I'm pleased to announce the release 1.5.1 of the Haskell "plugins" library,
$ cabal install plugins
The "plugins" library provides a comprehensive API for:
* dynamic loading and linking native Haskell modules
* runtime compilation and meta-programming in Haskell
* runtime hotswapping of Haskell code
In short, it provides a framework for dynamic extension of Haskell
programs [1].
This release is due to great work by Manuel Chakravarty, who cleaned up
much of the code and helped migrate it from GHC 6.8 to 6.12.
