People often have a problem with pattern match errors, and the only helpful message they get is: 'pattern match error, head []'. The Safe library hopes to eliminate some of the frustration this causes by providing versions of these partial functions with more helpful error messages." , Item "LocH, located errors 0.1" "Don Stewart" "[http://stub announced] the release of LocH, a small Haskell module providing source location-specific error messages and debugging strings for Haskell code. It uses the compiler-expanded 'assert' token, rather than cpp or m4, to provide a lightweight approach to generating source locations. No preprocessor is required. [http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/loch.html More information], and [http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/loch/Debug-Trace-Location.html the API].", Item "darcs 1.0.9rc2" "Tommy Pettersson" "[http://stub announced] it's time for a new darcs release candidate, 1.0.9rc2. There will probably be yet another release candidate (rc3) before final 1.0.9.
