[ANNOUNCE] Project:M36 1.2.3 is now available

[A.M.]

Hello List!

Project:M36 v1.2.3 includes a new feature which allows developers to
write and import Haskell modules as-a-whole. This enables developers to
use standard Haskell functions within the database. Here's an example
module:

module TestFuncs (projectM36Functions, apply_discount) where
import ProjectM36.Module

apply_discount :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer
apply_discount age price =
if age <= 10 then
price `div` 2
else
price

The module is imported into a Project:M36 database like this:

loadmodulefromfile "TestFuncs.hs"

Once loaded, the new atom function can be used right away:

ticket_sales := relation{tuple{ticketId 123, base_price 20, actual_price
apply_discount(8,20)}}

This feature should greatly improve the ergonomics of running Haskell
code within Project:M36 databases. Enjoy!
