There seem to be two serious known bugs in Hugs on Windows: * The wrapper FFI doesn't work. This means that the Win32 library and the OpenGL library probably don't work (along with any other libraries that use wrappers). I don't know if it ever worked or not, but based on "make check" failures, there is something wrong. * "interact" and "getChar" don't work in CVS WinHugs, but they worked before (right?). This is a regression. "interact" and "getChar" are in the Haskell 98 prelude. I think that implementing the Haskell 98 standard should always be priority #1. When does it suit to release WinHugs? It needs a bit longer for beta testing > etc, but is a Hugs release being planned soon, or should WinHugs be released > separately? How stable is the Hugs code base, i.e. is it release worthy? I think it would be confusing to users to release WinHugs seperately from the command line Hugs. Next weekend I will verify that (Win)Hugs from CVS builds correctly using MS Visual Studio 2003. I would recommend making a test release soon. That way, people downloading WinHugs for their Fall semester CS courses can test it out and report bugs. - Brian _______________________________________________ Cvs-hugs mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-hugs
