Updated Debian Packages Available
by Brent Fulgham 05 Dec '01

05 Dec '01

I have updated the versions of nhc98 at http://people.debian.org/~bfulgham/nhc98 to the current 'stable' release of 1.10. Furthermore, based on requests from several list subscribers, I have uploaded nhc98 to Debian's Incoming archive. From here it will be moved to the unstable development branch for a time, and will eventually become part of the release. nhc98 is not likely to make the forthcoming Debian release, but rest assured it will be available for the next go 'round! Regards, -Brent

by Ralf Hinze 01 Nov '01

01 Nov '01

Dear nhc98 team, as a by-product of my attempt to port Frown to nhc98 I have produced RPMs for SuSE 7.1 (they probably work also for other versions). You can find them here: http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/hmake-2.03-1.i386.rpm http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/nhc98-1.10-1.i386.rpm http://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/~ralf/nhc98-1.10-1.src.rpm [A big thank you to José Romildo Malaquias for providing the source RPM.] Cheers, Ralf

ANNOUNCE: Hat 1.10 and nhc98 1.10
by Malcolm Wallace 22 Oct '01

22 Oct '01

Hat 1.10 and nhc98 1.10 ----------------------- http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/nhc98/ We are pleased to announce a new release 1.10 of Hat (the Haskell Tracing system), and the nhc98 compiler. This is a bugfix release. Its main feature is that the compiler's qualified import/export mechanism has been overhauled to fix some serious shortcomings, and to meet the new revised Haskell'98 specification. We have also taken the opportunity to improve some presentation aspects of the various Hat tracing tools, based on feedback from users. Regards, The Hat team

default heap size
by Amanda Clare 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Is there any way to permanently change the default heap size that nhc uses? I seem to have asked for the default heap size to be 1M, which is too small for my purposes, and now I always have to remember to add +RTS -H10M to everything.
