I am pleased to announce version 0.10.16 "Altocumulus
Stratiformis Perlucidus Undulatus" of the C interface
generator C->Haskell.  Among bug fixes, the system includes
the following features wrt to the previous major release:

    * Marshalling support for bit masks represented as
      enumeration types 
    * Added fun hooks
    * GHC's package system is now supported
    * Support for bitfields (they are correctly handled when
      computing struct offsets and they can be accessed
      using set and get hooks) 
    * Added class hooks

Thanks to all the people who have helped with patches and
bug reports.  In particular, Michael Weber and Oliver Braun
have provided a Debian package and a FreeBSD port,
respectively.[1]

More information as well as source and binary packages are
available from

Happy Hacking!
Manuel
