Announcing the release of buddha version 0.9
--------------------------------------------

   www.cs.mu.oz.au/~bjpop/buddha

Buddha is a declarative debugger for Haskell 98. It is based on program
transformation and relies on GHC version 5.04 or greater (but not version 6
yet). It also needs GHC's libraries compiled for profiling.

New in this release:

   - support for record syntax 
   - debugging versions of all the standard Haskell 98 libraries
   - some minor improvements in the transformation (for efficiency and 
     usability)
       
Features still missing:

   - mutually recursive modules,
   - deriving Ix.

Platforms supported:

   - tested on linux
   - (should work in any unix-like environment),
   - not tested on Windows (sorry).

Note that buddha does not yet work with GHC version 6.0. This will be fixed
in coming releases.

Cheers,
Bernie.
