(#276) ** 1.16.x 1.16.0 --> 1.16.0.1 =================== Include generated InternalParser.hs in the release tarball (See http://ro-che.info/articles/2014-03-08-happy-alex-ghc-7.8 for details) 1.15.0.1 --> 1.16.0 =================== New language features: * DoRec * Closed type families * GADT records * ExplicitNamespaces * Type equality constraints * PolyKinds * DataKinds * Default associated types * Instance signatures * OVERLAP pragma * Parallel arrays * MINIMAL pragma * Default signatures * Safe Haskell * Binary literals * Qualified record puns * Type splices AST changes: * PatBind no longer contains the optional Maybe Type field. The type signature is now represented as part of the pattern (PatTypeSig) * GuardedAlt and GuardedAlts types are replaced with the isomorphic GuardedRhs and Rhs types * Move parentheses from the Context to Asst type * Change DeclHead and InstHead to make it possible to represent various ways to put parentheses around parts of declarations. Introduce a new type InstRule for the same purpose. * Change representation of negated patterns * Make strictness annotations on data type fields part of those fields' Type Notable bug fixes: * Allow statements, and not just expression, in MultiWayIf conditions * Allow equality constraints when GADTs are enabled * Fix parsing and printing of pragma modifiers, such as CONLIKE * Don't treat 'capi' or 'interruptible' as a keyword except after 'foreign' * Let ImpredicativeTypes imply ExplicitForAll * Let RecursiveDo enable 'rec' keyword * Fix pretty-printing of the unary minus sign * Do not require FlexibleContexts for things like Ord (i Int) => ... * Fix pretty-printing of deriving clauses * Parse "Constraint" as a kind with ConstraintKinds enabled * Support qualified quasi-quoters * Enable ScopedTypeVariables when parsing rules * Only permit record wildcards in last position * Allow n-parameter infix data declaration heads Other changes: * Expose showToken from Language.Haskell.Exts.Lexer * Show instance for SrcLoc and SrcSpan are changed (now they do not contain * field names) * Add DeriveGeneric to known extensions ** 1.15.x 1.15.0 --> 1.15.0.1 =============== * Eliminate inexhaustive patterns (and consequent bugs) * The test suite for 1.15.0 wouldn't build due to a missing file in the source distribution. Fixed. 1.14.0.1 --> 1.15.0 =============== * Add support for extensions: - MultiWayIf - LambdaCase - DataKinds * Remove support for old (deprecated) Generics * Derive GHC's Generic instances for datatypes * Derive some missing Data and Typeable instances * Multiple bug fixes * Add missing Functor and Applicative instances for monads * Remove support for GHCs older than 7.4 ** 1.14.x 1.14.0 --> 1.14.0.1 =============== Nothing has actually changed here (apart from the CHANGELOG). This release is done to include InternalParser.hs generated with happy 1.19 so that it compiles with GHC 7.8. 1.13.6 --> 1.14.0 =============== * Modernize the Extension datatype in L.H.E.Extension, following the lead of Cabal, to allow negative and positive extension modifiers (turning features on and off). You need to worry about backwards-incompatible changes if any of the following pertains to you: 1) If you use the Extension datatype programmatically - it has changed significantly (see documentation). 2) The ParseMode record now has one more field (baseLanguage :: Language), which might give you a type error. 3) The behavior of the (extensions :: [Extension]) field has changed, which could bite you if you pass custom extensions in the ParseMode. Previously, the ParseMode defaulted to the list of extensions accepted by Haskell2010, and if you set the list explicitly you would override this. Now, the defaults are { baseLanguage = Haskell2010, extensions = [] }, and explicitly setting a list of extensions will be interpreted on top of Haskell2010. See further the documentation for L.H.E.Extension. * Add support for the 'capi' calling convention. It is enabled with the CApiFFI extension. It's been included since GHC 7.4, and advertised since 7.6. * Add support for the 'interruptible' FFI safety annotation, enabled with the InterruptibleFFI extension. * Give better error message when lexing newline fails. In particular, fix the bug when the parser would crash if the file didn't end with a newline. * Support unboxed tuple expressions and patterns. * Fix bug in lexing of primitive integer literals in hex or octal notation. * Disallow negative primitive word literals (such as W# (-0x8000000000000000##)). * Allow phase control for SPECIALIZE pragma. * Derive Foldable and Traversable instances for all annotated AST types. * Fix bug with pretty-printing WARNING and DEPRECATED pragmas. ** 1.13.x 1.13.5 --> 1.13.6 =============== * Allow 0-parameter type classes when MultiParamTypeClasses is on. * Add support for NondecreasingIndentation. Previously it was always on, which is the default behavior in GHC. Now it is on only if enabled, or when using the newly added ghcDefaults extension set (instead of haskell2010). 1.13.4 --> 1.13.5 =============== * Expose Language.Haskell.Exts.Lexer, which implements a standalone token stream lexer. The module is re-exported both by Language.Haskell.Exts and by Language.Haskell.Exts.Annotated. 