[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: doctest-0.4.0

[Simon Hengel]

I just uploaded a new version of doctest[1] to Hackage.


WHAT IS doctest?
================

doctest is a port of Python's doctest[2] to Haskell.  It can be used to
verify, that examples in Haddock comments[3] do still work.  This also
provides you with a simple mechanism to write unit test, without the
burden of maintaining a dedicated test suite.

A basic example of usage is at [4].


WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION?
===========================

doctest's functionality is now exposed as a library, this allows for
integration with existing test frameworks.  Sakari Jokinen is working on
integration with test-framework[5].

Thanks to Sakari Jokinen for both, his contributions to the doctest API
and his work on test-framework-doctest!

Cheers,
Simon
