Announcing the release of Haddock 0.9

   http://www.haskell.org/haddock/
   http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/haddock-0.9

While Haddock 2 is still in development and should be available shortly, 
this is an updated version of the old Haddock that works with the latest 
tools and has various other improvements (all of which have also been 
rolled into Haddock 2).

Changes in version 0.9:

   * Infix type operators, e.g., first :: a~>a' -> (a,b)~>(a',b)

   * Add a search box to the index page which automatically narrows
     the index to the search as you type (thanks to Neil Mitchell).

   * Add a --ghc-pkg flag

   * Add a flag --allow-missing-html

   * URL expansion for %%, %L, %{LINE}

   * added substitution %{FILE///c}

   * Lexing of /.../ is now more like '...', in that a / character must
     be matched by another / character on the same line, otherwise it
     is treated as a literal '/'.  This removes a common source of
     accidental parse errors in documentation.

   * Various bugs were fixed.

   * Cabal 1.2 is now required, and Haddock builds with GHC 6.8.x.
