Changes

0.6 [2021.11.07]

  • Allow building with GHC 9.2.1.
  • The Data.Bits.Extras.oneBits function now matches the implementation of the oneBits function from base’s Data.Bits module. This is a breaking change since the constraint has been strengthened from Bits to FiniteBits. If you need to invoke oneBits on a data type that does not have a FiniteBits instance (e.g., Integer), use the newly added unsafeOneBits function instead.
  • Generalize log2 to all Integral types with base >= 4.15 (GHC >= 9.0).

0.5.3 [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.

0.5.2 [2019.05.02]

  • Support building with base-4.13 (GHC 8.8).
  • Add a MonadFail instance for Coding.

0.5.1

  • Fix off-by-one error in putUnaligned
  • Revamp Setup.hs to use cabal-doctest. This makes it build with Cabal-1.25, and makes the doctests work with cabal new-build and sandboxes.

0.5

  • ghc 8 support
  • Fixed doctests

0.4

  • Embrace FiniteBits from GHC 7.8.3 now that a platform has shipped with it.

0.3.3

  • Fixed dependencies on old busted versions

0.3.2

  • Bug fix for getBit

0.3.1

  • Fixed dependency bounds

0.3

  • Support for bytes 0.8

0.2.1

  • Claim to be Trustworthy

0.2

  • Crippled to work with bytes 0.7, so we can work with binary >= 0.6.

0.1

  • Repository initialized
