# Revision history for th-abstraction
## 0.3.2.0 -- 2020-02-06
* Support substituting into and extracting free variables from `ForallVisT`s
on `template-haskell-2.16.0.0` (GHC 8.10) or later.
* Fix a bug in which `freeVariables` could report duplicate kind variables when
they occur in the kinds of the type variable binders in a `ForallT`.
* Fix a bug in which `resolveInfixT` would not resolve `UInfixT`s occurring in
the kinds of type variable binders in a `ForallT`.
* Fix a bug in which the `TypeSubstitution ConstructorInfo` instance would not
detect free kind variables in the `constructorVars`.
## 0.3.1.0 -- 2019-04-28
* Fix a bug which would cause data family information to be reified incorrectly
with GHC 8.8+ in some situations.
## 0.3.0.0 -- 2019-04-26
* Breaking change: the `datatypeVars` field of `DatatypeInfo` is now of type
`[TyVarBndr]` instead of `[Type]`, as it now refers to all of the bound type
variables in the data type. The old `datatypeVars` field has been renamed to
`datatypeInstTypes` to better reflect its purpose.
In addition, the type of `normalizeCon` now has an additional `[TyVarBndr]`
argument, since `DatatypeInfo` now requires it.
* Support `template-haskell-2.15`.
* Fix a bug in which `normalizeDec` would not detect existential type variables
in a GADT constructor if they were implicitly quantified.
* Fix a bug in which `normalizeDec` would report an incorrect number of
`datatypeVars` for GADT declarations with explicit return kinds (such as
`data Foo :: * -> * where`).
## 0.2.11.0 -- 2019-02-26
* Fix a bug in which `freeVariablesWellScoped` would sometimes not preserve
the left-to-right ordering of `Name`s generated with `newName`.
## 0.2.10.0 -- 2018-12-20
* Optimization: `quantifyType` now collapses consecutive `forall`s. For
instance, calling `quantifyType` on `forall b. a -> b -> T a` now produces
`forall a b. a -> b -> T a` instead of `forall a. forall b. a -> b -> T a`.
## 0.2.9.0 -- 2018-12-20
* Fix a bug in which `resolveTypeSynonyms` would not look into `ForallT`s,
`SigT`s, `InfixT`s, or `ParensT`s.
* Fix a bug in which `quantifyType` would not respect the dependency order of
type variables (e.g., `Proxy (a :: k)` would have erroneously been quantified
as `forall a k. Proxy (a :: k)`).
* Fix a bug in which `asEqualPred` would return incorrect results with GHC 8.7.
* Add a `freeVariablesWellScoped` function which computes the free variables of
a list of types and sorts them according to dependency order.
* Add a `resolveKindSynonyms` function which expands all type synonyms in a
`Kind`. This is mostly useful for supporting old GHCs where `Type` and `Kind`
were not the same.
## 0.2.8.0 -- 2018-06-29
* GADT reification is now much more robust with respect to `PolyKinds`:
* A bug in which universally quantified kind variables were mistakenly
flagged as existential has been fixed.
* A bug in which the kinds of existentially quantified type variables
were not substituted properly has been fixed.
* More kind equalities are detected than before. For example, in the
following data type:
```haskell
data T (a :: k) where
MkT :: forall (a :: Bool). T a
```
We now catch the `k ~ Bool` equality.
* Tweak `resolveTypeSynonyms` so that failing to reify a type constructor
name so longer results in an error. Among other benefits, this makes
it possible to pass data types with GADT syntax to `normalizeDec`.
## 0.2.7.0 -- 2018-06-17
* Fix bug in which data family instances with duplicate occurrences of type
variables in the left-hand side would have redundant equality constraints
in their contexts.
## 0.2.6.0 -- 2017-09-04
* Fix bug in which `applySubstitution` and `freeVariables` would ignore
type variables in the kinds of type variable binders.
## 0.2.5.0
* Added `pragLineDCompat`, `newtypeDCompat` and `tySynInstDCompat`
## 0.2.4.0 -- 2017-07-31
* Fix bug that caused GADT equality constraints to be incorrect in some cases.
* Expose `Unpackedness` and `Strictness` (which were unexported by accident).
## 0.2.3.0 -- 2017-06-26
* Add `resolvePredSynonyms`
* Add `reifyConstructor`, which allows reification of `ConstructorInfo` from
a constructor name, and `lookupByConstructorName`, which allows directly
looking up a `ConstructorInfo` from a `DatatypeInfo` value for a given
constructor `Name`.
* Augment `reifyDatatype` to be able to look up `DatatypeInfo` from the `Name`
of a record selector for one of its constructors. Also add `reifyRecord` for
reification of of `ConstructorInfo` from a record name, and
`lookupByRecordName`, which allows directly looking up a `ConstructorInfo`
from a `DatatypeInfo` value for a given record `Name`.
* Fix bug that caused `th-abstraction` to fail on GHC 7.0 and 7.2 when passing
a vanilla constructor name to `reifyDatatype`
* Make `normalizeDec` and `normalizeCon` more robust with respect to
data family instances on GHC 7.6 and 7.8
## 0.2.2.0 -- 2017-06-10
* Fix `freeVariables` on lists not not produce duplicates.
## 0.2.1.0 -- 2017-06-09
* Add sensible reify defaults and error messages when we
can't backport fixes to old GHC Template Haskell output
due to hand-written Decs being processed.
## 0.2.0.0 -- 2017-06-03
* Added `reifyFixityCompat`
* Added `constructorStrictness` field to `ConstructorInfo`
* Infer more kind signatures when missing on old GHCs
* Added parameter to `normalizeCon`
* Support GHC back to 7.0.4
## 0.1.3.0 -- 2017-05-27
* Added `resolveInfixT` which uses reified fixity information to resolve `UInfixT`
* Added `asEqualPred` and `asClassPred`
* Fixed data-instance GADTs
## 0.1.2.1 -- 2017-05-21
* Add eta reduction fixes to GHC 7.6
## 0.1.2.0 -- 2017-05-21
* Added `arrowKCompat`
* Added workaround for GHC 7.8 data instance eta reduction bug
* Added kind signatures to datatypeVars
## 0.1.1.0 -- 2017-05-20
* Better matching of constraints generated for GADTs across GHC versions
* Added `dataDCompat`
* Support for giving value constructors to reifyDatatype. This enables
data families to be reified easily.
## 0.1.0.0 -- 2017-04-26
* First version.
