My thanks to Mark Davies for upgrading our kde packages to 3.5.5, to
Adam Ciarcinski for upgrading our PostgreSQL packages, to Matthias
Drochner for upgrading gnome to 2.16.1, and to all the other pkgsrc
developers for their hard work.

The Package of the Month award has a language theme this month, and is
awarded jointly to:

(1) hugs, the functional programming system based on Haskell 98,
nominated by Julio M. Merino Vidal. Julio writes:

	Haskell is a general purpose, purely functional programming
	language.  As a language, it has impressed me as no other in
	the recent years, possibly because its main paradigm was new
	to me.  I find Haskell to be very clean and its standard
	modules library seems fairly complete.  As regards Hugs, it is
	a Haskell interpreter providing an almost complete
	implementation of Haskell 98.  It has improved a lot in the
	recent years.  The interpreter now supports most of the
	standard libraries which provide a lot of useful functionality
	to the programmer.

(2) arena, an ANSI C-like scripting language, nominated by, um,
myself.

	The arena language is an impressive scripting language based
	on ANSI-C, but extended to have some object-oriented methods
	and a very clever native-language calling interface which
	requires no extra glue in order to call functions in
	third-party libraries - the functions can be called directly
	from the arena script.  This is the most fun I've had with my
	clothes on in years.

	Memo to self - must try this with clothes off.
