We announce a new release, 1.16, of the Haskell compiler nhc98, with the
following new features and bugfixes of note.

 *  nhc98 once again builds on Windows (Cygwin) with ghc.

 *  nhc98 now works correctly in the presence of gcc-3.x.

 *  A large subset of the 'base' package of hierarchical
    libraries is now included in the build.

 *  The primitive FFI mechanism has been updated to match
    the latest official spec, and the full Foreign
    libraries are also included (in hierarchical form).

 *  The library function List.sortBy now uses a stable
    O(n log n) mergesort.

 *  Numerous other small fixes, including revisions to the
    Haskell'98 standard.

 *  The website is now hosted at haskell.org

 *  Our CVS repository is also now hosted at cvs.haskell.org

     The nhc98 team at York
