[Haskell-cafe] ANN: hsqml-0.2.0.0

[Robin KAY]

Dear All,

I would like to announce version 0.2.0.0 of the HsQML graphics library.

HsQML provides a Haskell binding to the Qt Quick framework. It allows 
you to write graphical applications where the front-end is written in Qt 
Quick's QML language (incorporating JavaScript) and the back-end is 
written in Haskell. The two layers are coupled together via a facility 
to define custom JavaScript objects through which QML code can call into 
Haskell and vice versa.

HsQML requires an installation of Qt 4.7 or 4.8 (including 
QtDeclarative) present on your path.

This release introduces several new features, including support for 
firing QML signals from Haskell code and MacOS support. A number of bugs 
have also been resolved. For more information, please see my web site 
[1] and the Hackage page [2].

The hsqml-morris demo application [3], which implements the game of Nine 
Men's Morris against an AI opponent, has also been updated to 0.2.0.0. 
It now uses QML signals to run the game's AI processing outside of the 
event loop so as to maintain a responsive UI.

My goals for the next release are to work on writing a proper user 
manual and to migrate the library over to work with Qt 5.x.
