  • Associated data types in GHC. Manuel Chakravarty announced the availability of indexed data types, an extension of our earlier proposal for associated data types, in GHC's development version. Detailed information on where to get the right GHC and how to use indexed types is available from the Haskell wiki.

  • Yhc Bytecode library 0.3. Robert Dockins announced the release of the Yhc Bytecode library, version 0.3.

  • Haskell Program Coverage. Andy Gill checked the latest version of HPC, with GHC support, into the head GHC branch

  • Haskell Mersenne Twister. Lennart Augustsson made available his Haskell implementation of the Mersenne Twister random number generator.

  • Haskell-specific Google Search Engine. Don Stewart initialised a Haskell-specific search engine, as part of Google's coop engine system, which seems to do a good job of targeting just Haskell sites, in particular, mailing list items

  • A process for submitting library extensions. The libraries hackers have developed a document describing how to best go about contributing new code to the core Haskell libraries. On a similar note, the GHC team has prepared a page on best practice for GHC submissions.

  • How to create a Haskell project. Don Stewart and Ian Lynagh prepared some guidelines on starting your own Haskell project.
