||
− | Clifford Beshers |
||
− | [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/12662 announced] |
||
− | that the OS team at Linspire, Inc. is standardizing on Haskell as their |
||
− | preferred language for core OS development. |
||
− | Much of the infrastructure is being written in Haskell, including |
||
− | the Debian package builder (aka autobuilder). Other tools such as ISO |
||
− | builders, package dependency checkers are in progress. The goal is to |
||
− | make a tight, simple set of tools that will let developers contribute |
||
− | to Freespire, based on Debian tools whenever possible. |

||
− | lambdaFeed -- lambdas for all! lambdaFeed is an RSS 2.0 feed |
||
− | generator. It reads news items - in a non-XML, human-friendly |
||
− | format - distributed over multiple channels and renders them |
||
− | into the RSS 2.0 XML format understood by most news aggregators |
||
− | as well as into HTML for inclusion into web pages. |

||
− | his Haskell 2D charting library. It's still at quite an early stage, but already it has: |

− | <ul> |

− | <li>Line charts, points charts, fills, and combinations. |

− | <li>Automatic layout sizing and adjustment. |

||
− | an alpha release of the new collections package he (and others) have |
||
− | been working on. It's still far from perfect, but I hope it's already a |
||
− | good choice for many use cases of collection data structures. |

− | [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/4739 released] |
||
− | HGAL 1.2 (Haskell Graph Automorphism Library), a Haskell implementation |
||
− | of Brendan McKay's algorithm for graph canonic labeling and |
||
− | automorphism group. (aka Nauty). Improvements over the previous release |
||
− | include a faster algorithm implementation and the library is now cabalised. |

− | <em>Darcs 1.0.7</em>. Tommy Pettersson |

− | <em>hmake</em>. Malcolm Wallace |
||
− | [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13634 released] |
||
− | version 3.11 of |
||
− | [http://haskell.org/hmake hmake], |
||
− | the compiler-independent project-building tool for Haskell |
||
− | programs. It automates recompilation analysis, based on import |
||
− | declarations in your files, to rebuild only those modules that |
||
− | are impacted by a change. It is rather like ghc's --make mode, |
||
− | but faster, less memory intensive, and it works with any |
||
− | compiler (e.g. hbc, nhc98). |

− | [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13638 released] |
||
− | version 1.2 of |
||
− | [http://haskell.org/cpphs cpphs], the in-Haskell |
||
− | implementation of the C pre-processor. The major change in this |
||
− | release is that the source files have been re-arranged into a |
||
− | cabal-ised hierarchical library namespace, so you can use cpp |
||
− | functionality from within your own code, in addition to the |
||
− | stand-alone utility. |

− | <p><em>Cabal 1.1</em>. Duncan Coutts (as the new Cabal release manager) |
||
− | [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13625 announced] |
||
− | that Cabal-1.1.4, the version shipped with GHC 6.4.2 is now |
||
− | available to download as |
||
− | [http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html a separate tarball]. |
||
− | There is also a |
||
− | [http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel new mailing list] |
||
− | for Cabal development discussion including patch review. This is |
||
− | also where patches sent via "darcs send" will end up. |
||
− | The Cabal team would also like to take the opportunity to invite |
||
− | people to get involved in Cabal development, either new features |
||
− | or squashing annoying bugs. |

− | <em>DownNova-0.1</em>. Lemmih |

− | [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13640 released] |
||
− | downNova, a program designed for automating the process of |
||
− | downloading TV series from mininova.org. Written in Haskell, it |
||
− | will scan your downloaded files to find out what your interests |
||
− | are and download missing/new episodes to your collection. |
||
− | Advanced classification techniques are used to interpret the |
||
− | file names and 'downNova' will correctly extract series name, |
||
− | season number, episode number and episode title in nigh all |
||
− | cases. |
