I'm very pleased to announce the 0.4.1 release of the Yi editor.
== Yi ==
Yi is a text editor written and extensible in Haskell. The
long-term goal of the Yi project is to provide the editor of
choice for Haskell programmers. In the meantime, we have fun by
hacking an editor in a decent language :)
Yi is not a finished product. This is an alpha-quality release.
However, Yi has become a lot more accessible than
previously, so if you feel like testing it, now might be a good time
to take a look.
== Installation ==
Using cabal install:
cabal install yi-0.4.1
If you want gtk support, first install gtk2hs 0.9.13.
If you want vty support, pass the -fvty option to cabal install.
== Features ==
* A purely functional editor core;
* Key-bindings written as parsers of the input;
* Emacs, Vim and (partial) Cua emulations provided by default;
* Vty, Gtk2Hs, and (experimental) Cocoa front-ends;
* Static configuration (XMonad style) for fast load;
* Simple Haskell support:
* Syntax highlighting
* Auto-indentation
* Call cabal-build within the editor
