The source distribution is freely +\par available via the World-Wide Web, under a BSD-style license. See +\par below for download details. Pre-built packages for Linux, FreeBSD, +\par Solaris and Win32 are also available. +\par +\par Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language; the +\par current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998. +\par +\par GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is +\par an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of +\par platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick +\par development. The distribution includes space and time profiling +\par facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various +\par language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign +\par language interfaces (C, C++, whatever). +\par +\par A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries, +\par specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, +\par contact information, links to research groups) are available from the +\par Haskell home page at +\par +\par http://www.haskell.org/ +\par +\par GHC's Web page lives at +\par +\par http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ +\par }\pard\plain \s15\ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 \f2\fs20\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\dbch\af23 +\par }\pard\plain \s2\ql \li0\ri0\sb240\sa60\keepn\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\outlinelevel1\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 \b\i\f1\fs28\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\dbch\af23 \hich\af1\dbch\af23\loch\f1 What's +\hich\af1\dbch\af23\loch\f1 new +\par }\pard\plain \s15\ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 \f2\fs20\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\dbch\af23 +\par }\pard\plain \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 \fs20\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\loch\af27\hich\af27\dbch\af23 \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 +5.02 incorporates many small refinements and bug fixes over the previous +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 stable release (5.00.2). There are no major changes. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 Much improved support for Windows platforms. Binary builds are +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 now entirely freestanding. There's no need to install Cygwin or +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 Mingwin to use it. It's a one-click-install-and-off-you-go story now. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Several small changes to bring GHC i\hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 nto line with the newest Haskell 98 +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 report. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - GHCi (the interactive system) now works on Windows. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Partial FFI support in GHCi. At the moment, foreign import (both +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 static and dynamic) is supported on x86 and sparc platforms. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - A compacting garbage collector, to try and reduce space use. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Experimental: partial support for hierarchical module names. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Experimental: following heroic hacking by Ken Shan, 5.02 now +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 works on Alpha (Tru64 only). Many 64-bit bugs \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 have been shaken +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 out. At the moment only the batch-mode compiler works -- no GHCi +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 or native code generator yet. +\par +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 We've found and fixed more bugs than you could possibly imagine. A +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 big thank-you to all those who reported bugs in the 5.00.X \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 series. We +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 claim to have fixed almost all reported bugs. In general we've spent +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 a large amount of effort trying to improve the stability of the +\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 system relative to 5.00.X.