1.13.3 --> 1.13.4 =============== * Fix bug where operators starting with # written in parentheses would not be parsed when UnboxedTuples is turned on. Now works. * Allow 'family' and 'forall' as (non-type) varid's. This adds one more shift/reduce conflict to the parser, and its resolution means that '{-# RULES "name" forall = ... #-}' is not allowed. * Complete the set of FFI calling conventions from the Haskell 2010 report (even if no compiler implements them). Also include the 'js' calling convention, supported by UHC. 1.13.2 --> 1.13.3 =============== * Fundep premises are now allowed to be empty. * Fix the bug where the lexer would crash on a LINE pragma that did not include a line number. * Fix the bug where the lexer would require the # of a MagicHash-style type constructor to be succeeded by at least one character in the file. * Fix long-standing bug where the parser would crash with an ugly "Internal error" error message if encountering an extra }. * Report errors at the right place for function arity mismatches. Earlier they were reported at end of file, now they are reported where the function is declared. * Lexer now properly fails on line-breaks in string literals. * Lexer now handles character escapes up to 0x10FFFF (unicode). 1.13.1 --> 1.13.2 =============== * Fix the bug with the precedence of unary prefix minus. Previously it was resolved as binding more tightly than any infix operator, now it is correctly treated as having the same fixity as binary infix minus. 1.13.0 --> 1.13.1 =============== * Allow an optional semi before the closing tag of an element. This achieves a similar effect for XmlSyntax in do blocks as DoAndIfThenElse does for the if construct. No more need to indent the closing tag one step further than the opening tag. * Add a dummy 'noLoc :: SrcLoc' to L.H.E.SrcLoc, to use when generating code. It could definitely be done more elegantly, but not without inducing another major version bump, so later. * Fix a regression from 1.11.x where the parser would crash upon encountering non-simple class/data declaration heads, e.g. 'data A [a]'. Now fails with a parse error as intended. 1.12.0 --> 1.13.0 =============== * Add extensions DoAndIfThenElse and NPlusKPatterns to Language.Haskell.Exts.Extensions. * DoAndIfThenElse is now supported, at long last, making HSE compatible with Haskell2010 * Introduce haskell98 and haskell2010 extension groups, exported from Language.Haskell.Exts.Extensions. * Backwards-incompatible change: default parse mode is now to use haskell2010, which means the following features are recognized by default: DoAndIfThenElse, PatternGuards, ForeignFunctionInterface, EmptyDataDecls. NPlusKPatterns is no longer recognized by default. ** 1.12.x 1.11.1 --> 1.12.0 =============== * Move from old [$...| quasi-quote syntax to the new [...| one. The old syntax is still recognized while parsing. * Allow symbols as variables when TypeOperators is enabled. * Rename ExplicitForall in ExplicitForAll, to be consistent with GHC and the Haskell' process. ** 1.11.x 1.10.2 --> 1.11.1 =============== * API change: the fixities field in ParseMode is now of type Maybe [Fixity]. If the field is Nothing the parsing will not try to do any fixity resolution whatsoever, otherwise it behaves as before. * API change, bug fix: The Fixity type contains a QName rather than an Op to name the operator. The operator must match the given QName exactly (i.e., unqualified names only match unqualified names, and qualified names only match qualified names) for applyFixities to perform fixups. * Bug fix: End-of-file inside an OPTIONS pragma no longer loops. ** 1.10.x 1.10.1 --> 1.10.2 =============== * Fix a missing case in the Functor declaration for Decl. Thanks to Malcolm Wallace for the patch! 1.10.0 --> 1.10.1 =============== * Enable the unicode version of DoubleColon (x2237). Thanks to Andr�s Sicard-Ram�rez for the patch! 1.9.6 --> 1.10.0 =============== * Ensure that implied extensions are always picked up, not only when using the parseFile* family of functions as previously. * Add the newly devised <%>...</%> syntax to the XmlSyntax support. This causes changes to pretty much everything, including adding a case to the AST which prompts the major version bump. ** 1.9.x 1.9.5 --> 1.9.6 =============== * Fix a bug (#203) where the lexer loops on malformed quasi-quoters. * Fix a bug with pretty-printing RULES pragmas. 1.9.4 --> 1.9.5 =============== * Fix a bug where deriving clauses for GADT-style data declarations were not properly indented. * Pretty-printing patterns is now more accurate in inserting (and not inserting) parentheses when needed. 1.9.3 --> 1.9.4 =============== * Pretty-printer now inserts parentheses in clever places when printing kinds. * Pretty-printing expressions is now far more accurate in inserting (and not inserting) parentheses when needed. * Pretty-printing negative expressions no longer inserts a superfluous space between the - and the expression. 