-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 5.00 has been majorly revamped since the previous stable version, 4.08.2.
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 This should be a stable release. Major changes since 4.08.2 are:
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - An interactive system, similar in style to Hugs. You can interactively
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 load and unload modules, run expressions, ask the types of things.
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 Module dependencies are tracked and chased automatically.
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 Combinations of compiled and interprete\hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 d modules may be used.
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 All the GHC libraries are available in interactive mode, as are
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 most of the Glasgow extensions to Haskell 98. Compilation in
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 interactive mode (to bytecode) is about three times faster than
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 compiling to object cod\hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 e.
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Batch compilation of multiple modules at once, with automatic
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 dependency chasing. For large programs this can halve compilation
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 times, and removes the need for Makefiles.
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Enhanced package (library) management system. Packages may\hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 be
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 installed and removed from an installation using the ghc-pkg tool.
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Initial Unicode support - the Char type is now 31 bits.
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Sparc native code generator, giving much faster compilation on sparcs.
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 (Native code generation for x86s has\hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 been available for a while).
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Improved heap profiling - you can restrict heap profiles
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 by type, closure description, cost centre, and module.
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Support for the latest Foreign Function Interface (FFI)
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 proposals. Marcin Kowalczyk's hsc2hs tool is included.
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Language extensions: parallel list comprehensions and functional
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 dependencies.
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - The usual huge collection of bug fixes. Most reported bugs have
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 been fixed.
-\par
-\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 For full details\hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 see the release notes:

+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 stable release (5.00.2). There are no major changes.
+\par
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 Much improved support for Windows platforms. Binary builds are
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 now entirely freestanding. There's no need to install Cygwin or
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 Mingwin to use it. It's a one-click-install-and-off-you-go story now.
+\par
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Several small changes to bring GHC i\hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 nto line with the newest Haskell 98
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 report.
+\par
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - GHCi (the interactive system) now works on Windows.
+\par
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Partial FFI support in GHCi. At the moment, foreign import (both
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 static and dynamic) is supported on x86 and sparc platforms.
+\par
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - A compacting garbage collector, to try and reduce space use.
+\par
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Experimental: partial support for hierarchical module names.
+\par
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 - Experimental: following heroic hacking by Ken Shan, 5.02 now
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 works on Alpha (Tru64 only). Many 64-bit bugs \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 have been shaken
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 out. At the moment only the batch-mode compiler works -- no GHCi
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 or native code generator yet.
+\par
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 We've found and fixed more bugs than you could possibly imagine. A
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 big thank-you to all those who reported bugs in the 5.00.X \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 series. We
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 claim to have fixed almost all reported bugs. In general we've spent
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 a large amount of effort trying to improve the stability of the
+\par \hich\af27\dbch\af23\loch\f27 system relative to 5.00.X. (Famous last words ...)
