0.5.3 (8 April 2021) -------------------- - `StatefulGen` instances for `RandT` - Addition of `RandGen` - Additioon of `withRandGen` and `withRandGen_` 0.5.2 (24 June 2020) -------------------- - Support for `random-1.2`. - Drop support for GHC 7.4, test with GHC 8.10. 0.5.1.2 (18 Jan 2020) --------------------- - Better error message when total probability sum is negative in fromListMay, weightedMay, weighted 0.5.1.1 (21 May 2018) --------------------- - Only depend on `fail` package when GHC < 8.0. 0.5.1 (9 February 2017) ----------------------- Re-export `System.Random` from `Control.Monad.Random.{Lazy,Strict}` and hence also from `Control.Monad.Random`. - Hackage r1: allow `transformers-compat-0.6.x`. 0.5 (3 January 2017) -------------------- This release has quite a few small additions as well as a big module reorganization. However, thanks to module re-exports, most existing code using the library should continue to work with no changes; the major version bump reflects the large reorganization and my inability to 100% guarantee that existing user code will not break. The biggest changes that may be of interest to users of the library include new lazy vs strict variants of the `Rand` monad; a new `MonadInterleave` class which is a big improvement over `MonadSplit`; new `PrimMonad` instances; and new random selection functions like `weighted`, `weightedMay`, `uniformMay`, *etc.*. See the list below for full details. Although there was some discussion of generalizing `MonadRandom` to work for a wider range of underlying generators (see [#26](https://github.com/byorgey/MonadRandom/issues/26), [#31](https://github.com/byorgey/MonadRandom/issues/31), and [comments on this blog post](https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2016/11/16/monadrandom-0-5-and-mwc-random-feedback-wanted/)), I decided to punt on that for now. It seems rather complicated and there are [already good alternatives](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/random%2Dfu) so I decided to keep things simple for this release. I'm still open to proposals for generalizing future releases. Changes in 0.5 include: - Refactor to reflect structure of `mtl` and `transformers` libraries. - Add lazy and strict variants of `RandT`. - Add `MonadRandom` and `MonadSplit` instances for `ListT`. - Add (but do not export) `unRandT` field to `RandT`. - Add `MonadCont`, `MonadError`, `MonadRWS`, `PrimMonad`, and `MonadFail` instances for `RandT`. - Add `evalRandTIO` operation. - Move `fromList` and `uniform` operations to `Control.Monad.Random.Class`. - `fromList` now raises an error when the total weight of elements is zero. - Generalize the type of `uniform` to work over any `Foldable`. - Add new operations `weighted`, `weightedMay`, `fromListMay`, and `uniformMay`. `weighted` is like `fromList` but generalized to work over any `Foldable`. The `May` variants return a `Maybe` result instead of raising an error. - New `MonadInterleave` class for random monads which can interleave random generation using `split`. In some ways this is similar to `MonadSplit` but much more useful. - Improved documentation. 0.4.2.3 (21 April 2016) ----------------------- - Mark `Control.Monad.Random` as `Trustworthy`. 0.4.2.2 (18 January 2016) ------------------------- - Allow `transformers-0.5`. 0.4.2.1 (16 January 2016) ------------------------- - Allow `transformers-compat-0.5`. 0.4.2 (16 January 2016) ----------------------- - Add `MonadPlus` and `Alternative` instances for `RandT`. 0.4.1 (20 November 2015) ------------------------ - Remove unnecessary `Monad m` constraint from `liftRandT` and `runRandT`. This should again technically require a major version bump, but I'm not doing it this time in the interest of not being super annoying. If this breaks something for you, just yell, and I will deprecate this version and do a proper 0.5 release. 0.4 (12 May 2015) ----------------- - Remove unnecessary `RandomGen g` constraints from `liftRandT`, `liftRand`, `evalRandT`, `evalRand`, `runRandT`, `runRand`. A major version bump is required by the PVP since the types of all the above methods have changed, but this release is again very unlikely to break any client code. 0.3.0.2 (30 March 2015) ----------------------- - Add `transformers-compat` to allow building with newer `mtl` 0.3.0.1 (24 November 2014) -------------------------- - Improve documentation: ranges are exclusive at the upper bound 0.3 (4 September 2014) ---------------------- - Eta-reduce definition of `Rand` - Remove unnecessary `Random a` constraint from types of `liftRand` and `liftRandT`. Note that a major version bump is required by the PVP since the types of `liftRand` and `liftRandT` have changed, but this release is highly unlikely to break any client code. 0.2.0.1 (24 August 2014) ------------------------ - Allow building with both `transformers-0.3` and `0.4`. 0.2 (20 August 2014) -------------------- - change `Rand` from a `newtype` to a type synonym - `MonadRandom` and `MonadSplit` instances for - `ExceptT` - strict variants of `StateT` and `WriterT` - both lazy and strict variants of `RWST` - remove unneeded `RandomGen` constraint from `MonadState RandT` instance 0.1.13 (9 February 2014) ------------------------ - add simple `uniform` function for creating a uniform distribution over a list of values 0.1.12 (30 September 2013) -------------------------- - add `liftRandT` and `liftRand` functions, for lifting explicit generator-passing functions into `RandT` and `Rand`, respectively. 0.1.11 (1 August 2013) ---------------------- - add `MonadRandom` and `MonadSplit` instances for `IdentityT` - derive `MonadReader` and `MonadWriter` instances instead of declaring them explicitly (thanks again to James Koppel) 0.1.10 (16 July 2013) --------------------- - add `MonadRandom` and `MonadSplit` instances for `ContT` (thanks to James Koppel for the patch) 0.1.9 (26 April 2013) --------------------- - add `MonadRandom` and `MonadSplit` instances for `MaybeT`
