Breaking Changes

• refEq and refIneq are no longer exported from the Prelude.

Bug Fixes

• Instances can now be defined before the corresponding class declaration (@paf31)
• A bug related to imports in psci was fixed. (@paf31)
• A typechecker bug related to type class dictionaries was fixed. (@garyb)
• A bug related to operator precedence in codegen was fixed. (@garyb)

Enhancements

• psci now supports long-form directives (@mrhania)
• Syntax for imports and other declaration types in psci was improved. (@hdgarrood)
• Markdown comments can now be included at the module level (@joneshf)
• Error messages are now represented internally as an algebraic data type, and pretty printing has been improved by using the boxes library. Errors now link to the wiki. (@paf31)
• psc-docs can now generate tags files for Vim and Emacs (@jacereda)
• psci now supports a --node-opts flag for passing options to the Node executable. (@MichaelXavier)

Documentation

• The Prelude now has Markdown documentation (various contributors - thank you!)
• The Pursuit website has been updated with new versions of libraries, including Markdown documentation (@hdgarrood)

Libraries

• The following libraries are now core libraries:
  • purescript-tailrec - A type class for monadic tail recursion
  • purescript-monad-eff - A type class for monads supporting native effects
  • purescript-integers - Integer numeric type
  • purescript-invariant - Invariant functors
  • purescript-parallel - An applicative functor for parallel composition of asynchronous computations

Other

• There is an experimental C++11 backend for PureScript called pure11.
