## Anticipated future breaking changes

## 0.5.2.0

- Fixed up IsSuperset type family improving transitivity
- added `_mkEncoding1` `runEncoding1'` functions that show equivalence of `Encoding` to one level encoding
- added convenience one level encoding conversion functions
- base64-bytestring deps relaxed

## 0.5.1.0

- "r-B64" added
- @implVerifyR@ convenience function added to 'Data.TypedEncoding.Instances.Support.Encode'

## 0.5.0

### Changes on a high level

- Most of the changes should not create a big impact on upgrading.  Many definitions were moved to a different module but these modules are and had been re-exported by either `Data.TypedEncoding` or
`Data.TypedEncoding.Instances.Support`
- Some functionality has been moved to Examples or removed, notably:
  - "do-" encodings
  - `SomeEnc`, `SomeAnnotation`
  - `HasA` typeclass
- Some functions have been renamed or type signatures adjusted to follow consistent naming conventions.  In most cases the changes have been made on previously deprecated definitions.


###  Details 

- Data.TypedEncoding.Instances.Do.Sample moved to Examples
- Examples.TypedEncoding folder re-org

## 0.4.2

- `Data.TypedEncoding.Instances.Support.Bool` combinators ("r-bool" remains experimental)
- Correction in `r-ban` error message typo ("'G' not bounded by 'F'")
- `_implEncFromString` creates "r-" encoding from `FromEncString` definition
- property changes: `propEncodesIntoCheck` added; `propSuperset'`,  `propEncodesInto'` deprecated

## 0.4.1

- Code Changes. Backward compatible
   - changed order in `IsSuperset` definition to speed up compilation of of more common cases (there is a small chance that it impacts GHC error messages)
   - Faster "r-UTF8", possible issue is changed error message in case ByteString is invalid.
   - Deprecated 'validFromEnc' for its confusing name
   - Deprecated `runDecodings` in favor of consistently named `runDecodings'`
   - Deprecated `runDecoding` in favor of consistently named `runDecoding'`
   - Deprecated `runValidation` in favor of consistently named `runValidation'`

- Documentation / code comment fixes and improvements.

- New functionality `validRFromEnc'` replacing 'validFromEnc' confusing name
  - `propCompEncoding` property
  - `propSupersetCheck` property
  - `propSafeDecoding'` properties
  - `propSafeValidatedDecoding` properties
  - `IsEnc` type family and `Encoding` constraint
  - `getUncheckedPayload` function
  - `pack` and `unpack` overloads in `Data.TypedEncoding.Conv.ByteString.Char8`

- Fixes
  - corrected `propEncodesInto'` property test specification


## 0.4

- Breaking 
  - IsSupersetOpen type family type arguments have changed

- Potentially Breaking  
  (These changes should be backward compatible in almost all cases):
  - Stronger (more precise) constraints on all functions `Data.TypedEncoding.Conv`
  - Compilation errors emitted from `IsSuperset` are different
  - "r-ban" now only allows ASCII chars in annotation name, errors-out otherwise
   
- New
  - `"r-CHAR8"` phantom restriction and `Superset` modified for "r-CHAR8"
  - `"r-UNICODE.D76"` /text/ character set restriction and `Superset` modifications
  - `Superset` constraint added back (different than in 0.2)
  - properties for `Superset` testing
  - `"r-ByteRep"` annotation used as a marker of low level use of `Char` instead of `Word8` for `ByteString` work.

- Improved:
  - `Data.TypedEncoding.Conv` `Text`, `String` and `ByteString` conversions are now more type safe and less error prone.
    Conversion functions are reversible, A to B to C diagrams commute.

- Fixes:
  - `Data.TypedEncoding.Instances.Restriction.BoundedAlphaNums` `"r-ban"` now verifies `Superset "r-ASCII"`
  
## 0.3.0.2

- Added documentation to `Data.TypedEncoding.Conv` outlining current limitations, challenges of conversions.
- Improved readme


## 0.3.0.1

- Documentation changes / corrections
- New _doctest_ tests
- Haddock coverage and @since flags

## 0.3

- Breaking: Numerous changes on the implementation side, new version should be largely compatible on the call site except
    for small differences in constraints and order for type variables (if `-XTypeApplications` is used).
    See [v3 migration guide](https://github.com/rpeszek/typed-encoding/blob/master/doc/v3ConversionGuide.md).
  - `EncodeFAll`, `DecodeFAll`, `RecreateFAll`, `EncodeF`, `DecodeF`, `RecreateF` replaced with
     `EncodeAll`, `DecodeAll`, `ValidateAll`, `Encode`, `Decode`, `Validate`.
  - functions used to create encoding instances or encoding combinators (e.g. `implEncodeP`) are now more precisely typed
  - `Displ String` instance (used in examples, has been made consistent with Text and ByteString)
  - Modules under `Data.TypedEncoding.Combinators` merged into `Data.TypedEncoding.Instances`.
  - Modules under `Data.TypedEncoding.Internal` have been reorganized and moved outside of `Internal`. Various  changes that make the library easier to navigate. 
    for better navigation and discovery.
  - some previously exported combinators (e.g. `implTranF`) have moved to `Data.TypedEncoding.Instances.Support.Unsafe` 
  - `ToEncString`, `FromEncString` have more type variables and function name but backward compatible functions
    have been provided.  
  - `Superset` typeclass removed, replaced with `IsSuperset` type family.
  - Minor changes in `forall` variable order in combinators for `"r-bool:"` encodings.
  - `Encoder` type removed, replaced by `Encodings`.
  - `checkWithValidationsEnc` combinator renamed to `check`
  - (Considered private) `MkCheckedEnc` constructor became `UnsafeMkCheckedEnc`
  - (Considered private) `MkEnc` constructor became `UnsafeMkEnc`
 
- new functionality
  - new types and typeclasses are based on both encoding name and algorithm name allowing
    typeclass definitions for open encodings like `"r-ban:"` that can contain arbitrary symbol literals. 
  - new set of combinators grouped into `_` (compiler decided algorithm), `'` (program specifies algorithm), and
    `algorithm name ~ encoding name` categories  
  - `above` combinator subsumes partial encoding / decoding combinators 
  - `EncodingSuperset` class added

  this version preps for some of that (see section above)
