The wxHaskell development team is pleased to announce the release of wxHaskell 0.10.3, a Haskell binding for the wxWidgets GUI library.
The Haskell support is built on a reasonably complete C language binding, which could be used as the basis for wxWidgets support on other languages/platforms which do not have easy mechanisms for linking with C++ code. The feature set is the same as wxHaskell 0.10.3 rc1 and rc2, with a number of additional bugfixes. This is the first full release since June 2005, and is the result of a great deal of work by a new team of contributors. Highlights of 0.10.3 include: - Support for Unicode builds of wxWidgets - Support for additional widgets including calendar, toolbar divider, styled text control (wxScintilla), media control - Support for clipboard, drag and drop - Support for 64bit (Linux) targets - Support for wxWidgets 2.6.x (support for wxWidgets 2.4.2 if you compile from source). wxWidgets 2.8 is not yet supported - Support for building with GHC 6.6.x and 6.8.x - Parts of wxHaskell are now built with Cabal - New test cases - Removed support GHC version < 6.4 - Profiling support - Smaller generated binary sizes (using --split-objs) Binary packages are available from the wxHaskell download site at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73133, for the following platforms: - Debian - Windows - OS X (Intel and PPC platforms) - Source code .tar.gz and .zip - Documentation (cross-platform) The wxHaskell libraries (wxcore and wx) are also available from Hackage (http://hackage.haskell.org). About wxHaskell --------------- wxHaskell is a Haskell binding to the wxWidgets GUI library for recent versions of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. It provides a native look and feel on Windows, OS X and Linux, and a medium level programming interface. The main project page for wxHaskell is at http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net. The latest source code for wxHaskell can always be obtained from http://darcs.haskell.org/wxhaskell. There are developer ([EMAIL PROTECTED] and user ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) mailing lists, and a wiki page at http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell which can provide more information to those interested. wxHaskell was originally created by Daan Leijen. The contributors to this new release include: - Eric Kow - shelarcy - Arie Middelkoop - Mads Lindstroem - Jeremy O'Donoghue - Lennart Augustson The C language binding for wxHaskell was derived from an original C language binding created for the Eiffel programming language by the ELJ project (http://elj.sourceforge.net). -- Jeremy O'Donoghue [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
