Revision history for th-abstraction

0.3.1.0 -- 2019-04-28

• Fix a bug which would cause data family information to be reified incorrectly with GHC 8.8+ in some situations.

0.3.0.0 -- 2019-04-26

• Breaking change: the datatypeVars field of DatatypeInfo is now of type [TyVarBndr] instead of [Type], as it now refers to all of the bound type variables in the data type. The old datatypeVars field has been renamed to datatypeInstTypes to better reflect its purpose.

  In addition, the type of normalizeCon now has an additional [TyVarBndr] argument, since DatatypeInfo now requires it.

• Support template-haskell-2.15.

• Fix a bug in which normalizeDec would not detect existential type variables in a GADT constructor if they were implicitly quantified.

• Fix a bug in which normalizeDec would report an incorrect number of datatypeVars for GADT declarations with explicit return kinds (such as data Foo :: * -> * where).

0.2.11.0 -- 2019-02-26

• Fix a bug in which freeVariablesWellScoped would sometimes not preserve the left-to-right ordering of Names generated with newName.

0.2.10.0 -- 2018-12-20

• Optimization: quantifyType now collapses consecutive foralls. For instance, calling quantifyType on forall b. a -> b -> T a now produces forall a b. a -> b -> T a instead of forall a. forall b. a -> b -> T a.

0.2.9.0 -- 2018-12-20

• Fix a bug in which resolveTypeSynonyms would not look into ForallTs, SigTs, InfixTs, or ParensTs.
• Fix a bug in which quantifyType would not respect the dependency order of type variables (e.g., Proxy (a :: k) would have erroneously been quantified as forall a k. Proxy (a :: k)).
• Fix a bug in which asEqualPred would return incorrect results with GHC 8.7.
• Add a freeVariablesWellScoped function which computes the free variables of a list of types and sorts them according to dependency order.
• Add a resolveKindSynonyms function which expands all type synonyms in a Kind. This is mostly useful for supporting old GHCs where Type and Kind were not the same.

0.2.8.0 -- 2018-06-29

• GADT reification is now much more robust with respect to PolyKinds:

  • A bug in which universally quantified kind variables were mistakenly flagged as existential has been fixed.

  • A bug in which the kinds of existentially quantified type variables were not substituted properly has been fixed.

  • More kind equalities are detected than before. For example, in the following data type:

    data T (a :: k) where
      MkT :: forall (a :: Bool). T a
    

    We now catch the k ~ Bool equality.

• Tweak resolveTypeSynonyms so that failing to reify a type constructor name so longer results in an error. Among other benefits, this makes it possible to pass data types with GADT syntax to normalizeDec.

0.2.7.0 -- 2018-06-17

• Fix bug in which data family instances with duplicate occurrences of type variables in the left-hand side would have redundant equality constraints in their contexts.

0.2.6.0 -- 2017-09-04

• Fix bug in which applySubstitution and freeVariables would ignore type variables in the kinds of type variable binders.

0.2.5.0

• Added pragLineDCompat, newtypeDCompat and tySynInstDCompat

0.2.4.0 -- 2017-07-31

• Fix bug that caused GADT equality constraints to be incorrect in some cases.
• Expose Unpackedness and Strictness (which were unexported by accident).

0.2.3.0 -- 2017-06-26

• Add resolvePredSynonyms
• Add reifyConstructor, which allows reification of ConstructorInfo from a constructor name, and lookupByConstructorName, which allows directly looking up a ConstructorInfo from a DatatypeInfo value for a given constructor Name.
• Augment reifyDatatype to be able to look up DatatypeInfo from the Name of a record selector for one of its constructors. Also add reifyRecord for reification of of ConstructorInfo from a record name, and lookupByRecordName, which allows directly looking up a ConstructorInfo from a DatatypeInfo value for a given record Name.
• Fix bug that caused th-abstraction to fail on GHC 7.0 and 7.2 when passing a vanilla constructor name to reifyDatatype
• Make normalizeDec and normalizeCon more robust with respect to data family instances on GHC 7.6 and 7.8

0.2.2.0 -- 2017-06-10

• Fix freeVariables on lists not not produce duplicates.

0.2.1.0 -- 2017-06-09

• Add sensible reify defaults and error messages when we can't backport fixes to old GHC Template Haskell output due to hand-written Decs being processed.

0.2.0.0 -- 2017-06-03

• Added reifyFixityCompat
• Added constructorStrictness field to ConstructorInfo
• Infer more kind signatures when missing on old GHCs
• Added parameter to normalizeCon
• Support GHC back to 7.0.4

0.1.3.0 -- 2017-05-27

• Added resolveInfixT which uses reified fixity information to resolve UInfixT
• Added asEqualPred and asClassPred
• Fixed data-instance GADTs

0.1.2.1 -- 2017-05-21

• Add eta reduction fixes to GHC 7.6

0.1.2.0 -- 2017-05-21

• Added arrowKCompat
• Added workaround for GHC 7.8 data instance eta reduction bug
• Added kind signatures to datatypeVars

0.1.1.0 -- 2017-05-20

• Better matching of constraints generated for GADTs across GHC versions
• Added dataDCompat
• Support for giving value constructors to reifyDatatype. This enables data families to be reified easily.

0.1.0.0 -- 2017-04-26

• First version.
