Changelog for pugs-DrIFT-2.2.3.20110925

DrIFT-2.2.2: * redid build model, collect deriving rules automatically. DrIFT-2.2.1: Mon Aug 14 19:22:26 PDT 2006 John Meacham <john@repetae.net> * update autotools to make autoreconf work * update README to reflect there no longer being a 'reconf' script * get rid of recursive make in docs/ subdirectory Thu Jan 25 21:04:02 PST 2007 John Meacham <john@repetae.net> * add support for Data.Binary, move old Binary to BitsBinary DrIFT-2.2.0: Mon Apr 10 00:39:24 PDT 2006 John Meacham <john@repetae.net> * add note about reconf script * make the parser handle newtype deriving without bailing out * fix bug in Ord deriving rule Wed Jan 18 03:59:21 PST 2006 David Roundy <droundy@darcs.net> * fix typo in src/Makefile.am Sun Nov 27 02:59:14 PST 2005 Malcolm.Wallace@cs.york.ac.uk * Change rule for Haskell2XmlNew into XmlContent, add Parse rule. The Haskell2XmlNew class was a temporary staging post on the way to developing a new XmlContent class, available in HaXml-1.14 onwards. This patch updates the name, and the rule, to match the latest developments. It also adds support for the textual (non-XML) Parse class, which is an experimental replacement for the Read class, using monadic parser combinators. This is also currently defined in HaXml-1.14. * docs should refer to StandardRules.hs, not .lhs * fix docs for Hugs usage * keep docs of --list option up-to-date Tue Nov 15 18:09:40 PST 2005 Einar Karttunen <ekarttun@cs.helsinki.fi> * Hook Arbitrary into DrIFT proper * Add UserRuleArbitrary Thu Nov 3 02:52:38 PST 2005 John Meacham <john@repetae.net> * fix data derving for new versions of ghc DrIFT-2.1.2: * fix rpm building, autoconf and some general make issues * fix warnings in generated binary instances * fix autoconf warnings Mon Sep 12 08:11:10 PDT 2005 Malcolm.Wallace@cs.york.ac.uk * support for Haskell2XmlNew The HaXml library Haskell2Xml has been extended to make secondary parsing of the generic XML content tree into a typed value more robust. An API change means that a new version of the class (unimaginatively called Haskell2XmlNew) exists, and this patch adds the ability to generate parsing code for the new class. * doc updates Fix some very out-of-date statements in the manual. Tue May 31 16:17:12 PDT 2005 Samuel Bronson <naesten@gmail.com> * avoid problems with hmake by invoking ghc -M directly * Default to GHC to avoid NHC's tiny heap DrIFT-2.1.1: Tue Apr 19 21:09:13 PDT 2005 John Meacham <john@repetae.net> * Be sure to flush handles pointing to files before quitting * fix off-by-one line number error * Remove reference to genconf * Updated GenUtil.hs to fix nhc build DrIFT-2.1.0: * added 'get' utility which creates foo_g for each label which returns its value in a failing monad rather than raising an error. * added 'from' utility which creates fromFoo for each constructors * no longer an error for DERIVEPATH to not be set * added -i to ignore directives in file. useful with -g and -r for testing * added 'Query' which creates from, get, has, and is functions, but in a class with an instance for the data type. useful for extensible data types * added deriving rule for 'Monoid' * added code subdirectory with support code DrIFT-2.0.4: * added rule for GhcBinary * now allows record syntax with newtype DrIFT-2.0.3: * 'update' functions now pass through values without the specified field * drift-ghc script added to be used with ghc by passing -pgmF drift-ghc -F * documentation updated. DrIFT-2.0.2: * deriving 'update' works with newer versions of ghc * fixed bug in Show and Read instances DrIFT-2.0.1: * fixed many warnings in generated code * support for strict fields in constructors * support for infix constructors DrIFT-2.0rc4: * added help messages and categorization to rules * small isLiterate fix (TODO use nhcs deliterizer) * prints debug info in comment in chaseImports * code cleanups * integrated some changes from Strafunski 1.7 * autoconf/automake improvements DrIFT-2.0rc3: * fixed version strings in generated files * fix dependency generation * fixed example test cases DrIFT-2.0rc2: * autoconf/automake added * texinfo is installed properly now * build system cleanups * works with both nhc and ghc again DrIFT-2.0rc1: * new texinfo documentation, based on Noel's original manual. * new option '-r' to only emit results and not original source * new option '-g' to add new global rules to apply. * cleaned up old non haskell98-compliant hacks jDrIFT-1: * proper GetOpt command line handling, allows you to specify an output file (-o) as well as list all possible derivations this version was compiled with (-l) * proper LINE pragmas in generated code * smarter error handling in some cases, parser smarter sometimes. * can deal with/ignore as appropriate some ghc extensions now * rules to derive Typeable used by the Dynamic library. * rules to derive Observable from the HOOD object debugger * rules to derive Term, a generic term representation for generic computation, can be used in a similar fashion to the Strafunski one, but has a number of advantages, fully lazy constant time implode/explode being the main one. (the external library is compatable with their work.)