1.9.2 --> 1.9.3 =============== * Constructors for newtype declarations must now have exactly one argument. This is only when using the classic syntax, not with GADT-style syntax. * Fix a bug where preceding commas in tuple sections were counted one too few. 1.9.1 --> 1.9.2 =============== * Fix a bug with pretty-printing lexer tokens. * Fix a bug where non-colon TypeOperators could not be used in prefix mode. 1.9.0 --> 1.9.1 =============== * Export parseFileContentsWithExts from .Exts. 1.8.2 --> 1.9.0 =============== * OptionPragma is renamed to the more descriptive ModulePragma, and adds a constructor AnnModulePragma for handling ANN pragmas preceding module header. * Add instances for Eq/Ord/Data/Typeable for Fixity. * Add 'parseFileWithComments' and 'parseFileContentsWithComments' to L.H.Exts . * More informative error messages when HSX tags are mismatched. ** 1.8.x 1.8.1 --> 1.8.2 =============== * Don't insert redundant parentheses around record constructions and updates. 1.8.0 --> 1.8.1 =============== * Fix three bugs with the handling of ANN. I must have been really tired when implementing that support. 1.7.2 --> 1.8.0 =============== * Add an instance Show Fixity (derived). * Support for the new ANN and INLINE_CONLIKE pragmas. * Export knownExtensions from .Extension. * Remove support for CFILES and INCLUDE pragmas. The support wasn't correct anyway, as it assumed the pragmas appeared at the top of files. As CFILES/INCLUDE pragmas can (and do) appear anywhere, there's no hope to support them in the AST. Better to remove the support altogether. Files with CFILES/INCLUDE pragmas can still be parsed of course, but those pragmas will be handled as comments. * Parsing with ignoreLinePragmas = False now correctly updates the file name. * Allow the whole SPECIALISE/INLINE family of pragmas in instance declarations. The InsInline constructor is removed, and is now represented by InsDecl (InlineSig ...). * Fix a bug with line numbering and quasi quotes, and a similar one with line numbering and CDATA. * Fix a few minor bugs in the exactPrinter. * Fix the strange handling of so called strings in LINE pragmas. ** 1.7.x 1.7.1 --> 1.7.2 =============== * Fixes a bug in lexing LINE pragmas (used when ignoreLinePragmas is set to False). 1.7.0 --> 1.7.1 =============== * UnicodeSyntax now also enables the forall symbol (U+2200). 1.6.1 --> 1.7.0 =============== * Operators defined on the form (a `op` b) c = ... could not be handled by the (annotated) AST, nor the parser. I had to change the definition of the AST node for InfixMatch to allow a list of right-hand subpatterns, i.e. InfixMatch l (Pat l) (Name l) (Pat l) ... has become InfixMatch l (Pat l) (Name l) [Pat l] ... I also had an epiphany and fixed the issue that would arise with exact printing of prefix definitions including parentheses, so that now works too! ** 1.6.x 1.6.0 --> 1.6.1 =============== * UnicodeSyntax now works not only for identifiers, but also for ->, <- and =>, as well as Arrows arrows and kind stars. 1.5.3 --> 1.6.0 =============== * (=~=) turns out to be too general at Functor (for intuitive and not technical reasons), so is specialised to Annotated to closer mirror the original intention. * applyFixities is hoisted to a monad, and now fails on ambiguous infix expressions. ** 1.5.x 1.5.2 --> 1.5.3 =============== * Several small bug fixes in the exact printer, and fail more gracefully if the number of srcInfoPoints doesn't match the needs of the node. 1.5.1 --> 1.5.2 =============== * Fix a bug in the exact printer that made it always print the first token at position (0,0). * In fixing the above, Annotated is now a superclass of ExactP. It was already a superclass in spirit, and nothing can break from this since ExactP is only exported abstractly. 1.5.0 --> 1.5.1 =============== * The pretty printer now introduces parentheses for non-atomic arguments to function application. Note that infix applications are left untouched, no parentheses will be inserted there, as it is assumed that fixities are already properly resolved. * Fix a bug in the pretty printer where view patterns and n+k patterns were not properly parenthesised. 1.4.0 --> 1.5.0 =============== * Add support for acting on LINE pragmas while parsing, i.e. updating the source position according to info given in LINE pragmas. This is done conditionally based on a new flag ignoreLinePragmas in the ParseMode, hence the need to increase the major version. ** 1.4.x 1.3.5 --> 1.4.0 =============== * The AST node for Proc in the simple AST is changed to include a SrcLoc argument, to make it consistent with similar nodes e.g. Lambda. This is specifically needed for transformation of patterns in HSX. ** 1.3.x 1.3.4 --> 1.3.5 =============== * Added an entry point in the parser for statements, and an instance Parseable Stmt to go with it. * Ensured that .Annotated exports all relevant parseXXX(WithYYY) functions. 1.3.3 --> 1.3.4 =============== * Operator fixities are now resolved in patterns. 1.3.2 --> 1.3.3 =============== * Fixes a bug where qualified keywords are rejected even if the extension that enables the keyword in question is not turned on. 1.3.0 --> 1.3.2 =============== (Let's forget 1.3.1 ever existed.) * Fix a bug where declarations of infix operators were not properly merged as FunBinds.
