Changes in 2.8.0 (since 2.7.0)

See also detailed Git history.

  • Minimal indentation support for arrow syntax
  • Avoid opening a new inf-haskell window if one is already visible. Windows on other virtual desktops or iconified frames don’t count.
  • Force comint-process-echoes to nil
  • Autolaunch haskell-mode for files starting with #!/usr/bin/runghc and similar
  • Added minimal major mode for parsing GHC core files, courtesy of Johan Tibell. There is a corresponding Haskell menu entry.
  • Allow configuration of where-clause indentation; M-x customize-group haskell-indentation.

Changes since 2.6.4

  • fill-paragraph (M-q) now only affects comments, and correctly handles Haddock commentary. adaptive-fill-mode is turned off, as it was interfering.
  • Yet more unicode symbols
  • Better support for unicode encoding of haskell source files
  • mdo correctly indented
  • Indentation fixes, fixes to the fixes, and fixes to the fixes to the fixes
  • New command: M-x haskell-check, calls (by default) hlint on the current file. Also bound to C-c C-v.

    You can also use the flymake minor mode with this.

Changes since 2.5.1

  • Parser corrections for haskell-indentation and haskell-decl-scan
  • haskell-indentation: Pressing tab in the rightmost position now moves to the leftmost, by default with a warning.
  • Typo fix: One haskell-indentation variable had ended up in the haskell-ntation customize group.
  • haskell-hoogle aliased to hoogle, haskell-hayoo aliased to hayoo
  • Courtesy of Alex Ott:
    • Additional unicode symbols for font-lock-symbols: () == /= >= <= !! && || sqrt
    • M-x haskell-hayoo search added, opens using browse-url
    • Bug-fix for inferior-haskell-type
  • If haskell-indentation errors out, it now fail-safes to inserting a literal newline or deleting one character, for return and backspace respectively.

Changes since 2.4:

  • haskell-indentation, a new minor mode for indentation.

Changes since 2.3:

  • Update license to GPLv3.
  • New derived major mode for .hsc files.
  • Removed the C-c C-r binding to reload a file. You can still call inferior-haskell-reload-file (and/or bind it to your favorite key, including C-c C-r) or you can now use C-u C-c C-l.
  • C-c C-d looks up the symbol at point in the Haddock docs.
  • Haddock comments are highlighted with font-lock-doc-face if it exists.
  • Use `tex’ rather than `latex’ for haskell-literate.
  • inf-haskell.el tries to find the root of the module hierarchy to determine the root of a project (either by looking for a Cabal file or relying on the `module’ declaration line). If all works well, this will make C-c C-l automatically switch to the root dir, so that dependencies in other directories are automatically found. If it doesn’t, complain and/or set inferior-haskell-find-project-root to nil.
  • The new command haskell-hoogle helps you query Hoogle from Emacs.

Changes since 2.2:

  • Trivial support for Cabal package description files.
  • Minor bug fixes.

Changes since 2.1:

  • There are now commands to find type and info of identifiers by querying an inferior haskell process. Available under C-c C-t, C-c C-i, and C-c M-.
  • Indentation now looks back further, until a line that has no indentation. To recover the earlier behavior of stopping at the first empty line instead, configure haskell-indent-look-past-empty-line.
  • inf-haskell can wait until a file load completes and jump directly to the first error, like haskell-ghci and haskell-hugs used to do. See the var inferior-haskell-wait-and-jump.

Changes since 2.0:

  • inf-haskell uses ghci if hugs is absent.
  • Fix up some binding conflicts (C-c C-o in haskell-doc)
  • Many (hopefully minor) changes to the indentation.
  • New symbols in haskell-font-lock-symbols-alist.

Changes since 1.45:

  • keybindings C-c <char> have been replaced by C-c C-<char> so as not to collide with minor modes.
  • The following modules are now automatically activated without having to add anything to haskell-mode-hook: haskell-font-lock (just turn on global-font-lock-mode). haskell-decl-scan (just bind `imenu’ to some key).
  • In recent Emacsen, haskell-doc hooks into eldoc-mode.
  • haskell-hugs and haskell-ghci are superceded by inf-haskell.
  • Indentation rules have been improved when using layout inside parens/braces.
  • Symbols like -> and \ can be displayed as actual arrows and lambdas. See haskell-font-lock-symbols.
  • Tweaks to the font-lock settings. Among other things paren-matching with things like \(x,y) should work correctly now.
  • New maintainer <[email protected]>.
