VHS 0.1
_____________________________________________

  VHS intends to support a productive use of
Haskell through Visual Studio .NET extension,
spreading around the utilization of the language
and expanding its application boundaries.

  Plase note that this is an alpha (preview)
version of VHS, which may cause a VS.NET session
to become unstable if you create Haskell projects
and/or open Haskell files!

4. Known issues and bugs

   - A VS.NET session can become unstable if
     you open a .hs file or create a Haskell
     Console Application project.
   - After opening a .hs file, the devenv.exe
     process is not being killed when VS.NET
     exists. But you can kill it via Windows
     Task Manager.
   - Some features are not working in an
     "inter-module fashion".
   - Some features are not working properly if
     the haskell module under development has
     errors.
   - The Visual Haskell logo does not disappear
     from VS.NET splash screen after uninstall.
