Fantastic release, thank you!  It's never been so easy to start
playing with Yi.  : )

 Yi is a text editor written and extensible in Haskell. The
 long-term goal of the Yi project is to provide the editor of
 choice for Haskell programmers. In the meantime, we have fun by
 hacking an editor in a decent language :)

 Yi is not a finished product. This is an alpha-quality release.
 However, Yi has become a lot more accessible than
 previously, so if you feel like testing it, now might be a good time
 to take a look.

 == Installation ==

 Using cabal install:

  cabal install yi-0.4.1

 If you want gtk support, first install gtk2hs 0.9.13.
 If you want vty support, pass the -fvty option to cabal install.

 == Features ==
* A purely functional editor core;
* Key-bindings written as parsers of the input;
* Emacs, Vim and (partial) Cua emulations provided by default;
* Vty, Gtk2Hs, and (experimental) Cocoa front-ends;
* Static configuration (XMonad style) for fast load;
* Simple Haskell support:
* Syntax highlighting
* Auto-indentation
* Call cabal-build within the editor

 == Links ==
* download: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/yi
* FAQ: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yi/FAQ
* homepage: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yi
* check and report issues: http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/list

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANN: Yi 0.4.1

Hi Jean-Philippe,

  Using cabal install:

   cabal install yi-0.4.1

when I do this on my Windows machine, cabal-install tries to download
the unix-2.3.0.0 package, which clearly won't work. How do I get yi to
install on Windows?

Cheers,

/Niklas

While the vty frontend is working, the gtk / pango frontends are erroring
for me with,

$ yi -f pango
Launching custom yi: /home/dons/.yi/yi-x86_64-linux
yi: exception :: System.Glib.GError.GError

Anyone seen this?

great, i can't wait to check it out ...

i get the following error when installing via hackage/cabal (ghc 6.8.1, cabal
1.4.0.1):

Yi/Buffer.hs:253:0:
No instance for (Typeable4 RWS)
  arising from the 'deriving' clause of a data type declaration
   at Yi/Buffer.hs:(253,0)-(254,101)
Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Typeable4 RWS)
When deriving the instance for (Typeable1 BufferM)

Yi/Buffer.hs:256:0:
Can't make a derived instance of `Typeable4 RWS'
  (even with cunning newtype deriving:
   the representation type has wrong kind)
In the stand-alone deriving instance for `Typeable4 RWS'

any ideas what's going wrong? is it finally time to upgrade my ghc
installation?
