[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: jhc 0.6.0 Haskell Compiler

Hi, I am pleased to announce jhc 0.6.0, It has been a long time since an official release, so there have been a lot of changes. Jhc is an optimizing haskell compiler that focuses on creating fast and portable code. Jhc is still mainly of interest to jhc hackers and developers than the general haskell public, but it is starting to see use in embedded development with haskell so I decided to make more public announcements of major releases in the future. some links: The jhc homepage: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/ Installation Instructions: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/building.shtml The jhc manual: http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/manual.html And I am happy to announce, there is now a yum repository* for jhc and my other projects (such as DrIFT), so if you use an rpm based linux distribution, you can keep up to date with jhc official releases by doing: ; rpm -i http://repetae.net/yum/repetae-repo-1.0-3.noarch.rpm ; yum install jhc A couple recent changes: jhc now comes bundled with the 'containers' and 'applicative' library making it much easier to compile many haskell programs out there. (Data.Graph, Data.IntMap, Data.IntSet, Data.Map, Data.Sequence, Data.Set, Data.Tree, Control.Applicative, Control.Arrow, Control.Category, Data.Foldable, Data.Traversable) signifigant speed and resource usage improvements in compilation time. transparent cross compilation support for creating windows programs on a unix box. (or iPhone/Nokia Tablet/etc..) If you are interested in jhc development, please sign up on the jhc mailing list here: http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/jhc John * I would love to get proper 'deb's and BSD packages built also automatically, if anyone wants to help with this, please join the list and let us know. -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
