<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<br><br>I'm very happy to announce the release of Yampa 0.14.4 and yampa-test<br>0.14.4.<br><br>Yampa is a fast, elegant Functional Reactive Programming implementation.<br>Yampa prides itself in being a long-standing community project. It has<br>now been around for 20 years!!! See<br><a href="https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/yampa#features">https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/yampa#features</a> for details on Yampa's<br>features.<br><br>This release introduces a benchmark that can be used to evaluate the<br>performance of a proposed change to Yampa, as well as to compare<br>different ways of writing the same expressions. We hope that the<br>benchmarks will improve and grow over time, and that they will help<br>speed up the process of evaluating pull requests submitted to the<br>project.<br><br>Performance can be tricky to evaluate precisely, so no eyes are too<br>many. We invite everyone to go to the Github repo and discuss ways to<br>make the benchmarks more reliable, representative, and useful.<br><br>This release also introduces version bounds for dependencies that did<br>not have them, which will make Yampa easier to install. The current<br>release has been tested with all major GHC versions from 7.6 to 9.6.<br><br>Special thanks go to @johannes-riecken for a regular contribution to<br>support the Yampa project.<br><br>For details, see:<br><br>- <a href="https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/Yampa/releases/tag/v0.14.4">https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/Yampa/releases/tag/v0.14.4</a><br><br>The Yampa ecosystem comprises many projects. You can explore the current<br>versions at:<br><br>- <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Yampa">https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Yampa</a><br><br>- <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/yampa-test">https://hackage.haskell.org/package/yampa-test</a><br><br>- <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/yampa-gloss">https://hackage.haskell.org/package/yampa-gloss</a><br><br>- <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/simple-affine-space">https://hackage.haskell.org/package/simple-affine-space</a><br><br>- <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/SpaceInvaders">https://hackage.haskell.org/package/SpaceInvaders</a><br><br>- <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskanoid">https://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskanoid</a><br><br># Code<br><br>The github repos are located at:<br><br>- <a href="https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/Yampa/">https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/Yampa/</a><br><br>- <a href="https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/yampa-gloss/">https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/yampa-gloss/</a><br><br>- <a href="https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/simple-affine-space/">https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/simple-affine-space/</a><br><br>- <a href="https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/SpaceInvaders/">https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/SpaceInvaders/</a><br><br>- <a href="https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/haskanoid/">https://github.com/ivanperez-keera/haskanoid/</a><br><br># What's coming<br><br>This release comes exactly 2 months after the last release. The next<br>release is planned for Oct 7, 2023.<br><br>There are several issues open that you can contribute to. Following our<br>roadmap, we plan to:<br><br>- Create demos and examples using GHC's web backends.<br><br>- Remove unnecessarily exposed elements from the interface (e.g.,<br>  FRP.Yampa.Arrow.arr3) that are not used and belong in other libraries.<br>  This topic is open to discussion.<br><br>- Switch from the old mailing list to a new discussion method. We will<br>  in the future lose access to Yale's CS department-based mailman list,<br>  and are thinking of the best place to move to. For now, the<br>  Discussions tab on Github has been enabled.<br><br># Other news<br><br>I'm also happy to report that the paper "The Beauty and Elegance of<br>Functional Reactive Animation" has been accepted for presentation at<br>FARM 2023. The paper discusses different animations that can easily be<br>created using Yampa.<br><br>I invite you all to download the paper once it's published, and to stop<br>by FARM 2023 if you are at ICFP next month!<br><br># Donations<br><br>Our project is seeking donations to help continue developing Yampa,<br>create new open source libraries, new material, and give talks.<br><br>No donation is too small. Any contribution will absolutely help.<br><br>See <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/ivanperez-keera">https://github.com/sponsors/ivanperez-keera</a> for details.<br><br>If you can help, please come forward.<br><br>All the best,<br><br>Ivan</div>
