Announcing ========== The Haskell Report Version 1.2 1 March 1992 The Haskell Committee, formed in September 1987 to design a "common" non-strict purely functional language, has released an updated version of the Haskell Report. Version 1.2 of the report was prepared for publication in SIGPLAN Notices in the May 1992 issue. It corrects some typographical errors in the 1.1 report, and clarifies the presentation in places, sometimes by giving new examples. A few small changes have also been made to the syntax and standard prelude. In addition to the new report, a Haskell tutorial by Paul Hudak and Joe Fasel is also now available. This will also be published in SIGPLAN Notices as a companion to the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Both the new report and the tutorial are available via anonymous internet ftp. Three Haskell ftp sites have been established: nebula.cs.yale.edu (128.36.13.1) ftp.dcs.glasgow.ac.uk (130.209.240.50) animal.cs.chalmers.se (129.16.225.66) Each of these sites has an area devoted to Haskell-related material in pub/haskell. The file pub/haskell/FILES_ORG contains a complete list of the available material. The report can be found in: pub/haskell/report/report-1.2.dvi.Z -- A compressed dvi file pub/haskell/report/report-1.2.ps.Z -- A compressed postscript file The tutorial can be found in: pub/haskell/tutorial/tutorial.ps.Z -- A compressed postscript file (No dvi version available) An online supplement to the tutorial for users of Yale haskell is also available -- look in pub/haskell/tutorial/README for more information. These sites also contain current Haskell implementations, papers related to Haskell, the Gofer system, and archives of the Haskell mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The report is also available from Yale as a technical report; however, we recomend waiting for the SIGPLAN publication instead. To get a hardcopy version of the report, send $10 to: The Haskell Project Department of Computer Science Yale University Box 2158 Yale Station New Haven, CT 06520 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A mailing list for general discussions about Haskell is reachable in one of two ways: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] To be added to the above mailing list, send mail to either [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED], whichever is the nearer site to you. Please do not post administrative requests direct to the mailing list. To inquire about implementation status, send mail to one of the addresses mentioned in the preface of the report.
