Release 0.12.0.2, March 31, 2013 Changes since release 0.12.0.0: * Reorder NEWS so recent versions are on top * Fix bug in Prim.stopper that prevented most stoppers from being recognized Release 0.12.0.0, March 27, 2013 Changes since release 0.10.0.0: * Added value constructors to the Combinator module to allow for easier parsing of option arguments that can fail to parse * Added automatic "Enter -h for help" to simpleWithHelp and modesWithHelp functions in SimpleParser Release 0.10.0.0, March 7, 2013 Changes since release 0.8.0.0: * Added the simpleWithHelp and modesWithHelp pre-built parsers to the SimpleParser module * Added the mHelp field to the Mode record to allow for the modesWithHelp pre-built parser * Changed the modes function in the SimpleParser module. The new function has a simpler type. It will however break old code. Release 0.8.0.0, January 8, 2013 Changes since release 0.6.0.0: * Added a multi-mode parser to SimpleParser * All modules (except SampleParser) are now re-exported from System.Console.MultiArg. Therefore one import will bring in all of MultiArg. However, this introduced a naming conflict, because SimpleParser and Prim both had functions named "parse". Therefore I renamed SimpleParser.parse to "simple". * Removed the <??> combinator from Prim and replaced it with <?>. Removed <?> from Combinator. The new <?> behaves as one would expect from Parsec. * Simplified errors. There is now just one type of error message, and that is a string. Reversed error messages when Prim.parse returns (this way they are in the order the user would expect.) * Client code written for 0.6.0.0 will probably break with this release, mostly because of changes to the export lists. Combinator no longer re-exports from other modules, because now the expectation is that if you want to import everything you just import System.Console.MultiArg. So fixing that is just a matter of changing imports in client code. Other breakage will be limited to error handling code. Release 0.6.0.0, September 28, 2012 Changes since release 0.4.0.0: * Add Functor instances for OptSpec, ArgSpec * Add ThreeArg and ChoiceArg ArgSpecs Release 0.4.0.0, June 30, 2012 Changes since release 0.2.0.0: * Code written for version 0.2.* will not work at all with this version. * Removed dependency on text library. multiarg now only deals with plain Strings. The memory usage concerns that originally led me to use Texts were unfounded. * Dramatically simplified code for primitive parsers. No more custom error types, monad transformers, or user states. This sort of functionality is easily implemented in the parsers that you can build; baking it into the primitive parsers makes things needlessly complicated. * Reworked included combinators in Combinator module. Release 0.2.0.0, April 2, 2012 Changes since release 0.1.0.0: * Henceforth all public releases will have only even numbers in their release numbers (e.g. 0.2.0.0, 0.2.0.2, etc.) If a release has any odd numbers in its version, it is a development release. * QuickCheck tests are removed. Eventually I will reimplement these in a separate library package. * Added Feed function to System.Console.MultiArg.Prim; this allows you to carry out stateful parses without using a user state. Sometimes this aids in composability--for instance, I use it when combining parsers from different parts of the same program.
