugs@haskell.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 09:05 Subject: change in IO error messages
In the 20021021 release candidate, a newline is now appended to IO error
messages, including in particular the case of (ioError (userError "user message")). I dislike this change for several reasons:
* It treats IO errors differently from other exceptions. That is, (show e) for an Exception e has a newline appended for IO errors but not other exceptions. * It introduces an unnecessary inconsistency with GHC. * It breaks HUnit, which needs to manipulate error message strings.
