I should like to announce the release of a new version of the Haskell Cryptographic Library based on the proposal at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Crypto_Library_Proposal.
Why is it that we aren't focusing on putting together good bindings for OpenSSL? Then we could put a nice functional veneer on the hash and crypto functions, and get SSL support in the process. Haskell's lack of SSL/TLS support is... disturbing. It should be integrated in the network package. Hopefully I'll be able to do something about it in the summer. I started some maintenance work on hopenssl a month ago or so but had to suspend it to finish off my academic year. Matthew Cox
