Release Notes:
This release should fix many (hopefully all) known cabal install
related issues. It also includes many other improvements detailed
below.
Known issues:
* dropped support for GHC 6.8. GHC 6.10 and 6.12 currently supported.
* happstack-data compiled with -O0 due to bug in cabal
You may be able to change that to -O2 if you first do:
cabal install --reinstall syb-with-class --disable-documentation
But we need a solution that works automatically when people run, cabal install happstack.
Changes since 0.4.1:
* many IxSet improvements by Gracjan Polak
- hide IxSet constructor. use ixSet instead.
- improved efficiency of gteTLE, getGTE, and getRange
- get rid of Dynamic, just use Data.Typeable (internal change)
- added deleteIx
- Eq and Ord instances for IxSet
- removed a bunch of cruft
- greatly improved documentation
- added stats function
- Protect user from using unindexed keys in searches in IxSet
- Runtime safeguard for badly formed inferIxSet indexes
- Fixed IxSet Default instance
- More detailed error messages in IxSet
* work around bug in bytestring which causes the server to hang
* support for uincode Text and lazy Text types
- Serialize/Version instances now provided automatically by happstack-data
- instances of EmbedAsChild and EmbedAsAttr for Text for Identity,
IdentityT, ServerPartT, and WebT.
- patches sent upstream to HSP, waiting on acceptance
* Added Serialize/Version instances for time / Data.Time library
* Improvements to GuestBook demo by Gracjan Polak
- better handling of Ctrl-C
- simplified .cabal to only build executable
* Improvements to GuestBook demo by Gracjan Polak
- nice command line interface with help message and version information
- restructured parsing of command line to make it scale better with
further parameters
- added reference to Paths_guestbook module to enable incorporating version
and path information generated by cabal.
- added withLogger transformer guaranteeing clean setup and
teardown of loggers
- Added clean shutdown to logging component.
* fail instance for WebT now includes location of pattern match failure. e.g.
src\AppControl.hs:43:24: Pattern match failure in do expression
* added expireCookie function
* Improvements to documentation
* Additional test cases
* Fixes many build failures
* Experimental: Added proof of concept port of happstack-server to WAI.
* added 'dirs' guard. (Similar to dir, but for a list of path
components).
* set SO_KEEPALIVE so that dropped connections will eventually time out
* happstack-util only depends on QuickCheck when compiled with
-ftests. This is wrong but solves a lot of annoy install failures.
* file serve functions now use MonadPlus instead of setting explicit 404
* XMLMetaData for webHSP
* Allow colons in cookie names
