Sources and binaries are freely available on the World-Wide Web. The most important features of this new release are: - The incompatibilities between Hugs and the Haskell Graphics Library have been fixed, and binaries for the HGL are now available on the Hugs download page. - The missing standard libraries Directory, CPUTime, Time and Locale have been added along with a complete implementation of Haskell98 IO. - Hugs is now delivered with most of the hslibs libraries installed in the lib/exts/ directory. The added modules cover the Edison, Parsec, HaXml, QuickCheck, concurrent, monad, and html subdirectories of hslibs. - The :set option now refuses the user to set a module search path that doesn't contain the Prelude. This is to protect users from accidentally rendering their Hugs setups unusable, esp. so on Windows machines where the options are persisted to the Registry. - MacOS X is now one of the supported unix ports, with pre-built binaries available on the download page. - Experimental support is provided for hierarchical module names, where a module name A.B.C is mapped onto the file path A/B/C{.hs,.lhs} and appended to each of the path prefixes in HUGSPATH until the name of a readable file is found. Most reported bugs have also been fixed; however, some issues still remain. See the heading "Hugs Bugs & Features" on the Hugs web site for further information.
