[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: attempt

We'd like to announce the second release (version 0.0.1) of the attempt package, for handling of failures. This release has been made to work with the new control-monad-failure package[1] in an effort to standardize failure handling. Notable changes to this release: * The MonadAttempt class was fully redundant with MonadFailure, and has thus been removed. * WrapFailure class has been moved to control-monad-failure (with minor modifications). * Data.Attempt.Helper (safe versions of some functions) has been moved to safe-failure[2]. * Full support for the monadloc package[3] to get monadic stack traces. As usual, this release is available on hackage[4]. API stability cannot be guaranteed with this release as well, but we're getting much closer to hitting the mark. All the best, Michael Snoyman, Nicolas Pouillard 1. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/control-monad-failure 2. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/safe-failure 3. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/monadloc 4. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/attempt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
