0.6.5 [2019.05.11]

• Ensure that the backported MonadFail instance for ExceptT is available when built against transformers-0.4.*.

0.6.4 [2019.04.01]

• Use more conservative CPP to guard the backported MonadFix instance for ListT.

0.6.3 [2019.04.01]

• Backport changes from transformers-0.5.6.*:
  • Backport the MonadFix instance for ListT in Control.Monad.Trans.Instances.
  • Generalize the type of except in Control.Monad.Trans.Except.
• Backport MonadFail instances for AccumT, Reverse, and SelectT on pre-8.0 versions of GHC by depending on the fail package if necessary.
• Backport MonadFail instances for monad transformer types in Control.Monad.Trans.Instances.

0.6.2

• transformers-compat now uses automatic flags instead of manual ones. This has a number of benefits:

  • There is no need for making several simultaneous releases to support each flag combination.
  • As a result, the cabal-install constraint solver should have a much easier time figuring out install-plans involving transformers-compat.

  Due to old cabal-install bugs, cabal-install-1.16 and older may have a harder time installing this package, so it is recommended that you use cabal-install-1.18 or later. (Or, if you must use cabal-install-1.16 or older, installing transformers-compat with the appropriate flags should help.)

0.6

• Introduce the Data.Functor.Classes.Generic module, which provides functions that can generically implement methods in the Eq1, Ord1, Read1, and Show1 classes (without the usual boilerplate involved).
• Introduce the generic-deriving flag. When enabled, transformers-compat will depend on the generic-deriving library on older versions of GHC to backport GHC.Generics support for Generic instances and the machinery in Data.Functor.Classes.Generic.
• Some instances were present in Data.Functor.Sum but not in Control.Monad.Trans.Instances (e.g., the Generic, Typeable, and Data instances for Sum). This has been fixed.
• Backport changes from transformers-0.5.5:
  • Backport the Semigroup instance for Constant
  • Add mapSelect and mapSelectT
  • Define selectToContT (and deprecate selectToCont in favor of that)

The 0.4 release notes describe the changes in this version. This release is configured with -ftwo (which works with the transformers-0.2 series).

0.4

• Added support for the missing ExceptT instances from mtl.

  This was not done lightly. While this means that by default incurring a dependency on transformers-compat drags in mtl when you are using an old transformers, it means that users do not have to orphan these instances and permits wider adoption of ExceptT.

  If you absolutely can’t stand mtl and really want this package to build as valid Haskell98, then you can use cabal install transformers-compat -f-mtl to avoid incurring the dependency to get these instances. However, that is effectively an unsupported configuration.
