Changelog for HList-0.5.0.0
19 Feb 2018
0.5.0 Release
Build & pass tests with ghc-7.6 through 8.4.0.20180209
Add Dredge.hs (ghc>=7.8): access nested records/variants given only the last
label along a path
Move toLabel to another class to allow it to return Labels with
kinds other than Symbol.
tipyLens can now change the element type
Add hTake and hDrop
Use TypeError for prettier error messages in ghc-8.0 (still backwards
compatible)
Improve HFind and HUpdateAtHNat error messages by mentioning the whole
record being changed
22 Dec 2015
0.4.2 Release
Depend on base-orphans to avoid multiple definitions of Typeable '[],
Typeable '(:)
3 Aug 2015
0.4.1 Release
Add RecordU.hs, a record type with elements stored in unboxed arrays
Documentation fixes (Thor Michael Støre)
5 May 2015
0.4 Release
16 Apr 2015
Make tests run (and pass) when called by "runghc Setup test"
Add hNot, and add HNotFD which is injective (unlike the type family)
Replace uses of `HLength xs ~ n` with `HLengthEq xs n`.
15 Mar 2015
Add HCurry.hs.
Redefine Arity such that `Arity f (HSucc HZero)` will refine the
type of `f` to `x -> y`.
SameLabels is generalized so that functions like 'asLabelsOf' do
not need to explicitly convert a that specifies the ordering of
labels. Additional constraints might be needed to restore the old
behavior:
> type SameLabelsOld x y = (HAllTaggedLV x, HAllTaggedLV y, SameLabels x y)
Similarly HExtend instances Proxy intended for making Proxies
used to disambiguate labels (see 'asLabelsOf' again).
Add hMapOutV, zipVR, extendsVariant. Rename the previous
splitVariant to splitVariant1, and use the name splitVariant for
a function that splits a Variant into two Variants.
Add projected to Labelable.hs which allows working on a smaller
Record or Variant.
Add HasFieldM for lookups that return a default value if the
field is missing.
Split HZip into two classes: class HUnzip r x y xy => HZip r x y xy.
This allows instance HUnzip Variant x y xy.
Add Data,Typeable,Enum,Bounded,Ord,Monoid instances for Variant and TIC
Implement HRLabelSet in terms of HLabelSet, which simplifies
inferred types that would otherwise have redundancy (HLabelSet
(LabelsOf r), HRLabelSet r)
Move definitions into FakePrelude, and split up
examples/Properties.hs into separate modules to help with
compilation times when adding new tests.
15 Feb 2015
Change HList to a data family (see comments in HList.hs).
Change the Show instance for TIP and HList to use "," not ", " as the
separator for consistency with Record and ordinary lists.
Parameterize HZip over the collection type to work on Record, TIP as well as
HList.
Add and use HProxies for building the spine of a HList from the type, to avoid
having HLists of undefined/error values somewhere.
Build with ghc-7.10 RC1. RecordU/RecordUS is moved to broken/ instead of
updating it.
9 Sep 2014
Change the ordering of the list produced by HLeftUnion / (.<++.)
to better match hAppend / ++ suggested by the name.
25 Aug 2014
Add HSort, which provides a merge sort and a quick sort.
Support _ (wildcard) with the pun quasiquoter, and make
patterns such as [pun| x y _ |] constrain the Record or Variant
to have at least 3 elements.
Reduce the number of parameters for Labelable
Allow operations with different label kinds (ie.
Record [Tagged 1 x, Tagged "y" Int]) to proceed as expected.
13 Jul 2014
Start RecordU and RecordUS, a variation on Record where the values
are stored in unboxed array(s).
Add Partition, GroupBy and Span.
Add list2HList and isos sameLength and sameLabels.
23 Jun 2014
TIPTransform and TIPTransformM become part of the distribution,
and missing fields are reported with the Fail superclass
technique.
Projection of a TIP to a tuple is reimplemented without an explicit
type signature. The functions are exported as tipyTuple,
tipyTuple3 etc.
Conversion between HLists and up to 6-tuples done with HTuple.
Add ZipVariant, Unvariant, splitVariant, extendVariant,
an instance Eq (Variant v) and an instance Labelable TIC.
Add quickcheck in examples/Properties.hs. Coverage measured with
HPC is about 40%.
5 Jun 2014
Start to parameterize operations on the collection type. This
means that where we previously had HMapCxt f x y another
type parameter with kind [*] -> * is added. This means
previous uses of HMapCxt f x y become HMap HList f x y.
This allows hMap to be used with Record and Variant.
HUpdateAtLabel is similarly generalized.
Rework Variant: the implementation is now similar to Dynamic
and TIC. Likewise, TIP is implemented in terms of Record.
28 May 2014
Add tipyLens and ticPrism.
Add a HExtend instance for Variant.
Add functional dependencies to Labelable (and corresponding
superclasses) to avoid ambiguous types.
26 May 2014
Add prisms for Variant. This adds a dependency on "profunctors".
Parameterize Labelable on the collection type. This allows
labelable labels to be used with RecordS or VariantS, where
the resulting Optic is a Lens or Prism respectively.
