The Haskell Platform is a blessed library and tool suite for Haskell culled from Hackage, along with installers for a wide variety of systems. It saves developers work picking and choosing the best Haskell libraries and tools to use for a task.", Item "GHC version 6.10.3" "Ian Lynagh" "[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general/17178 announced] the release of [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ GHC 6.10.3]. This release contains a handful of bugfixes relative to 6.10.2 and better line editing support in GHCi, so updating is recommend.

By subtracting such two tix files, again using Hpc machinery, a tix file representing the expressions used between the times of recording the subtracted tix files is produced. This may be used, for example, to get a better idea of what a long-running program is doing. It could also be used as a profiling tool, getting information about how many times individual expressions are used.", Item "BUG FIX release of regex-tdfa-1.1.2" "ChrisK" "[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/58067 announced] version 1.1.2 of [http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/regex-tdfa regex-tdfa], a bug-fix release.", Item "Silkworm game" "Duane Johnson" "[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/57886 announced] the release of [http://blog.inquirylabs.com/2009/05/02/silkworm-game-written-in-haskell/ Silkworm], a game written in Haskell using [http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Hipmunk Hipmunk] and GLFW." ], HaskellPrime [ ], Libraries [ ], Conferences Nothing [ ], Discussion [ Item "Platform policy question: API compatibility in minor releases" "Duncan Coutts" "began a [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.libraries/11001 discussion] on versioning policies for major and minor releases, for packages included in the Haskell Platform.
