0.5.1.4 (2023-10-18)

• Compatibility with GHC-9.8 / th-abstraction-0.6 (thanks to Ganesh Sittampalam).

0.5.1.3 (2023-04-23)

• Compatibility with GHC-9.6 / th-abstraction-0.5 (thanks to Ryan Scott).

0.5.1.2 (2022-01-02)

• Compatibility with GHC-9.2.

0.5.1.1 (2021-02-23)

• Compatibility with GHC-9.0.

0.5.1.0 (2020-03-29)

• Compatibility with GHC-8.10 (thanks to Ryan Scott).

• Improve TH generation support and extend it to type families (thanks to Ryan Scott).

0.5.0.0 (2019-05-09)

• Add strictness info to the metadata. This means that code directly using the ADT constructor has to be modified because it now has a new fourth argument. (See #76 and #87.)

• Depend on sop-core-0.5.0.* which changes the definition of SameShapeAs to improve compiler performance and adds “ejections”.

0.4.0.1 (2018-10-23)

• Remove GHC.Event import in Generics.SOP.Instances to fix build on Windows.

0.4.0.0 (2018-10-20)

• Split into sop-core and generics-sop packages.

• Drop support for GHC < 8.0.2, bump base dependency to >= 4.9 and remove dependency on transformers.

• Simplify All2 c to All (All c) and simplify SListI xs to All Top xs, and some implied refactoring.

• Add Semigroup and Monoid instances for various datatypes.

• Add specialised conversion functions for product types, enumeration, and wrapped types.

• Add benchmark suite.

• Fix deriving Generic for empty datatypes.

• Generic is now a superclass of HasDatatypeInfo.

• More Generic instances for datatypes from recent versions of base.

0.3.2.0 (2018-01-08)

• Make TH deriveGenericFunctions work properly with parameterized types (note that the more widely used deriveGeneric was already working correctly).

• Make TH deriveGeneric work properly with empty types.

• Add compare_NS, ccompare_NS, compare_SOP, and ccompare_SOP to better support comparison of sum structures.

• Add hctraverse_ and hctraverse' as well as their unconstrained variants and a number of derived functions, to support effectful traversals.

0.3.1.0 (2017-06-11)

• Add AllZip, htrans, hcoerce, hfromI, htoI. These functions are for converting between related structures that do not have common signatures.

  The most common application of these functions seems to be the scenario where a datatype has components that are all wrapped in a common type constructor application, e.g. a datatype where every component is a Maybe. Then we can use hfromI after from to turn the generically derived SOP of Is into an SOP of Maybes (and back).

• Add IsProductType, IsEnumType, IsWrappedType and IsNewtype constraint synonyms capturing specific classes of datypes.

0.3.0.0 (2017-04-29)

• No longer compatible with GHC 7.6, due to the lack of support for type-level literals.

• Support type-level metadata. This is provided by the Generics.SOP.Type.Metadata module. The two modules Generics.SOP.Metadata and Generics.SOP.Type.Metadata export nearly the same names, so for backwards compatibility, we keep exporting Generics.SOP.Metadata directly from Generics.SOP, whereas Generics.SOP.Type.Metadata is supposed to be imported explicitly (and qualified).

  Term-level metadata is still available, but is now usually computed automatically from the type-level metadata which contains the same information, using the function demoteDatatypeInfo. Term-level metadata is unchanged from generics-sop-0.2, so in most cases, even if your code makes use of metadata, you should not need to change anything.

  If you use TH deriving, then both type-level metadata and term-level metadata is generated for you automatically, for all supported GHC versions.

  If you use GGP deriving, then type-level metadata is available if you use GHC 8.0 or newer. If you use GHC 7.x, then GHC.Generics supports only term-level metadata, so we cannot translate that into type-level metadata. In this combination, you cannot use code that relies on type-level metadata, so you should either upgrade GHC or switch to TH-based deriving.

0.2.5.0 (2017-04-21)

• GHC 8.2 compatibility.

• Make :.: an instance of Applicative, Foldable and Traversable.

• Add functions apInjs'_NP and apInjs'_POP. These are variants of apInjs_NP and apInjs'_POP that return their result as an n-ary product, rather than collapsing it into a list.

