Welcome Haskell Mode users,

Haskell Mode continues to receive contributions, improvements,
compatibility fixes and new features. This article summarizes developments
that have happened during last month, that is April 2015.

is Haskell Mode?

Haskell Mode is an umbrella name for multiple Emacs tools for Haskell
development. Haskell Mode is an open source project developed by a group of
volunteers. For more information see https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode
.

developments

There was no a single most interesting development this time as we
continued to improve quality of Haskell Mode in multiple places. Areas that
received attention include font locking, Unicode symbols, interactive mode,
cabal integration, presentation mode and even a Windows compatibility fix.

Some of Haskell Mode project procedures were documented, have a look
at our main
wiki page <https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki>.

project focus

Current project focus
<https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Project-focus> is lowering
the entry barrier for new users, new issue reporters and first time
contributors.

Goal: 100 haskell-mode contributors.

A 'contributor' is measured according to github stats at
https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/graphs/contributors

Current status is 86/100.
