The Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 4.03 (beta)
===============================================
A test release of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC), version 4.03 for
x86 Win32 platforms is now available. Distributions are freely
available via the World-Wide Web and through anon. FTP; details below.
Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming language; the
current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998.
Haskell related information is available from the Haskell home page at
http://haskell.org/
+ What's new
=============
GHC 4.03 for Win32 adds support for the following:
* Embracing DLLs - compiled code can now be packaged up
inside DLLs. As a result, the RTS and Prelude libraries
now come packaged up in DLLs, making for considerable
slimmer binaries.
* Dropping the dependency on the cygwin.dll compatibility
DLL for ghc-compiled binaries. The cygwin tools are still
required to use ghc itself.