• Add hexpand (and expand_NS and expand_SOP). These functions expand sums into products, given a default value to fill the other slots.

• Add utility functions such as mapII or mapIK that lift functions into different combinations of identity and constant functors.

• Add NFData (and lifted variants) instances for basic functors, products and sums.

0.2.4.0 (2017-02-02)

• Add hindex (and index_NS and index_SOP).

• Add hapInjs as a generalization of apInjs_NP and apInjs_POP.

• Make basic functors instances of lifted classes (such as Eq1 etc).

0.2.3.0 (2016-12-04)

• Add various metadata getters

• Add hdicts.

• Add catamorphisms and anamorphisms for NP and NS.

• TH compatibility changes for GHC 8.1 (master).

0.2.2.0 (2016-07-10)

• Introduced unZ to destruct a unary sum.

• Add Haddock @since annotations for various functions.

0.2.1.0 (2016-02-08)

• Now includes a CHANGELOG.

• Should now work with ghc-8.0.1-rc1 and -rc2 (thanks to Oleg Grenrus).

• Introduced hd and tl to project out of a product, and Projection and projections as duals of Injection and injections.

0.2.0.0 (2015-10-23)

• Now tested with ghc-7.10

• Introduced names hmap, hcmap, hzipWith, hczipWith for hliftA, hcliftA, hliftA2, hcliftA2, respectively. Similarly for the specialized versions of these functions.

• The constraint transformers All and All2 are now defined as type classes, not type families. As a consequence, the partial applications All c and All2 c are now possible.

• Because of the redefinition of All and All2, some special cases are no longer necessary. For example, cpure_POP can now be implemented as a nested application of pure_NP.

• Because of the redefinition of All and All2, the functions hcliftA' and variants (with prime!) are now deprecated. One can easily use the normal versions instead. For example, the definition of hcliftA' is now simply

  hcliftA' p = hcliftA (allP p)
    where
      allP :: proxy c -> Proxy (All c)
      allP _ = Proxy
  

• Because All and All2 are now type classes, they now have superclass constraints implying that the type-level lists they are ranging over must have singletons.

  class (SListI xs,  ...) => All c xs
  class (SListI xss, ...) => All2 c xss
  

  Some type signatures can be simplified due to this.

• The SingI typeclass and Sing datatypes are now deprecated. The replacements are called SListI and SList. The sing method is now called sList. The difference is that the new versions reveal only the spine of the list, and contain no singleton representation for the elements anymore.

  For one-dimensional type-level lists, replace

  SingI xs => ...
  

  by

  SListI xs => ...
  

  For two-dimensional type-level lists, replace

  SingI xss => ...
  

  by

  All SListI xss => ...
  

  Because All itself implies SListI xss (see above), this constraint is equivalent to the old Sing xss.

  The old names are provided for (limited) backward compatibility. They map to the new constructs. This will work in some, but not all scenarios.

  The function lengthSing has also been renamed to lengthSList for consistency, and the old name is deprecated.

• All Proxy c arguments have been replaced by proxy c flexible arguments, so that other type constructors can be used as proxies.

• Class-level composition (Compose), pairing (And), and a trivial constraint (Top) have been added. Type-level map (Map) has been removed. Occurrences such as

  All c (Map f xs)
  

  should now be replaced with

  All (c `Compose` f) xs
  

• There is a new module called Generics.SOP.Dict that contains functions for manipulating dictionaries explicitly. These can be used to prove theorems about non-trivial class constraints such as the ones that get built using All and All2. Some such theorems are provided.

• There is a new TH function deriveGenericFunctions that derives the code of a datatype and conversion functions, but does not create a class instance. (Contributed by Oleg Grenrus.)

• There is a new TH function deriveMetadataValue that derives a DatatypeInfo value for a datatype, but does not create an instance of HasDatatypeInfo. (Contributed by Oleg Grenrus.)

• There is a very simple example file. (Contributed by Oleg Grenrus.)

• The function hcollapse for NS now results in an a rather than an I a, matching the specialized version collapse_NS. (Suggested by Roman Cheplyaka.)
