purescript/purescript v0.7.3

on GitHub

Major Features

• @gbaz has implemented generic deriving. This allows instances for the Generic class in the purescript-generics package to be derived by the compiler.

  A Generic instance can be derived as follows:

  data Example = Foo String | Bar Int | Baz Boolean
  
  derive instance genericExample :: Generic Example

  purescript-generics provides examples of usage, such as gShow, gEq and gCompare, for printing, equality tests and comparison respectively.

  See #1138.

• @garyb has implemented a test for orphan instances which will now cause the build to fail with an error. See #1247

Enhancements

• @mjgpy3 has added a warning when an input glob does not match any files.

Bug Fixes

• The psc: <<loop>> has been fixed. This was due to a bug in the error pretty printer. (@paf31)
• An issue with unicode characters in string literals was fixed by @michaelficarra.
• Compiler errors are now pretty printed in psc-publish (@paf31)
• Modules are no longer linted if they are not being rebuilt (@paf31)
• FFI bindings are now reloaded when changed, in PSCi (@paf31)

Other

• @phadej and @zudov have improved our CI process, so that PureScript now compiles against three versions of GHC and two LTS Stackage releases, as well as the nightly stackage releases.
• @phadej and @lukerandall have worked on supporting PureScript in Stackage.
