Before there was lens there was lens-family.... I'm pleased to announce the second major release of the lens-family pacakges: lens-family-core-1.0.0 and lens-family-1.0.0. They can be found at * http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-family-core * http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens-family I consider these packages to be kiddie-pool sized lens libraries for those people who are, for whatever reason, too intimidated by the lens library. I think this is a good way to get one's feet wet with lenses. The type for lenses and traversals are completely compatible with the lens library. This release brings two major developments to lens-family: * Support for traversals and folds. * The names have been all renamed to be mostly compatible with the lexicon developed by lens. With a common lexicon, I hope that users will find it easy to transition from lens-family to lens when they outgrow the kiddie pool. The lens-family-core package is a completely Haskell 98 package for those who need the compatibility. The lens-family package is a wrapper around lens-family-core that provides a few useful Rank 2 type synonyms to make using functional references a little easier. P.S. If edwardk is reading, I've used Ryan Ingram's definition from http://twanvl.nl/blog/haskell/cps-functional-references#comment-comment0 to implement alongside so that it works for both lenses and getters. You probably want to do the same. -- Russell O'Connor http://r6.ca/ ``All talk about `theft,''' the general counsel of the American Graphophone Company wrote, ``is the merest claptrap, for there exists no property in ideas musical, literary or artistic, except as defined by statute.''
