Changelog for pandoc-lua-marshal-0.1.6

Changelog

pandoc-lua-marshal uses PVP Versioning.

Released 2022-06-03.

Fix applyFully: the function always traversed the document type-wise, never topdown.
Avoid shadowing of a function name that was added in hslua-2.2.
Support concatenating of Pandoc values with the .. operator.

Released 2022-02-19.

Released 2022-02-17.

Allow any type of callable object as argument to List functions filter, map, and find_if. These previously required the argument to be of type function, which was too restrictive.
Inline: the type of Image captions is now Inlines instead of List.

Released 2022-01-29.

Export AttributeList type and marshaling functions from Text.Pandoc.Marshal.Attr, namely typeAttributeList, peekAttributeList, and pushAttributeList.
Update to hslua 2.1, making use of the new utility functions.

Released 2022-01-14.

Fixed a bug in List.include that was causing the Lua stack to overflow when the function was applied to long lists.

Released 2021-12-23.

The traversal order of filters can now be selected by setting the key traverse to either 'topdown' or 'typewise'; the default remains 'typewise'.

Topdown traversals can be cut short by returning false as a second value from the filter function. No child-element of the returned element is processed in that case.
All types can be compared. Previously, comparing values of different types would lead to errors in a number of cases.
Lists now have an __eq metamethod. List equality is checked by comparing both lists element-wise. Two lists are equal if they have the same type and have equal elements.
If start indices in List:find and List:find_if are negative the start index is relative to the list length.
TableFoot, TableHead, and Row values are marshaled as userdata objects.

Text.Pandoc.Lua.Marshal.Filter exports the new type WalkingOrder. The type Filter now contains the the traversal specifier as a field.
New modules for TableFoot, TableHead, and Row, defining the usual marshaling methods and constructor functions for these types.

Released 2021-12-10.

Restored backward compatible retrieval of Rows. Cells can be either a userdata value or a table.

Released 2021-12-10.

Lists of Inline values and lists of Block values are now pushed with their own metatables (named "Inlines" and "Blocks").
The types Block, Blocks, Inline, Inlines, and Pandoc now all have a method walk that applies a filter to the document subtree.
Changed behavior for Cell values: these are now pushed as userdata; the old table-based structure is still accepted when retrieving a Cell from the stack.

Module Text.Pandoc.Lua.Marshal.Cell exports the constructor function mkCell, the type definition typeCell and the fuzzy peeker peekCellFuzzy.
Added a new module Text.Pandoc.Lua.Marshal.Filter that handles Lua filters.
Added functions for filtering:
- Module Text.Pandoc.Lua.Marshal.Block:
  - walkBlockSplicing: walk an AST element, applying a filter on each Block and splicing the result back into the list.
  - walkBlocks: walk an AST element, modifying lists of Block elements by applying the Blocks filter function.
- Module Text.Pandoc.Lua.Marshal.Inline:
  - walkInlineSplicing: walk an AST element, applying a filter on each Inline and splicing the result back into the list.
  - walkInlines: walk an AST element, modifying lists of Inline elements by applying the Inlines filter function.
- Module Text.Pandoc.Lua.Marshal.Pandoc:
  - applyFully: fully apply a filter on a Pandoc document.
New internal modules:
- Text.Pandoc.Lua.SpliceList: defines a helper type used to walk a list of elements in a way that replaces the element by splicing the function result back into the list.
  
  The module is a slight rewrite of pandoc’s SingletonsList.
- Text.Pandoc.Lua.Walk: handles walking of the document tree while modifying elements via filter functions. This is a re-implementation of large parts of pandoc’s T.P.Lua.Filter module.
- Text.Pandoc.Lua.Marshal.Shared: provides helper functions used in multiple Lua type definitions.
