<em>Hugs 2006</em>. Ross Paterson
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13688 announced]
 
a new major release of Hugs, including an installer for Windows and a
 
new WinHugs interface. It is available from
 
[http://www.haskell.org/hugs/ the Hugs page].

<em>Linspire Chooses Haskell for Core OS Development</em>.
 
Clifford Beshers
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/12662 announced]
 
that the OS team at Linspire, Inc. is standardizing on Haskell as their
 
preferred language for core OS development.
 
Much of the infrastructure is being written in Haskell, including
 
the Debian package builder (aka autobuilder). Other tools such as ISO
 
builders, package dependency checkers are in progress. The goal is to
 
make a tight, simple set of tools that will let developers contribute
 
to Freespire, based on Debian tools whenever possible.

<em>lambdaFeed</em>. Manuel Chakravarty
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13649 released]
 
lambdaFeed -- lambdas for all! lambdaFeed is an RSS 2.0 feed
 
generator. It reads news items - in a non-XML, human-friendly
 
format - distributed over multiple channels and renders them
 
into the RSS 2.0 XML format understood by most news aggregators
 
as well as into HTML for inclusion into web pages.
 
Source is available in darcs.
 
[http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/lambdaFeed/ Check it out].

<em>Milfoh, an image to texture loading library</em>. Maurizio Monge
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13653 announced]
 
he has put together a very small library, using SDL_image (and a
 
bare minimun of SDL), to load image files as opengl textures.

<em>Haskell Charting Library</em>. Tim Docker
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13678 released]
 
his Haskell 2D charting library. It's still at quite an early stage, but already it has:
 
<ul>
 
<li>Line charts, points charts, fills, and combinations.
 
<li>Automatic layout sizing and adjustment.
 
<li>Auto scaling of axis ranges
 
<li>Extensible to support new plot types
 
<li>Uses the cairo graphics library for output
 
</ul> and more. [http://dockerz.net/software/chart.html Further information and a darcs repo.]

<em>Edison 1.2RC4</em>. Robert Dockins
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/4718 announced]
 
the 4th release candidate for Edison 1.2. Edison is a library of
 
efficient data structures for Haskell.

<li>
 
<p><em>Collections pre-release</em>. Jean-Philippe Bernardy
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/4719 announced]
 
an alpha release of the new collections package he (and others) have
 
been working on. It's still far from perfect, but I hope it's already a
 
good choice for many use cases of collection data structures.

<li>
 
<p><em>Haskell Graph Automorphism Library</em>. In a busy week,
 
Jean-Philippe also
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/4739 released]
 
HGAL 1.2 (Haskell Graph Automorphism Library), a Haskell implementation
 
of Brendan McKay's algorithm for graph canonic labeling and
 
automorphism group. (aka Nauty). Improvements over the previous release
 
include a faster algorithm implementation and the library is now cabalised.

<em>Darcs 1.0.7</em>. Tommy Pettersson
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.darcs.user/9896 announced]
 
the release of darcs 1.0.7, containing a few bug fixes, and some new features.

<em>hmake</em>. Malcolm Wallace
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13634 released]
 
version 3.11 of
 
[http://haskell.org/hmake hmake],
 
the compiler-independent project-building tool for Haskell
 
programs. It automates recompilation analysis, based on import
 
declarations in your files, to rebuild only those modules that
 
are impacted by a change. It is rather like ghc's --make mode,
 
but faster, less memory intensive, and it works with any
 
compiler (e.g. hbc, nhc98).

<em>cpphs</em>. In a busy week, Malcolm also
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13638 released]
 
version 1.2 of
 
[http://haskell.org/cpphs cpphs], the in-Haskell
 
implementation of the C pre-processor. The major change in this
 
release is that the source files have been re-arranged into a
 
cabal-ised hierarchical library namespace, so you can use cpp
 
functionality from within your own code, in addition to the
 
stand-alone utility.
 
</p>
 
</li>
 
 
<li>
 
<p><em>Cabal 1.1</em>. Duncan Coutts (as the new Cabal release manager)
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13625 announced]
 
that Cabal-1.1.4, the version shipped with GHC 6.4.2 is now
 
available to download as
 
[http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html a separate tarball].
 
There is also a
 
[http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel new mailing list]
 
for Cabal development discussion including patch review. This is
 
also where patches sent via "darcs send" will end up.
 
The Cabal team would also like to take the opportunity to invite
 
people to get involved in Cabal development, either new features
 
or squashing annoying bugs.

<em>DownNova-0.1</em>. Lemmih
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/13640 released]
 
downNova, a program designed for automating the process of
 
downloading TV series from mininova.org. Written in Haskell, it
 
will scan your downloaded files to find out what your interests
 
are and download missing/new episodes to your collection.
 
Advanced classification techniques are used to interpret the
 
file names and 'downNova' will correctly extract series name,
 
season number, episode number and episode title in nigh all
 
cases.

<em>Student SoC Application Deadline</em> is rapidly approaching. Paolo
 
Martini encouraged students to apply to google, using the
 
[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/12563 student application]
 
form, and [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ Haskell.org]
 
is looking forward to the several dozen applications we hope to receive.
