1.38.1

• Add INLINABLE annotations in more places
  • This may improve performance by enabling more specializations
• Fix hashable-related test failures
• Fix support for GHC 8.4.4
  • … by using GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving (with a z)
• Allow doctest-0.18
• Allow bytestring-0.11

1.38.0

• BREAKING CHANGE: Detect preferred character set from input
  • dhall format will now preserve the character set of the formatted file
    by default. In other words, if the file uses ASCII punctuation then
    dhall format will format the file using ASCII punctuation.
  • If the file contains both ASCII and Unicode punctuation it will prefer
    Unicode by default
  • This is a breaking change because the Lam / Pi / Combine /
    CombineTypes, and Prefer constructors now take an additional argument
    to record which character set was used
• BUG FIX: Fix CORS compliance check
  • Previous versions were not correctly enforcing CORS compliance
  • This implies that some imports that would have worked previously by
    accident will now fail; specifically: an import from one domain
    transitively importing something from another domain that has not opted
    into CORS
• Add ToDhall (Fix f) instance
• Fixes and improvements to error messages
  • #2130

1.37.1

1.37.0

• Supports version 20.0.0 of the standard
  • Implement revised Text/replace β-normalization
  • Allow Text/replace "" to support an abstract haystack
  • Support if expressions returning a type or kind
• BREAKING CHANGE TO THE API: Improve error message for duplicate projection label
  • This also makes the implementation more standards-compliant, by treating
    a duplicate label as a type error instead of a parse error
  • This is a breaking change since the Project constructor now stores a
    [Text] instead of Set Text
• Add --cache flag to dhall hash
  • This flag adds the hashed expression to the cache when enabled
• Deprecate Inject / Interpret
  • You should instead use ToDhall / FromDhall, respectively

1.35.0

• Supports version 18.0.0 of the standard
  • Implement more efficient with desugaring
    • Chained with expressions will now be much more efficient
• BREAKING CHANGE TO THE API: Preserve whitespace for Lam constructor
  • This change extends the Lam constructor to preserve whitespace around
    the variable binding
  • The motivation for this change is to enable dhall-docs to support
    jumping to definitions
  • You can replace your existing Lam constructors with
    Dhall.Core.makeFunctionBinding
• BREAKING CHANGE TO THE API: Preserve whitespace for Field constructors
  • This change extends the Field constructor to preserve whitespace around
    the selected field
  • The motivation for this change is to enable dhall-docs to support
    jumping to definitions
  • You can use Dhall.Core.makeFieldSelection and
    Dhall.Core.fieldSelectionLabel to convert between the detailed and the
    simple representation of the selected field.
• Add FromDhall instances for {Int,Word}{,8,16,32,64}
• Add --output option for dhall text subcommand
• Add Dhall.Crypto.toString
• Make the HTTP Manager configurable
  • Several import-related functions now provide an alternative variants that
    allows the user to supply a custom Manager
  • You can use this to tweak HTTP request timeouts or use a different TLS
    manager (e.g. one from http-client-openssl)
• Fixes and improvements to code formatting

  • #2000

  • #2021

    The formatter now preserves comments for record fields (both record types
    and record literals)

• Fixes and improvements to documentation
  • #2011
  • #2013
  • #2014
• Fixes and improvements to test suite
  • #2020

