[1.0.0.0] - 2023-11-17

This release would not have been possible without the tireless work of Stephen Morgan.

Added

• Add asciiDoubleS table style.
• Add combinators for removing outer borders of tables.
• Provide general versions of grid and table functions that generate output for StringBuilder instances.
• Add dependency to doclayout and text.
• Add WideString and WideText to support multi-width character input. (#8)
• Custom vertical separators can now be specified in the table header specification in a hierarchic manner.
• Add simplified table style specification with LineStyle and many new combinators.
• Add Cell instance for Data.Text, Data.Either, Data.Maybe.
• Add versions of functions for tables and grids that return ColModInfos.
• Provide functions to work with Formatted.
• Add safe versions of the trim function. (#35)
• Add expandBetween LenSpec which provides a lower and an upper bound for the width of a column. (#35)
• Add explicit defaults for data types (#26).
• Provide more functions to derive ColModInfo.
• Add TableSpec to specify tables.

Changed

• Changed version bounds of base, QuickCheck, and data-default-class.
• Remove dependency on data-default-instances-base.
• Improve performance of Cell and StringBuilder instances
• Generalize Formatted to provide nested color formatting. (#11)
• Change TableStyle to use String as basic building blocks of tables. (#17)
• Add more separator types to TableStyle.
• Accept arbitrary instances of Cell as header titles.
• Lower requirements for Cell instances: Cells no longer need to be able to drop characters.
• Drop Monoid requirement for vertical alignment.
• Rendering functions for tables now use TableSpec.
• Renamed functions to derive ColModInfo.

Fixed

• Fix recently introduced errors which made text justification completely unusable. Add test coverage for relevant functions. (#15)

[0.9.0.2] - 2020-12-20

Fixed

• Fix error in fitWords that was reversing the word order. This also affects justify and justifyWords. (#14)

[0.9.0.1] - 2020-06-14

Added

• Provide functions for concatenation concatRow, concatLines, and concatGrid. (#10)

Fixed

• Fix an error with applyCutInfo that created a string of wrong length in case the cut mark was of unequal length and the view was outside of the cell.

[0.9.0.0] - 2020-04-10

Added

• Add Text.Layout.Table.Cell.Formatted. A Cell instance is provided that enables formatting text correctly with inline text formatting commands.
• Add helpers to generate tables for Pandoc in the module Text.Layout.Table.Pandoc.
• Add Cell type class: This enables using different input string types.
• Add StringBuilder type class. This enables generating output in different ways.
• Add test case for left-biased trim.

Changed

• Change input type of a lot of functions to use the Cell type class. This might break some code but will require only a type annotation to fix.
• Rework and simplify formatting functions with Cell and StringBuilder. This includes improvements in test coverage.
• Reorganize module structure:
  • Modules of types used for specification do now start with Text.Layout.Table.Spec..
  • Move a lot of the code in Text.Layout.Table into sub-modules.

Fixed

• Fix an error with text justification for lines that contain only one word and add a test case. (#6)
• Fix an error where cut marks where applied wrongly on the right side.
