Announcing jhc 0.7.6! This release fixes a large number of bugs that cropped up when compiling hoskell out in the wild. In addition it has some major internal cleanups and better support for cross-compilation. This is a minor release in that I am just announcing it on jhc@haskell.org.

Benchmark updated with new results: http://mirror.seize.it/report.html

Cool. I didn't expect too much change here, but it is good to see at least a little progress. Any luck on getting the RTS to limit ram use appropriately?

I've only been successful at substituting OOM errors with timeout errors so far.

I have a couple ideas for low hanging fruit to help the speed/resource usage of the compiler I'll try to work into an upcoming release. Along with some better diagnostics output of memory usage for you.

Excellent. -- Cheers,   Lemmih
