GHC 7.10 compatibility.

New in 1.1

In a nutshell, custom context directories and GHC 7.8 compatibility.

Breaking changes

• The detection of whether the user prelude needs to be recompiled has been improved, leading to the removal of the no-longer useful --recompile flag.

"Breaking" changes (if you used internal stuff)

• The haskell-awk library has changed.
• The format of ~/.hawk/cache has changed.

New features

• GHC 7.8 compatibility.
• A context directory other than ~/.hawk can be specified.
• A .hawk directory can be placed in the current directory (or one of its ancestors) and it will be used instead of ~/.hawk. This allows different projects to use different user preludes.

Bugfixes

• Some examples from the documentation needed minor changes in order to produce the documented output.
• hawk "" is now a syntax error.
• cabal install --enable-tests no longer complains that the runtime isn't installed.

Minor improvements

• The nomenclature for "lines" and "words" is now "records" and "fields", because the delimiters don't need to be newline and space.
• Usage is shown when hawk is called with no arguments.
• A warning message is displayed when ~/.hawk is first created.
• More succinct --help output.
• More uniform presentation of warnings and error messages.
