Changes

0.8.2 [2021.06.28]

  • Embed flag is now True by default to resolve unexpected issues with standalone applications #18

0.8.1 [2021.02.17]

  • The build-type has been changed from Custom to Simple. To achieve this, the doctests test suite has been removed in favor of using cabal-docspec to run the doctests.

0.8 [2019.05.18]

  • Per-language default hyphenation minimums
  • Correct handling of UTF-8 language definitions, such as Russian.
  • loadHyphenator now takes a Language rather than the string for its affix.
  • Updated language files.
  • Added Armenian, Assamese, and Occitan.

0.7.1 [2018.01.18]

  • Add Semigroup instances for Exceptions and Patterns.
  • Fix the build with -fembed.

0.7

  • Updated Spanish and Thai hyphenation patterns.
  • Removed Lao patterns until higher quality patterns are available.
  • Updated the licenses associated with many patterns
  • Revamp Setup.hs to use cabal-doctest. This makes it build with Cabal-2.0, and makes the doctests work with cabal new-build and sandboxes.

0.6

  • Applied gzip to the internal data files. This shrinks the resulting library and any statically linked executable by about a meg and a half.

0.5

  • Added support for classic Latin and Georgian. Updated language patterns to match hyph-utf8 version #687 2014-10-13.

0.4.2.1

  • filepath 1.4 support

0.4.2

  • Fixed a typo in .cabal which prevented the Embed flag from working properly.

0.4.1

  • Added support for embedding all of the pattern files into the library as resources by using cabal install hyphenation -fembed. This is not the default as it inflates the library size by ~3MB and forces all users to pay for all the hyphenation patterns, but it can be useful for users who aim to build standalone applications.

0.4

  • Removed Farsi. We had no pattern files.

0.3

  • Added Friulan, Piedmontese, Romansh and Thai language hyphenations.

0.2.2

  • Flagged Text.Hyphenation.Language as Trustworthy. It has benign side-effects that cause it to read hyphenation files lazily from the installed data-dir but nothing else.
