0.5.9 [2019.06.08]

• Have deriveFunctor and deriveFoldable derive implementations of (<$) and null, which GHC starting doing in 8.2 and 8.4, respectively.
• Fix a bug in which deriveOrd{,1,2} could generate incorrect code for data types with a combination of nullary and non-nullary constructors.
• Fix a bug in which deriveFunctor would fail on sufficiently complex uses of rank-n types in constructor fields.
• Fix a bug in which deriveFunctor and related functions would needlessly reject data types whose last type parameters appear as oversaturated arguments to a type family.

0.5.8 [2019.11.26]

• Allow building with GHC 8.10.

0.5.7 [2019.08.27]

• Permit deriveVia to use "floating" via type variables, such as the a in:

  deriveVia [t| forall a. Show MyInt `Via` Const Int a |]
  

0.5.6 [2019.05.02]

• Support deriving Eq, Ord, and Show instances for data types with fields of type Int8#, Int16#, Word8#, or Word16# on GHC 8.8 or later.

0.5.5 [2019.04.26]

• Support th-abstraction-0.3 or later.

0.5.4 [2019.01.21]

• Expose Internal modules.

0.5.3 [2019.01.20]

• Fix a bug in which deriveEnum/deriveIx would generate ill-scoped code for certain poly-kinded data types.

0.5.2 [2018.09.13]

• Fix a bug (on GHC 8.7 and above) in which deriveGND/deriveVia would generate ill-scoped code.

0.5.1 [2018.07.11]

• Have deriveGND/deriveVia throw an error if an incorrect number of arguments are supplied to the type class.

0.5 [2018.07.01]

• Backport the changes to GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving and DerivingVia code generation from Trac #15290.

  As a result, code generated by deriveGND or deriveVia now requires the InstanceSigs and ScopedTypeVariables language extensions. On the other hand, the generated code no longer requires the ImpredicativeTypes extension (unless any class methods use higher-rank types).

• Allow building with containers-0.6 and template-haskell-2.14.

0.4.3 [2018.06.16]

• Fix a bug that caused debug-enabled GHC builds to panic when generating code from this library (see Trac #15270). The fix only affects the library's internals, so no changes are user-facing.

0.4.2 [2018.05.14]

• Backport the fixes for GHC Trac #14364 and #14918, which significantly improve the compliation times of derived Read instances.

0.4.1 [2018.02.04]

• Add Data.Deriving.Via, which allows emulating the behavior of the GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving and DerivingVia extensions.
• Test suite fixes for GHC 8.4.

0.4 [2017.12.07]

• Incorporate changes from the EmptyDataDeriving proposal (which is in GHC as of 8.4):
  • For derived Eq and Ord instances for empty data types, simply return True and EQ, respectively, without inspecting the arguments.
  • For derived Read instances for empty data types, simply return pfail (without parens).
  • For derived Show instances for empty data types, inspect the argument (instead of erroring). In addition, add showEmptyCaseBehavior to ShowOptions, which configures whether derived instances for empty data types should use the EmptyCase extension (this is disabled by default).
  • For derived Functor and Traversable instances for empty data types, make fmap and traverse strict in its argument.
  • For derived Foldable instances, do not error on empty data types. Instead, simply return the folded state (for foldr) or mempty (for foldMap), without inspecting the arguments.
  • Add FFTOptions (Functor/Foldable/Traversable options) to Data.Functor.Deriving, along with variants of existing functions that take FFTOptions as an argument. For now, the only configurable option is whether derived instances for empty data types should use the EmptyCase extension (this is disabled by default).
• Backport the fix to #13328. That is, when deriving Functor or Traversable instances for data types where the last type variable is at phantom role, generated fmap/traverse implementations now use coerce for efficiency.
• Rename emptyCaseBehavior from Data.Functor.Deriving to fftEmptyCaseBehavior.

0.3.6 [2017.04.10]

• Make deriveTraversable use liftA2 in derived implementations of traverse when possible, now that liftA2 is a class method of Applicative (as of GHC 8.2)
• Make deriveShow use showCommaSpace, a change introduced in GHC 8.2

0.3.5 [2016.12.12]

• Fix bug in which derived Ord instances for datatypes with many constructors would fail to typecheck

0.3.4 [2016.10.20]

• Fix bug in which infix record selectors weren't shown with parentheses in derived Show instances
• Fix bug in which record selectors weren't parsed correctly in derived Read instances

0.3.3 [2016.09.11]

• Add Data.Bounded.Deriving, which allows deriving Bounded with TH.
• Add Data.Enum.Deriving, which allows deriving Enum with TH.
• Add Data.Ix.Deriving, which allows deriving Ix with TH.
• Fix bug in which derived Show instance would parenthesize the output too eagerly

0.3.2

• Incorporate a fix to GHC Trac #10858, which will be introduced in GHC 8.2
• Fix bug in which derived Ord instances accidentally swapped their less-than(-or-equal-to) and greater-than(-or-equal-to) methods
• Fix GHC HEAD build

0.3.1

• Allow deriving Functor and Foldable instances for datatypes containing unboxed tuples
• Microoptimization in derived instances of higher-order versions of Eq, Ord, Read, and Show

0.3

• Added Data.Eq.Deriving, which allows deriving Eq, Eq1, and Eq2 with TH.
• Added Data.Ord.Deriving, which allows deriving Ord, Ord1, and Ord2 with TH.
• Added Data.Read.Deriving, which allows deriving Read, Read1, and Eq2 with TH.
• Renamed Text.Show.Deriving.Options to ShowOptions so as to disambiguate it from the options datatypes in other deriving-compat modules.

0.2.2

• Fixed a bug in Text.Show.Deriving's treatment of unlifted types

0.2.1

• Added Text.Show.Deriving, which allows deriving Show, Show1, and Show2 with TH.

0.2

• Added support for GHC 8.0
• Added Data.Functor.Deriving and Data.Traversable.Deriving, which allow deriving Functor and Traversable with TH.
• Added Data.Deriving, which reexports all other modules

0.1
