Welcome Haskell Mode users,

Haskell Mode progress report for February 2016.

For previous issue see January 2016.

Reddit discussion.

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

Important developments

Fontification received improvements so that it closer follows Haskell lexical rules. It was necessary to change to syntax-propertize-function available only starting with Emacs 24. There was already an improvement to how modules are shown:
