We are pleased to announce a new release of Hugs98, an interpreter and programming environment for developing Haskell programs.

In addition to numerous bug fixes, changes since the interim release in March 2005 include:

  • The default current module is now the empty module Hugs.
  • Compatibility libraries are present, but no longer included on the default search path. They will be removed in the next release.
  • Rewritten graphical Windows interface (contributed by Neil Mitchell).

Further changes since the last major release in November 2003 include:

  • The Char type and the Char module now support Unicode as specified in the Haskell 98 Report (contributed by Dmitry Golubovsky).
  • The new -X option groups several options into one argument.
  • The syntax of the ffihugs command has changed: the +G and +L options are gone, and a new +i option can be used to specify include files.
  • Hugs now has basic support for Cabal.

The home page for Hugs is at http://haskell.org/hugs.
