This is version 0.10 of the Glorious Glasgow Haskell compilation
system (GHC). (Haskell is "the" standard lazy functional programming
language [see SIGPLAN Notices, May 1992], and GHC is a batch compiler
that works on Sun4s.)
Version 0.10 is the first GHC release that is suitable for general
use, so you should consider it to be of "alpha-test" quality. It is
profoundly improved since our last announced release (a "hacker's"
release), 0.06, in April, 1992. The file "ANNOUNCE-0.10" has more
info.
Documentation of interest:
* docs/release_notes/release.{dvi,info}: A quick summary of the State
of Play. Especially important are the list of extra features of
this system, as well as a list of shortcomings in the system (often
with workarounds).
The document, as with many others, is in TeX-produced DVI format
(.dvi suffix), or GNU Info format (.info); the latter is close to
plain ASCII, if that's what you want.
* docs/install_guide/installing.{dvi,info}: This document will guide
you through configuring, building, and installing the system.
* docs/users_guide/user.{dvi,info}: This document will help you
"drive" the compilation system; e.g., what options are available,
how to cope with common problems, how to use the profiling
facilities, etc.
* docs/README: There is much documentation in this release; this
README file is an "index" of all documentation, old and new, good
and bad.
We are exceedingly interested in your comments and suggestions about
this software! Please do not suffer or grumble in silence. The "bug
reports" section of the User's Guide
(docs/users_guide/user.{dvi,info}) says what we would like to know
when you report a problem.
Many thanks to the brave users of the pre-releases of this software.
