Release 0.12.0.2, March 31, 2013
Changes since release 0.12.0.0:
* Reorder NEWS so recent versions are on top
* Fix bug in Prim.stopper that prevented most stoppers from being
recognized
Release 0.12.0.0, March 27, 2013
Changes since release 0.10.0.0:
* Added value constructors to the Combinator module to allow for
easier parsing of option arguments that can fail to parse
* Added automatic "Enter -h for help" to simpleWithHelp and
modesWithHelp functions in SimpleParser
Release 0.10.0.0, March 7, 2013
Changes since release 0.8.0.0:
* Added the simpleWithHelp and modesWithHelp pre-built parsers to
the SimpleParser module
* Added the mHelp field to the Mode record to allow for the
modesWithHelp pre-built parser
* Changed the modes function in the SimpleParser module. The new
function has a simpler type. It will however break old code.
Release 0.8.0.0, January 8, 2013
Changes since release 0.6.0.0:
* Added a multi-mode parser to SimpleParser
* All modules (except SampleParser) are now re-exported from
System.Console.MultiArg. Therefore one import will bring in all of
MultiArg. However, this introduced a naming conflict, because
SimpleParser and Prim both had functions named "parse". Therefore I
renamed SimpleParser.parse to "simple".
* Removed the <??> combinator from Prim and replaced it with
<?>. Removed <?> from Combinator. The new <?> behaves as one would
expect from Parsec.
* Simplified errors. There is now just one type of error message, and
that is a string. Reversed error messages when Prim.parse returns
(this way they are in the order the user would expect.)
* Client code written for 0.6.0.0 will probably break with this
release, mostly because of changes to the export lists. Combinator
no longer re-exports from other modules, because now the expectation
is that if you want to import everything you just import
System.Console.MultiArg. So fixing that is just a matter of changing
imports in client code. Other breakage will be limited to error
handling code.
Release 0.6.0.0, September 28, 2012
Changes since release 0.4.0.0:
* Add Functor instances for OptSpec, ArgSpec
* Add ThreeArg and ChoiceArg ArgSpecs
Release 0.4.0.0, June 30, 2012
Changes since release 0.2.0.0:
* Code written for version 0.2.* will not work at all with this
version.
* Removed dependency on text library. multiarg now only deals with
plain Strings. The memory usage concerns that originally led me to
use Texts were unfounded.
* Dramatically simplified code for primitive parsers. No more custom
error types, monad transformers, or user states. This sort of
functionality is easily implemented in the parsers that you can
build; baking it into the primitive parsers makes things needlessly
complicated.
* Reworked included combinators in Combinator module.
Release 0.2.0.0, April 2, 2012
Changes since release 0.1.0.0:
* Henceforth all public releases will have only even numbers in their
release numbers (e.g. 0.2.0.0, 0.2.0.2, etc.) If a release has any
odd numbers in its version, it is a development release.
* QuickCheck tests are removed. Eventually I will reimplement these in
a separate library package.
* Added Feed function to System.Console.MultiArg.Prim; this allows you
to carry out stateful parses without using a user state. Sometimes
this aids in composability--for instance, I use it when combining
parsers from different parts of the same program.
