[Haskell-cafe] ANN: hsqml-0.3.0.0 supports Qt 5

[Robin KAY]

Dear All,

I would like to announce version 0.3.0.0 of the HsQML graphics library, 
a Haskell binding to the Qt Quick framework.

The library 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. 
Documentation including a brief tutorial is available on my web-site [1].

HsQML requires an installation of Qt 5 (including Qt Quick) present on 
your path. This is the first release to support Qt 5 and it has been a 
much requested feature. Several other new features are also introduced 
in this release, including support for marshalling lists and signalling 
property notifications. For more information, please see the release 
announcement [2].

The release is available for download from Hackage [3] along with a demo 
application implementing Nine Men's Morris [4] and some other sample 
programs [5]. Linux, Windows, and Mac OS platforms should all be supported.
