ANNOUNCE: GreenCard 3.00 (alpha release)

                           Green Card 3.00
        A Foreign Function Interface Preprocessor for Haskell

In preparation for a major release of Green Card, we are making an alpha 
release for GHC folk to play with.

GreenCard is a foreign function interface pre-processor for Haskell.
GreenCard 3.00 has been updated to work with Haskell compilers that
support the foreign function interface and hierarchial libraries.

The major changes from the 2.x series of GreenCard are:

 - Support for hierarchial module names.
 - The StdDIS module has been renamed Foreign.GreenCard.
 - Support for all the types provided by the FFI specification.
 - Removed deprecated types like Addr: use the Ptr type provided
   by the FFI specification.
 - The Hugs and NHC-specific backends has been removed since FFI
   support renders it irrelevant.

Pointers to downloadable distributions, documentation etc.
is available via the Green Card home page:

Please send any bug reports or suggestions for improvements to
Alastair Reid <alastair at reid-consulting-uk.ltd.uk>.

Enjoy!
