-{\tt ghc-mod} is a package to enrich Haskell programming on editors including Emacs, Vim and Sublime. The {\tt ghc-mod} package on Hackage includes the {\tt ghc-mod} command, new {\tt ghc-modi} command and Emacs front-end. 
+For a long time, Kazu Yamamoto is the only active developer of ghc-mod.
+Now two new developers joined:
 
-Emacs front-end provides the following features:
+Alejandro Serrano merged his results of Google Summer of Code. He
+implements case splitting and sophisticated type hole handling.
+Daniel Gröber brushed up the internal code by bringing the GhcMod
+monad. So, the API of \texttt{ghc-mod} drastically changed.
+The result was released \texttt{ghc-mod} version 5.0
 
-\begin{description}
-\item[Completion] You can complete a name of keyword, module, class, function, types, language extensions, etc.
+\texttt{ghc-modi} used to suffer from inconsistency if an environment
+changes.  For instance, file names of modules change, new dependencies
+are added to its cabal file, new libraries are installed, and so on.
+\texttt{ghc-modi} v5.1.1 or later captures this kind of changes and
+restarts a new session.
 
-\item[Code template] You can insert a code template according to the position of the cursor. For instance, {\tt import Foo (bar)} is inserted if {\tt bar} is missing.
-
-\item[Syntax check] Code lines with error messages are automatically highlighted. You can display the error message of the current line in another window. {\tt hlint} %\cref{hlint} 
-can be used instead of GHC to check Haskell syntax. 
-
-\item[Document browsing] You can browse the module document of the current line either locally or on Hackage.
-
-\item[Expression type] You can display the type/information of the expression on the cursor. 
-\end{description}
-
-\noindent
-There are two Vim plugins:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item ghcmod-vim
-\item syntastic
-\end{itemize}
-
-\noindent
-Here are new features:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item New {\tt ghc-modi} command provides a persistent session to make response time drastically faster. So, now you can use Emacs front-end without stress.
-\item Emacs front-end provides a way to solve the import hell.
-\item GHC 7.8 is supported.
-\end{itemize}
+Kazu stepped down from the release manager and Daniel took it over.
