transformers-compat

Hackage Build Status

This provides a thin compatibility shim on top of transformers-0.2 to add the types that were added in transformers-0.3.

This enables users to maintain haskell-platform compatibility, while still gaining access ot the new functionality.

Changes

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.)

0.6.1.6

  • Each of versions 0.6.1.2–0.6.1.6 is a 0.6.1 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker. The 0.6.1 release notes describe the changes in this version. This release is configured with none of -ftwo, -fthree, -ffour, or -ffive (which works with transformers-0.5.3 and above).

0.6.1.5

  • Each of versions 0.6.1.2–0.6.1.6 is a 0.6.1 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker. The 0.6.1 release notes describe the changes in this version. This release is configured with -ffive (which works with transformers-0.5 up until, but not including, transformers-0.5.3).

0.6.1.4

  • Each of versions 0.6.1.2–0.6.1.6 is a 0.6.1 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker.

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)
    • Define some explicit (*>) definitions to avoid space leaks
  • Backport changes from transformers-0.5.4 (i.e., add Bifoldable and Bitraversable instances for Data.Functor.Constant)
  • Backport changes from transformers-0.5.3:
    • Backport the Control.Monad.Trans.Accum and Control.Monad.Trans.Select modules
    • Backport the eitherToErrors and elimLift functions to Control.Applicative.Lift
    • Backport Bits, FiniteBits, IsString, Num, Real, Integral, Fractional, Floating, RealFrac, and RealFloat instances for Data.Functor.Identity
    • Backport Monad, MonadFail, and MonadPlus instances for Data.Functor.Reverse
    • Backport Eq1, Ord1, Read1, and Show1 instances for Data.Proxy
  • Backport changes from transformers-0.5.2 (i.e., add more INLINE annotations)
  • Backport changes from transformers-0.5.1 (i.e., add Bounded, Enum, Ix, and Storable instances for Identity)

0.5.1.2

  • Each of versions 0.5.1.2–0.5.1.4 is a 0.5.1 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker. The 0.5.1 release notes describe the changes in this version. This release is configured with -ftwo (which works with the transformers-0.2 series).

0.5.1

  • Fix a bug in which PolyKinds was enabled on GHC 7.4, resulting in interface file bugs on that version of GHC.

0.5.0.4

  • Each of versions 0.5.0.2–0.5.0.4 is a 0.5 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker.

0.5.0.3

  • Each of versions 0.5.0.2–0.5.0.4 is a 0.5 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker. The 0.5 release notes describe the changes in this version. This release is configured with -fthree (which works with the transformers-0.3 series).

0.5.0.2

  • Each of versions 0.5.0.2–0.5.0.4 is a 0.5 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker. The 0.5 release notes describe the changes in this version. This release is configured with -ftwo (which works with the transformers-0.2 series).

0.5

  • Update transformers-compat to incorporate changes from the transformers-0.5 series. These changes include:
    • The Data.Functor.Classes module was completely redesigned.
    • Modules now have Safe or Trustworthy annotations.
    • Data types and type synonyms are poly-kinded when possible.
  • Add Control.Monad.Trans.Instances, a module of orphan instances that mimic instances available in later versions of transformers.

0.4.0.4

  • Each of versions 0.4.0.2–0.4.0.4 is a 0.4 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker. The 0.4 release notes describe the changes in this version. This release is configured with neither -ftwo nor -fthree (which works with transformers-0.4 and above).

0.4.0.3

  • Each of versions 0.4.0.2–0.4.0.4 is a 0.4 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker. The 0.4 release notes describe the changes in this version. This release is configured with -fthree (which works with the transformers-0.3 series).

0.4.0.2

  • Each of versions 0.4.0.2–0.4.0.4 is a 0.4 build with a different set of flags configured. Building this way allows us to work around bugs in cabal’s backtracker. 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.

0.3.3.4
