Hi Bulat, > > We are pleased to announce a new minor release of Hugs, fixing a few > > bugs with the May 2006 release, and with libraries roughly matching > > the forthcoming GHC 6.6 release. > > isn't it better to wait until 6.6 release? the libs can still be changed a bit The main purpose of the release is not to match 6.6 libraries, but to fix a few bugs in Hugs, specifically the last release of Windows and Hugs didn't have all the libraries working properly due to a few bugs in the base libraries at that time. There are also a few bugs fixed in WinHugs, and a few makefile issues ironed out, I think. And if the 6.6 libraries change much at this stage, thats a bad sign! (Of course, once your libraries stuff is all finished, compilers may never release with a set of libraries again :) ) Thanks Neil