1.34.0

• Supports version 17.1.0 of the standard
  • Add support for trailing commas
• BREAKING CHANGE to the API: Support prefix comments on record key-value pairs
  • The Dhall AST (i.e. Expr) now preserves some comments for record types
    and record literals
  • The impact of this change is that you will need to add
    Dhall.Syntax.makeRecordField or Dhall.Syntax.recordFieldValue in a few
    places wherever your Haskell assembles or disassembles record expressions
  • The motivation of this change is two-fold:
    • To eventually enable dhall-docs support for rendering record
      comments as documentation
    • To eventually enable support for preserving record-related comments
      when formatting Dhall code
• BUG FIX: Fix with expressions to permit functions on their left-hand side
  • This was a case of the Haskell implementation not being compliant with the
    standard grammar
• Drop support for GHC 8.2
• Add a new dhall rewrite-with-schemas command
  • You can now simplify a Dhall expression using a schema record (e.g. a
    ./schemas.dhall record that a package might provide)
  • This simplification replaces large anonymous records with an
    equivalent use of a record completion when possible
• Add --transitive flag to dhall {format,lint,freeze}
  • This flag lets you format/lint/freeze a file and all of its transitive
    dependencies that are reachable via relative file imports
• Move man/dhall.1 to data-files
  • This ensures that Cabal will install dhall's man pages in the
    correct directory
• Performance improvements

1.33.1

• Multi-line REPL / support repline-0.4.0.0
  • dhall repl supports a new :paste command that lets you input a command
    by pasting one or more lines

1.33.0

• Supports version 17.0.0 of the standard
  • BREAKING CHANGE: URLs no longer support quoted path components
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Optional/{fold,build} are no longer built-ins
  • Record fields now permit empty labels
• BREAKING CHANGE: Fail instead of hanging when deriving FromDhall for recursive types
  • This is a breaking change as now the expected type returns an
    Expector (Expr Src Void) (essentially an Either) instead of
    Expr Src Void
  • If you really don't want to handle the new error-related wrapper, you can
    get the old behavior using a partial pattern match (which will be partial,
    still an improvement over the previous behavior, which was hanging)
• BREAKING CHANGE: Records can no longer contain attributes named after language keywords
  • This is a bugfix, because the language standard disallows using
    keywords as record labels. However, some users were relying on
    this bug.
  • If you need to use a keyword as a record label, enclose it in backticks:
    { `assert` = 1 }.
• Fix invalid cache entries
  • The interpreter will now correct cached expressions that are incorrect
    and warn you when this happens
  • Specifically, if there is a hash mismatch from the cached expression the
    interpreter will resolve the import again and fix the cache if the
    resolved import matches the expected hash
• Make encodeExpression polymorphic
  • encodeExpression now has a more general type, which means that you
    can use it to serialise expressions without imports (i.e.
    ones of type Expr Void Void)
• Add --quiet option for dhall decode
• Add --noted flag for dhall haskell-syntax-tree
• Performance improvements:
  • There were several performance improvements related to binary decoding,
    which should improve cache lookup speed

  • #1809
  • #1857
• Improvements to error messages

  • #1851
• Fixes to haddocks
  • #1815

1.32.0

• Supports version 16.0.0 of the standard
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Change the precedence of with and ===
    • The precedence change to with means that some old expressions that
      were valid now require explicit parentheses
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Use RFC7049bis encoding for Doubles
    • This is a breaking change because the hashes of expressions with small
      Double literals will change now
  • Add support for unions mixing terms and types
    • For example, < A : Bool | B : Type > is legal now
    • You can now write someRecord with a.b.c = x to update a nested
      fields
• DEPRECATION: Deprecate Dhall.Parser.exprA
  • Dhall.Parser module will eventually drop support for parsing custom
    import types
  • This is necessary in order to fix several parsing bugs and improve
    parsing error messages
• BUG FIX: GHC Generics instance for :+: now uses union
  • This fixes a few subtle bugs in how Dhall unions are marshalled into
    Haskell types, and also improves the error messages
• Formatting improvements
  • Change formatting of if expressions
  • Change formatting for functions and their types
  • Prefer puns when formatting record completions
• Convert union alternatives to directory tree
  • dhall to-directory-tree now supports unions which are automatically
    unwrapped
• Fix dhall freeze --cache to better handle protected imports
  • dhall freeze --cache will now also update imports that already have
    integrity checks
• Don't normalized partially saturated {List,Natural}/fold
  • The behavior now matches the standard. Previously, the Haskell
    implementation was not standards-compliant because it would normalize
    these partially saturated built-ins
