Hi all,

buddha 0.6 is now available:

   http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~bjpop/buddha/

buddha is a declarative debugger for Haskell 98. 

The main new feature is an automated front end, so all you have to do is:

   buddha
   {- wait a bit -}
   cd Buddha; ./debug

Version 0.6 supports _most_ of the language, the main missing bits are:

   record syntax (sometimes works, but not fully)
   deriving statements (you have to expand them yourself, sigh)
   standard libraries: Ratio Numeric Directory Time Random (because of above)

buddha should work with ghc 5.04 or greater, on any unix-a-like machine.

The missing bits will hopefully be added in the next few releases.

Cheers,
Bernie.