Remove recordLabels in favor of labelsOf: a kind variable which
only appears on the RHS required a lengthy type annotation to fix
that variable. Pattern matching to convert a `Label (a :: k)` to
`a :: k` happens later on when another value with kind `k` is a
available on the LHS.
Improve type errors when accessing missing fields when using
Labelable labels. Except for HPrism, the error message contains
`Fail (FieldNotFound "x")`. This involved adding a HUpdateAtLabel
class and HTPupdateAtLabel type which hides the `n` type
variable.
Reduce the number of parameters to HMapCxt. The old version could
be defined in terms of the new version as:
type HMapCxt_old f a b ha hb = (HMapCxt f a b,
HList a ~ ha,
HList b ~ hb)
Reimplement RecordValues in terms of HMap. The original
implementation is kept because it avoids the need for
-XAllowAmbiguousTypes.
Add hMapR and hMapV to map over the values in a Record or the
value in a Variant respectively. These functions are defined in
terms of HFmap which may be useful on it's own.
Add a typeable instance for Label3, and change examples/cmdargs.hs
to use this label kind. This allows the example to work with
ghc-7.8.2 which lacks an instance Typeable (x :: Symbol).
28 Mar 2014

General clean-up, removing obsolete code.
Code re-written up to Records.
25 Oct 2012
hUnfold
hProjectByHNats and hProjectAwayByHNats now take type-level

Beautification, release and tag 0.2.3 by Adam Vogt
26 April 2010
Patches from Adam Vogt to format documentation for Haddoc and
to expose MakeLabels
Release 0.2.1 by Gwern Branwen
29 March 2010
examples/TIPTransformM.hs, the monadic version of
TIPTransform.hs
17 February 2010
Two patches from Adam Vogt to get the code compile on ghc-6.12
and to make Record Typeable instances nonstrict
10-14 January 2010
Reverse parameter order for .@.
Changed fixity <++
Pushed uses of LANGUAGE pragmas further for OOHaskell examples
16 September 2009
Added TypeCastGeneric3, TypeEqGeneric3 -- the instances of
typeCast and TypeEq that don't require separate compilation.
They are like TypeCastGeneric2, TypeEqGeneric2, but integrated
with the FakePrelude.
Added the example file TIPTransform.hs, a variation on the
keyword argument problem posed by Andrew U. Frank.
Adjusted the LANGUAGE pragmas, made the examples run without
the global -fglasgow-exts
15 September 2009
Release 0.2 by Gwern Branwen
11 August 2009
Made the regression tests run again.
Please do "cd examples; make test-ghc"
after any changes.
11 August 2009
Applied a patch from Justin Bailey:
Updated fixity declarations for record operators for
usability and to better match familiar list and
arithmetic operators.
Added Haddock comments for these operators
1 July 2009
Applied a set of four patches by Brian Bloniarz:
Improve error messages from Record functions using the Fail
type class trick
Add hRearrange, to permute a Record by labels
Expose a few hidden modules, needed for HaskellDB
Make hMap, hMapOut & recordLabels maximally lazy
Add recordValues, analogous to recordLabels
29 June 2008
Apply the set of patches by gwern0@gmail.com: moving a few
files around, cleaning up hlist.cabal
3 February 2008
Fifteen patches by gwern0@gmail.com: Data.HList hierarchy,
use of LANGUAGE, -Wall, changes to Cabal files
19 September 2007
Added HMemberM
Optimized record projection in Record.hs. The optimization
should be especially noticeable for record narrowing.
Added NarrowM, which reports both success and failure of narrowing
Added equivR, record equivalence modulo field order, with
witnessing conversions
ConsUnion.hs now checks for record types and treat the latter
equivalent modulo the order of fields. This gives optimized,
shallower unions.
13 September 2007
Added UnionSymRec, the symmetric union of two records. The code
is not very optimal though.
12 September 2007
Added MakeLabels -- Template Haskell code for automatically
generating Labels (as in Label4.hs).
Renaming of (data) types in Records, to more meaningful names.
05 September 2007
Added ConsUnion.hs -- building homogeneous lists of heterogeneous
components by constructing the union on-the-fly.
12 February 2007
Added patches by Einar Karttunen:
Move files to subdirectories
Add Cabal infrastructure and HList.hs
Make it compile with GHC 6.6
31 October 2006
Added HSequence.hs: (monadic) `sequence' for heterogeneous lists.
It is also the illustration of TypeCast.
26 October 2006
Added CHList.hs: Potentially infinite, open, statically
constrained HLists.
30 August 2006
Record.hs: Labels now are exclusively type-level entities with no
run-time representation. The Record API remains the same (although
the implementation had to be adjusted).
31 July 2006
TAG Release-2.0. The HList DARCS repository announced.
22 June 2006
VariantP.hs: Our extensible (variant) list supports the regular
list API.
20 June 2006
Added VariantP.hs -- polymorphic variants as dual of records.
The extensibility problem solved? We can re-use as much as old
code as possible, when extending the variant and extending
the functions to the extended variant (and get the subtyping for
free).
19 June 2006
Added RecordP.hs -- records with unzipped and fully phantom
labels. Added tests as well.
08 May 2006
MainPatternMatch.hs -- example of pattern-matching on HList's
Records
08 February 2006
Primed hMap/HMap as to enable a new native definition
Started ChangeLog, finally.
