[nhc-users] ANNOUNCE: nhc98 1.06, incorporating Hat 1.06.

[Malcolm Wallace]

			-----------
			nhc98 v1.06
			===========

This message announces a new release of the nhc98 compiler and the Hat
(Haskell Tracing) system.  Version 1.06 is primarily a bugfix release,
correcting minor bugs and build problems with 1.04.

See      http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/nhc98/        for downloads.

However there are a couple of new features worth noting:

  * The Prelude/Libraries have been updated to match the newly revised
        Haskell'98 Report.
  * Building 'make all' with gcc now really does build everything
        directly with gcc, including profiling and tracing.  This is
        much faster, reducing the complete build time to around 20
        minutes on a 500MHz Pentium.
  * The default build target is now basic + tracer (was previously just basic).


If you haven't already tried out the Hat tracing system, now is a
good time to have a go!
