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. \FurtherReading \url{http://www.mew.org/~kazu/proj/ghc-mod/en/}
