Changes

Version 0.11.5

• Module System.Console.ANSI.Types spun out to new dependency package ansi-terminal-types-0.11.5.
• Drop support for GHC versions before GHC 7.10.1 (released March 2015).
• Improvements to Haddock documentation.

Version 0.11.4

• Add reportLayerColor, getReportedLayerColor and getLayerColor for querying the layer color on terminals that support the functionality.
• Add useAlternateScreenBuffer and useNormalScreenBuffer, and support for switching between the Alternate and Normal Screen Buffers.
• When the argument is 0, cursorUpCode, cursorDownCode, cursorForwardCode, cursorBackwardCode,scrollPageUpCode and scrollPageDownCode now yield "", and cursorUpLineCode and cursorDownLineCode now yield the equivalent of setCursorColumnCode 0. This is because, on some terminals, a 0 parameter for the underlying 'ANSI' code specifies a default parameter of 1.
• Add osc as a utility function, for OSC sequences.
• setTitle now uses the recommended STRING TERMINATOR (ST) of \ESC\\, rather than the legacy \BEL (\007), and filters the title of all non-printable characters, not just \BEL.
• Improvements to Haddock documentation.

Version 0.11.3

• Add hyperlink, hyperlinkWithId and hyperlinkWithParams, and support for clickable hyperlinks.

Version 0.11.2

• On Windows, fix compatability with the Windows I/O Manager (WinIO) when GHC >= 9.0.1 but Win32 < 2.9.0.0.
• Improvements to Haddock documentation.

Version 0.11.1

• On Windows, fix compatability with the Windows I/O Manager (WinIO) introduced in GHC 9.0.1, by incorporating changes made in package Win32-2.13.2.0 in that regard.
• Improvements to Haddock documentation.

Version 0.11

• Remove deprecated getCursorPosition0. (Use getCursorPosition instead.)
• On Unix-like operating systems, the temporary turning off of echoing is moved from getReportedCursorPosition to hGetCursorPositon.
• On Unix-like operating systems, fix a bug in getCursorPosition and hGetCursorPosition, where the console input stream was was not always clear before the cursor position was emitted into it.

Version 0.10.3

• Add getCursorPosition as a synonym of getCursorPosition0 and deprecate the latter.

Version 0.10.2

• hGetTerminalSize now assumes a terminal is no bigger than 9,999 by 9,999 (previously, no bigger than 999 by 999).
• On Windows, fix a bug where emulated cursor movement functions differed from Windows 10 (movement bounded by the current viewport).

Version 0.10.1

• Add hGetCursorPosition and hGetTerminalSize.
• On Unix-like operating systems, fix a bug where getReportedCursorPosition could block indefinitely if no information was forthcoming on the console input stream.
• Improvements to Haddock documentation.

Version 0.10

• Add support for setting the default color with new SetDefaultColor constructor of the SGR type.
• getTerminalSize now flushes the stdout channel, to ensure the cursor position is unaffected.

Version 0.9.1

• Flag modules with GHC's 'Safe Haskell' language extensions (from GHC 7.2.1).
• Improvements and corrections to Haddock documentation.

Version 0.9

• Add support for 256-color palettes with new SetPaletteColor constructor of the SGR type, and xterm6LevelRGB, xterm24LevelGray and xtermSystem.
• Remove deprecated getCursorPosition. (Use getCursorPosition0 instead.)
• Add hSupportsANSIColor.
• Add getTerminalSize.
• Improvements to Haddock documentation.

Version 0.8.2

• Add getCursorPosition0 and deprecate getCursorPosition. Any position provided by the latter is 1-based. Any position provided by the former is 0-based, consistent with setCursorColumn and setCursorPosition.
• Improvements to Haddock documentation in respect of 0-based and 1-based cursor positions.

Version 0.8.1

• Add hSupportsANSIWithoutEmulation. On Windows 10, if the handle is identified as connected to a native terminal ('Command Prompt' or 'PowerShell'), the processing of 'ANSI' control characters will be enabled.

Version 0.8.0.4

• On Windows, hSupportsANSI now recognises if the handle is connected to a 'mintty' terminal.
• Drop support for GHC versions before GHC 7.0.1 (released November 2010)

Version 0.8.0.3

• On Windows, try to enable ANSI on ConHost terminals even if a TERM environment variable exits (such as with the Hyper 2 terminal)
• Minor improvements to Haddock documentation

Version 0.8.0.2

• Improve README and Haddock documentation
• On Windows, fix compatability with earlier GHC versions
• Drop support for GHC versions before 6.12.1 (released December 2009)

Version 0.8.0.1

• On Windows, if the standard output channel is valid but not a ConHost terminal, assume it is ANSI-enabled rather than failing
• On Windows, output the improved error message to the standard error channel rather than the standard output channel

Version 0.8

• Make the fields of SGR strict
• Make compatible with GHC 8.2.2
• Improve the error message on Windows when not ANSI-capable or ConHost
• Recognise Appveyor build environment as ANSI-enabled

Version 0.7.1.1

getReportedCursorPosition: don't let the cursor reporting code be echo'd

Version 0.7.1

• Allow saving, restoring, and querying the current cursor position
• Fix a couple of issues with the Reset emulation on Windows

Version 0.7

Add 24-bit RGB color support

Version 0.6.3.1

Fix Windows + ghc 7.8 compatibility

Version 0.6.3

• Add ANSI support for Windows
• Add compatibility with Win32-2.5.0.0 and above

Version 0.6.2.3

Add an example to the haddocks

Version 0.6.2.2

Fix a GHC 7.10 warning

Version 0.6.2.1

Version 0.6.1.1

Fix to build with GHC 7.8 on Windows

Version 0.6.1

• BoldIntensity no longer changes background color on Windows
• setSGR [] was not equivalent to setSGR [Reset] on Windows, even though it should be according to the documentation. This is now fixed.
