[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: wxHaskell 0.10.3 rc1

[Jeremy O'Donoghue]

We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of wxHaskell
0.10.3.

This is the first update with binary packages available since June 2005,
and is the result of a great deal of work by a new team of contributors.

We are hoping to make a full release shortly, and issues and bug reports
either through the wxHaskell user mailing list
(wxhaskell-users at sourceforge.net) or via the Sourceforge bug tracker
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=73133&atid=536845).

Highlights of 0.10.3 rc1 include:

- Support for Unicode builds of wxWidgets
- Support for additional widgets including calendar, toolbar divider,
styled text control (wxScintilla), media control
- Support for clipboard, drag and drop
- Support for 64bit (Linux) targets
- Support for wxWidgets 2.6.x (support for wxWidgets 2.4.2 retained if
you compile from source)
- Support for building with GHC 6.6.x and 6.8.x
- Parts of wxHaskell are now built with Cabal
- New test cases
- Removed support GHC version < 6.4
- Profiling support
- Smaller generated binary sizes (using --split-objs)

following platforms:

- Debian
- Windows
