v0.5.4 (November 2023)

This has been the "dev" version after v0.5.2 for almost a couple of years:

• report invalid theories-from-testing
• weed-out some redundant candidates:
  • add and use isRedundantDefn
  • update how deconstructions are handled
• add (but not use) conjureSize to Conjurable

v0.5.2 (March 2022)

• show number of tested candidates
• complete Conjurable derivation functions
• reference related work on README
• add switch to unique-modulo-testing candidates (slow) to allow computing the near upper/lower limit on pruning

v0.5.0 (September 2021)

• allow synthesizing/conjuring from properties with conjureFromSpec;
• complete Haddock documentation;
• remove several unused functions;
• add stub conjurableDerive functions;
• Makefile: add targets to run GPS(2) and TerpreT benches.

v0.4.4 (September 2021)

• remove need for explicit deconstructions:
  • use - and 1 instead of dec;
  • allow mod and div as deconstructions;
• bump Express requirement to v1.0.6 (bugfix);
• complete the GPS1 benchmark;
• add GPS2 and TerpreT benchmarks;
• minor fixes in the README.

v0.4.2 (August 2021)

• default to using top-level patterns on generated functions;
• memoize function evaluation;
• double-check theory at the end and report warning on incorrect properties;
• add prif to Conjure;
• simplify deconstructor discovery and add conjureSize to Conjurable;
• add cevaluate, ceval and cvl to Conjure.Conjurable;
• add bench/gps and bench/lowtests;
• improve tests and benchmarks.

v0.4.0 (July 2021)

• background primitives are now provided with pr and prim.
• report number of rules used in pruning
• require Express v1.0.4 and Speculate v0.4.12
• allow .. notation
• add benchmarks, replicate, subset, p12, p30 and candidates
• add and use the Defn type and conjureDefns
• minor changes in benchmarks
• cleanup unused code

v0.3.6 (June 2021)

• add switch for descending recursions to allow generation of gcd
• refactor recursion generation (replace a hole later)
• change conjpureWith to take Args
• rename two args fields to maxBodyRecursions and maxEvalRecursions at this point, the old names were misnomers.

v0.3.4 (June 2021)

• reallow recursions under && and || (simplifies the generated or, and, set and elem functions)
• only require deconstructions on a non-empty subset of arguments (allows fib01 to be produced)
• limit number of terminal evaluations in recursiveToDynamic
• fix bug in recursiveToDynamic (not counting some recursions)
• add 4 new benchmarks: count, gcd, tree and setelem

v0.3.2 (June 2021)

• significant runtime reduction in several benchmarks, e.g.:
  • take is now reachable in about 5 seconds
• improved candidate generation:
  • faster runtime
  • fewer redundant/invalid candidates
• limit recursive calls to use deconstructors
  • test to find deconstructors automatically
• improve recursion evaluation method (revaluate replaces recursexpr)
• add fibonacci benchmark
• minor:
  • record runtimes with one decimal place instead of two
  • add longshot benchmark
  • add intercalate to the list benchmark
  • add stub Conjure.Constructors module

v0.3.0 (May 2021)

• only automatically include an if for the return type of the given function
• add the take-drop benchmark
• make bottom-up enumeration more type directed

v0.2.8 (May 2021)

• export the A, B, C, D, E and F helper types

v0.2.6 (May 2021)

• require Express v0.1.10 due to hasHole being now exported there
• require Eq result on conjure1, conjure2 and conjure3
• code cleanup and more tests

v0.2.4 (May 2021)

• allow conjuring from specifications in addition to partial definitions (conjure1, conjure2, conjure3 and related functions)
• improve examples
• improve criteria for automatic primitive inclusion:
  • only include if :: ... -> Bool if there are Bool primitives
  • include False and True automatically only on Speculate's background
• add code-optional candidate nubbing and debug functions

v0.2.2 (May 2021)

• by default, search for 60 argument combinations among 100000 enumerated combinations

v0.2.0 (May 2021)

• search until 100% match is found and exit

v0.1.2 (April 2021)
