SmallCheck 0.2. Colin Runciman announced that SmallCheck 0.2, a lightweight testing library for Haskell, is out, and can be obtained. Since version 0.1: there's now a choice of interactive or non-interactive test-drivers using iterative deepening; more pre-defined test-data generators, including revised Int, Integer, Float, Double, Nat and Natural and additional examples. SmallCheck is similar to QuickCheck but instead of testing for a sample of randomly generated values, SmallCheck tests properties for all the finitely many values up to some depth, progressively increasing the depth used.
Hoogle Command Line 3 Beta. Neil Mitchell released Hoogle Command Line version 3 Beta, an alternative to the Hoogle website. Hoogle lets you search for Haskell functions by name and by type signature.
The Monad.Reader. Wouter Swierstra issued a call for submissions for articles for the next issue of The Monad.Reader. There are a large number of conferences and journals that accept research papers related to Haskell; unfortunately, the platform for non-academic publications is far less developed. This is where The Monad.Reader fits in. So if you are tossing around some ideas, write it up, and submit! Deadline for submissions is January 19th, 2007.
Haskell Communities and Activities Report. Andres Loeh reminded us that the deadline for the November 2006 edition of the Haskell Communities and Activities Report is now! -- there may still be just enough time to make sure that the report contains a section on *your* project, on the interesting stuff that you've been doing; using or affecting Haskell in some way. For more info see the call for contributions.
HsMan. Frederik Eaton announced hsman, a tool that indexes Haddock-generated HTML files, and allows users to search for functions and also GHC manual topics.
HaL, Haskell meeting in Leipzig. Johannes Waldmann announced that a local Haskell meeting is to take place on December 5th in Leipzig, Germany. The meeting will be hosted by IBA Consulting. It will be quite informal, with some very short talks (most probably in German). Interessenten sind herzlich eingeladen. Details and (free) registration.
