Revision history for large-records

0.4.4 -- 2025-09-19

• Generate optics-core LabelOptic instances.
• Support for ghc 9.10 and 9.12
• The rdp flag now defaults to off; you might wish you enable this if you use the record-dot-preprocessor.

0.4.3 -- 2025-07-19

• Support ghc 9.8 (Gabriele Sales)

0.4.2 -- 2024-10-15

• Support primitive-0.7.3 (#159, Isaac Elliott).
• Plugin idempotence (#159, Isaac Elliott).
• Document required additional dependencies and language extensions (#161).
• Use Exact names for Prelude imports, to avoid unexpected clashes (#162).

Notes:

• If your code imports Data.Plugin.Record only for the largeRecord identifier used in the ANN annotations, this import is no longer required as of this version and can be omitted.
• In addition to large-generics and record-hasfield you will now also need to declare a dependency on ghc-prim.

0.4.1 -- 2024-05-30

• Support ghc 9.6 (and drop ghc <= 8.8) [together with Tristan Cacqueray and Gabriele Sales]

0.4 -- 2023-03-06

• Fix issue with operator type families used in fields (#120).
• Fix issue with NamedWildCards (#121, #124, #125).
• Do not generate imports in the plugin (#129). NOTE: This means that use code must now import Data.Record.Plugin to bring largeRecord into scope (necessary for ANN annotations).
• Support ghc 9.4 (#131). An annoying quirk of ghc 9.4 is that the order of plugins is reversed; this matters when using large-records and record-dot-preprocessor together. To avoid CPP, you can now use Data.Record.Plugin.WithRDP, which combines both plugins.
• Support OverloadedRecordDot and OverloadedRecordUpdate (#135).

0.3 -- 2022-07-22

• Support ghc 9.2 (#113 / #117).
• Support for field strictness annotations (#106 / #107).

0.2.1.0 -- 2022-04-06

• Update for large-generics 0.2

0.2.0.0 -- 2022-03-23

• Avoid all quotes: no more Template Haskell (#63) or quasi-quotes (#43). TH replaced by a source-plugin; quasi-quotes avoided by using a different internal representation, so that records can be constructed "as normal".
• Removed support for the pattern synonym, as it's not needed anymore.
• Compatible with ghc 8.10 and 9.0 (as well as 8.8).
• large-generics split off as a separate package (#45).
• Remove dependency on micro-lens (#27); Data.Record.Lens.Micro is now Data.Record.Generic.Lens.VL (and lives in `large-generics).
• Fix some strictness issues (#33).
• Refactored test suite and benchmarks.

0.1.0.0 -- 2021-08-19

• First public release.
