We are pleased to announce the next release of Classic Hugs, a Haskell interpreter and programming environment for developing cool Haskell programs. Sources and binaries are freely available by anonymous FTP and on the World-Wide Web. The release and supporting documents can be downloaded from the Hugs home page at: http://haskell.org/hugs *** This is purely a bug-fix release of Hugs98 Nov99. *** It fixes the following problems: - If you defined an instance which inherited a method via a superclass, hugs would go into an infinite loop. Fortunately, most people weren't doing this (except Chris Okasaki...). - There were a couple of holes in the implementation of implicit parameters (`with' wasn't always being scoped properly, sometimes capturing implicit parameters outside of its scope). - Functional dependencies weren't being properly propagated in some cases with derived instances (`instance P ... => Q ...'). - Other (minor) bugfixes and enhancements. This means that Hugs now works with Chris Okasaki's collection library. Send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to join the hugs-users mailing list.
