I have finally released HPDF 1.1 with some typesetting features. More details are in this post. It is very experimental but working. I am not happy at all with the API of HPDF but I have no choice. I need, for another project, to add features as fast as possible. I'll think about the elegance of the API later even if I need to change lots of things in HPDF (not really a good development methodology I agree). In addition to the typesetting features, I corrected lots of problems, optimized the code and changed a little bit the image API.

I am pleased to release a new version of my PDF library for Haskell and an example showing what's possible with the library : a magazine generated in an automatic way with Haskell. The parsing for the magazine has not yet been debugged totally and the image layout algorithm is currently very simple. The text formatting in columns is not always ok because I have not yet implemented an hyphenation algorithm. But, the result, still in beta, is good.
