November 2003 - Hugs-Users

ANNOUNCE: Hugs98 November 2003 release
by Ross Paterson 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

We are pleased to announce a new release of Hugs98, an interpreter and programming environment for developing Haskell programs. Sources and binaries are freely available on the World-Wide Web. (Contributions of binary packages for other platforms would be welcome.) Feature highlights of this new release are: - More of the hierarchical libraries, including imprecise exceptions and unboxed arrays, giving greater compatibility with GHC. For now, compatibility with the old libraries is provided by stub modules, but users are encouraged to migrate to the new libraries. - The Double type is now double-precision on most architectures. - The -e, -f, -i, -N, -W and -X options are gone, as is the :project command. - Integrated .NET support (on Windows). - The beginnings of a User's Guide (still somewhat incomplete). - Numerous bug fixes since the previous major release in Nov 2002. The home page for Hugs is at http://haskell.org/hugs. Send email to hugs-users-request(a)haskell.org to join the hugs-users mailing list. Bug reports should be sent to hugs-bugs(a)haskell.org. Send email to hugs-bugs-request(a)haskell.org to subscribe to the hugs-bugs list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Hugs 98 system is Copyright (c) Mark P Jones, Alastair Reid, the Yale Haskell Group, and the OGI School of Science & Engineering at OHSU, 1994-2003, All rights reserved.

monomorphism restriction
by Iavor S. Diatchki 05 Nov '03

hello, would it be hard to add an option to hugs to turn off the monomorphism restriction? what i have in mind is something similar to ghc's -fno-monomorphism-restriction. bye iavor -- ================================================== | Iavor S.
