I'm pleased to announce the release of HaRe 0.8, available on hackage [1] What's new? =========== Everything, and nothing. Everything in the sense that it has been completely reworked internally to make use of the new API Annotations [2] in GHC 7.10.2, via the ghc-exactprint [3] library. Nothing in the sense that the functionality in this version is/should be identical to that in 0.7.2.8 Limitations =========== HaRe 0.8 will only work for projects using GHC 7.10.2 for compilation. Compiling HaRe with 7.10.2 and then using it against projects using an earlier compiler will not work, as HaRe needs to be able to invoke GHC to the type checker stage on the project using GHC 7.10.2. What is it? =========== HaRe makes changes to working code, so that it still works once the change is made. Refactorings it can do are * demote Take a declaration from the level where it is defined and move it down to the place where it is used. This only works if it is used in one place only. * dupdef Duplicate a definition with a new name. * iftocase Convert an if declaration to a case declaration. * liftOneLevel Move a declaration one level up, adding parameters as needed to pass in locally declared variables. * liftToTopLevel Move a declaration to the top level, adding parameters as needed to pass in locally declared variables. * rename Change a name throughout the project. This makes use of the GHC renamed source so will not change other names that just happen to be lexically identical, but are in fact different names. It currently has an emacs integration only, assistance in supporting other environnments welcome.
