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. Feature highlights of this new release are: - Much improved FFI support (contributed by Alastair Reid), bringing Hugs really very close to the Haskell FFI specification. - Adoption of a significant subset of GHC's hierarchical libraries (contributed by Ross Paterson). - An (allegedly) complete implementation of the Haskell98 module system (Sigbjorn Finne). - Numerous bug fixes since the previous major release in Dec 2001. The home page for Hugs is at http://haskell.org/hugs. Send email to hugs-users-request@haskell.org to join the hugs-users mailing list. Bug reports should be sent to hugs-bugs@haskell.org.
