<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.

<em>GHC 6.4.2</em>. Simon Marlow
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13576 announced]
 
the release of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, version 6.4.2.
 
GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included
 
is an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of
 
platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick
 
development. The distribution includes space and time profiling
 
facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various
 
language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign
 
language interfaces (C, whatever). GHC is distributed under a
 
BSD-style open source license. For more information, see:

<em>Communities and Activities Report</em>. Andres Loeh
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13578 released]
 
the call for contributions to the 10th (!) Haskell Communities and
 
Activities Report. If you are working on any project that is in some
 
way related to Haskell, write a short entry and submit it to Andres.
 
</p>
 
<p>
 
The Haskell Communities and Activities Report is a bi-annual
 
overview of the state of Haskell as well as Haskell-related projects
 
over the last, and possibly the upcoming 6 months. If you have only
 
recently been exposed to Haskell, it might be a good idea to browse the
 
[http://haskell.org/communities/11-2005/html/report.html November 2005 edition]
 
-- you will find interesting topics described as well as several
 
starting points and links that may provide answers to many questions.

<em>Haskell' Status Report</em>. Isaac Jones
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13603 released]
 
a [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime Haskell'] status report.
 
Currently the committee is focused on two issues, standardising
 
[http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/Concurrency concurrency]
 
and extensions to
 
[http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/ClassSystem the class system].

<em>Google Summer of Code</em>. Paolo Martini
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/12496 announced]
 
that Haskell.org would have a presence as an official mentoring
 
organisation for this year's Google Summer of Code. Several members
 
of the Haskell community have volunteered as mentors, and a large
 
number of proposals have been listed. If you're interested in
 
mentoring, suggesting projects, or applying as a student to spend
 
your summer writing Haskell code, check it out!
