I'm pleased to announce the 0.5 release of the Yi editor.
## Yi Yi is a text editor written and extensible in Haskell. The long-term goal of the Yi project is to provide the editor of choice for Haskell programmers. Yi is not a finished product. This is a beta-quality release. However, Yi has become a lot more usable than previously, so if you feel like testing it, now might be a good time to take a look. ## Installation Using cabal install: cabal install yi-0.5.0.1 If you want unix console support, pass the -fvty option to cabal install. ## Features * A purely functional editor core * Key-bindings written as parsers of the input * Emacs, Vim and partial Cua emulations provided by default * Unix Console front-end (Gtk2Hs frontend is not supported in this release) * Static configuration (XMonad style) for fast load * Haskell support: * Lexical highlighting * Layout-aware parenthesis-matching * Auto-indentation * cabal-build within the editor ## Links * [download](http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/yi) * [FAQ](http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yi/FAQ) * [homepage](http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yi) * [blog and release notes](http://yi-editor.blogspot.com/) * [check and report issues](http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/list) * [darcs repository](http://code.haskell.org/yi) * [get involved](mailto:[hidden email]) ## Credits This release is brought to you by: * Allan Clark * Corey O'Connor * Gustav Munkby * Gwern Branwen * Jean-Philippe Bernardy * Jeff Wheeler * Nicolas Pouillard * Thomas Schilling * Tristan Allwood and all the contributors to the previous versions. _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [hidden email] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell |

and..
integrated compiler error location in source code; Very important for rapid application development and overall: Integrated GHCI debugger: VERY important for Haskell Newbies. for understanding the haskell execution strategy. for interactive teaching. 2008/10/8 Jean-Philippe Bernardy <[hidden email]> I'm pleased to announce the 0.5 release of the Yi editor. _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [hidden email] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell |
