0.9.0.0

• First version of the package.

0.9.0.1

• Reacted to major-number changes in the packages "ToolShed-0.10.0.0" & "RegExDot-0.10.0.0".
• Created src/RegExChar/ (& then modified module-names accordingly), & sub-directory "data/".
• Pacified hlint.
• Qualified identifiers used in error-messages.

0.9.0.2

• Ported to ghc-7.0.1:
  • Replaced the deprecated module "Test.QuickCheck.Batch", & labelled properties.
• Added the cabal-flag "threaded", to account for the requirement to link with the threaded runtime when using a threaded version of the library package "RegExDot".

0.9.0.3

• Parallelised processing where executable "grecce" is requested to read multiple input-data files.
• Extracted matching-operation from the module "Main", into new module "Grecce.Grep".
• Migrated modules required only by the executable "grecce", from the directory "RegExChar" into the new directory "Grecce".
• Replaced use of @threaded@-flag in source-code, with Cabal CPP-macro.
• Added .spec-file.

0.9.0.4

• Added default values of command-line flags, to usage-message.
• Reacted to migration of RegExDot.Options to ToolShed.Options.
• Used new module "ToolShed.Package".

0.9.0.5

• Fixed negated reference to unparenthesised CPP-macro "MIN_VERSION".
• Protected reference in module "Grecce/QC/QuickChecks", to Test.QuickCheck.verboseCheck, using CPP-statement.

0.9.0.6

• Amended RPM .spec-file, to install under directory "/usr", rather than "/usr/local".
• Renamed package from "RegExChar" to "regexchar", for compatibility with Debian's .deb-format.
• Added directory-structure required to build .deb-package.

0.9.0.7

• Redefined man-page to be an "extra-source-file" in the .cabal-file & the .spec-file.
• Added manually controlled flag "llvm" to the .cabal-file.
• Replaced references to the module "ToolShed.Package" with "Distribution.Package".
• Changed identifier for type-parameters, to better reflect its role.
• Removed dependency on archaic module "ToolShed.Arithmetic".
• Reacted to the creation of module "ToolShed.Defaultable".
• Uploaded to Hackage.

0.9.0.8

• Amended the .cabal-file to more correctly specify dependency on package "toolshed".
• Used new module "ToolShed.Pair" from package toolshed-0.12.0.0.
• Relocated modules "Grecce.Assert", "Grecce.Performance" and "Grecce.QC", into new layer "Test", in module-hierarchy.
• Guarded flag "eager-blackholing" in the cabal-file.

0.9.0.9

• Recoded module "RegExChar.RegExOptsChar" to the interface Data.Array.IArray.IArray, rather than the data-type Data.Array.Array.
• Replaced (+ 1) and (- 1) with the faster calls succ and pred, in modules "RegExChar.RegExOptsChar", "Grecce.Test.Performance.ExtendedRegExTestsPositive" and "Grecce.Grep".
• Used Paths_regexchar.version in Main, rather than hard-coding it.
• Reacted to new module-hierarchy and addition of method ToolShed.SelfValidate.getErrors, in package "toolshed-0.13.0.0", and used it to improved error-reporting in @instance Read RegExChar.ExtendedRegExChar.ExtendedRegExChar@.
• Replaced use of Control.Monad in RegExChar.MetaChar and RegExChar.ExtendedRegExChar, with Control.Applicative.
• Replaced System with System.Environment and System.Exit.
• Removed dependency on haskell98.

0.9.0.10

• Fully qualified symbols imported from package "regexdot".
• Used new constant RegExDot.Anchor.unanchored.
• Added details to any failure to parse the command-line arguments.
• Used new test-modules from package "toolshed-0.14.0.0".

0.9.0.11

• Refactored module "Grecce.Test.QC.QuickChecks".
• Replaced calls to error from inside the IO-monad, with Control.Monad.fail.
• Trapped command-line arguments to which garbage has been appended.
• Added files to build .deb to the .cabal-file.
• Tested with haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0.
• Replaced preprocessor-directives with build-depends constraints in the .cabal-file.

0.9.0.12

• Either replaced instances of (<$>) with fmap to avoid ambiguity between modules "Control.Applicative" & "Prelude" which (from package "base-4.8") also exports this symbol, or hid the symbol when importing the module "Prelude".

0.9.0.13

• Added the compiler to the output returned for the command-line option "version".
• Changed flag "threaded" in the .cabal-file to manual.
• Added "Default-language"-specification to the .cabal-file.
• Added file "README.markdown".
• Converted this file to markdown-format.
• Replaced System.Exit.exitWith System.Exit.ExitSuccess with System.Exit.exitSuccess.
• Moved the entry-point to the test-suite from module "Main.hs" to "Test.hs", both to integrate with cabal & to minimise the dependencies of the executable.
• Partitioned the source-files into directories "src-lib", "src-exe", & "src-test", & referenced them individually from the .cabal-file to avoid repeated compilation.
• Used CPP to control the import of symbols from Control.Applicative.

0.9.0.14

• Corrected the markdown-syntax in this file.
• Reverted to calling "error" rather than "Control.Monad.fail", since the String-argument for the latter is discarded in Monad-implementations other than IO.
• Uploaded to GitHub.
• Simplified file src-test/Main.hs.
• Added prop_read to modules; Grecce.Test.QC.{RepeatableMetaChar,ExtendedRegExChar}.
• Replaced calls to error with [], in implementation of Read, in module RegExChar.ExtendedRegExChar.
• Added file .travis.yml to control testing by https://docs.travis-ci.com.
• Added file .ghci.
• Replaced use of module ToolShed.Defaultable with Data.Default.
• Reimplemented RegExChar.MetaChar.deconstruct, QuickCheck.ExtendedRegExChar.deconstruct, QuickCheck.RepeatableMetaChar.deconstruct using record-syntax.
• Tested with ghc-8.0.1.

0.9.0.15

• Added default RTS-options to regexchar.cabal.
• Removed dependency on Distribution.Package.PackageName
