[Haskell] Announce: Yi 0.2.0 released

[Jean-Philippe Bernardy]

Hello folks,

I'm very pleased to announce the 0.2.0 release of the Yi editor.

Yi is a text editor written and extensible in Haskell. The goal of Yi is
to provide a flexible, powerful and correct editor core dynamically
scriptable in Haskell.

Yi is not a finished product, but "release early, release often", and
it's been way too long since last time :). Besides, Yi has interesting
aspects that deserve wider exposure.

  * Yi is an haskell interpreter. Very much like emacs is a Lisp
interpreter, this makes really easy to dynamically hack, experiment
and modify Yi. All tools and goodies written in haskell are also readily
available from the editor. This is implemented by binding to the GHC
api.

  * Frontends. Yi can use either gtk2hs or vty as frontends, so users
can choose their favourite interface.

  * "Emulation modes". The primary emulation modes for Yi are vim and
emacs. Keybindings for vi, mg and nano and other are also provided.
Other editor interfaces can be written by the user to extend Yi.
