ANNOUNCING  Happy 1.8  - The LALR(1) Parser Generator for Haskell
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm pleased to announce version 1.8 of Happy, the parser generator
system for Haskell.  Changes in this version, relative to version 1.6
(the previous full release):

         * Parser table compression, and more efficient
           table encoding when used with GHC.  Large grammars
           can now be compiled in much less time/space than
           before using GHC.

         * Yacc-style operator precedence, thanks to patches
           from Hermann Oliveira Rodrigues <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
           and Josef Svenningsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

         * A debug option which causes the generated parser to
           print tracing information at each step during parsing.

Happy is available in source form, which can be compiled with GHC
version 4.xx (4.08 recommended), and we also provide binaries for
various architectures.  The Happy homepage with links to the various
distributions lives at:
