What is the correct name for Hugs?

We use “Hugs” as a generic name for the interpreters we build. We use a name like “Hugs 1.3”, “Hugs 1.4”, or “Hugs 98” if we want to identify a version of Hugs that is based on a specific version of Haskell like “Haskell 1.3”, “Haskell 1.4”, or “Haskell 98”. So please note that the “1.4” part in a name like “Hugs 1.4” refers to the version of Haskell, and not to the version of Hugs. We use release dates to identify specific Hugs releases. For example, if you report a bug in the most recent release, be sure to mention that you observed the problem with the “Hugs 98, Sep 1999” release.
