the much anticipated first 0.5 release is out. This incorperates Lemmih's great performance patches, a completely new mechanism for collecting and processing ho files, and a reworking of the rules infrastructure. in addition: jhc now has the beginnings of a manual! http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/manual.html The manual is in its infancy, and not quite complete or correct, but I hope to expand it quickly now that the infrastructure is in place. users of fedora linux can install simply via the following command: ; rpm -U http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/drop/jhc-0.5.20080301-1.i386.rpm there are also tarballs for other distributions. information is at the homepage here: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc jhc currently passes all its regressions but one (BinaryTrees) but I decided to make a release anyway since there has been a lot of work done. Once I figure out the bug affecting this last regression, I will make another point release and do a more general announcement on the main haskell list. enjoy!
