Revision history for ghcitui

0.4.0.0 -- 2024-11-15

New features

• Interruptable expressions! This was a huge rework of the code. You can now press Ctrl+c and expression evaluation will be interrupted! Very handy for avoiding hanging. See GitHub Issue #49 for details.

API changes

Large overhaul in general, as GHCiTUI has moved to an async daemon scheduling model.

• Ghcitui.Brick
  • Introduction of the new CustomAppEvent to handle new event handling.
  • The brickApp now specifies a CustomAppEvent.
  • Moved event utils to EventUtils.hs
  • Separated out Events.hs into InterpWindowEvents.hs and SourceWindowEvents.hs.
  • Introduced the callback functions handleSourceWindowPostCb and interpWindowPostCb.
• Ghcitui.Core
  • Removed the run command as it was misleading in an asynchronous context. Replaced with threadUnsafeRun.
  • Added the schedule and scheduleWithCb functions, which mostly replace the intent of run, but work with async.
  • Added interruptDaemon to call the interrupt signal.
  • emptyInterpreterState now must be run under IO, as it must set up the lock.
  • Added readyToExec to check if the ghci handle lock is taken.

In general, lots of doc fixes.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where the module display wouldn't reveal the source in the Source Window. when there was only one module. See GitHub Issue #48 for details.

Known issues
