Announcement ------------ A new pre-release of the nhc98 Haskell Compiler, nhc98-1.0pre18, is now available in the usual place: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/nhc98/ Changes between pre17 and pre18 are: * Bugfix: Further config fixes were required to allow it to build with ghc-4.06 as well as ghc-4.04 and earlier. * Bugfix: Some non-essential .c files were missing when building with gcc. * Bugfix: The new implementations of two Directory functions (doesFileExist and doesDirectoryExist) threw IOErrors when they shouldn't. Amongst other things, this prevented building nhc98 with itself, or with gcc. * Addition: We've improved the error messages given by the Directory IO functions to include more information about what caused the error. * Addition: A new compiler flag <em>-report-imports</em> should show a reasonably accurate report of imported functions that are actually used in a module.
