# Changelog
|
|
|
|
## [Next version]
|
|
|
|
### Building/Packaging changes
|
|
|
|
* The Nix flake's `buildIdris` function now returns a set with `executable` and
|
|
`library` attributes. These supersede the now-deprecated `build` and
|
|
`installLibrary` attributes. `executable` is the same as `build` and `library`
|
|
is a function that takes an argument determining whether the library should be
|
|
installed with sourcecode files or not; other than that, `library`
|
|
functionally replaces `installLibrary`.
|
|
|
|
* The Nix flake's `buildIdris` `executable` property (previously `build`) has
|
|
been fixed in a few ways. It used to output a non-executable file for NodeJS
|
|
builds (now the file has the executable bit set). It used to output the
|
|
default Idris2 wrapper for Scheme builds which relies on utilities not
|
|
guaranteed at runtime by the Nix derivation; now it rewraps the output to only
|
|
depend on the directory containing Idris2's runtime support library.
|
|
|
|
* The Nix flake now exposes the Idris2 API package as `idris2Api` and Idris2's
|
|
C support library as `support`.
|
|
|
|
### Language changes
|
|
|
|
### Backend changes
|
|
|
|
#### RefC
|
|
|
|
* Compiler can emit precise reference counting instructions where a reference
|
|
is dropped as soon as possible. This allows you to reuse unique variables and
|
|
optimize memory consumption.
|
|
|
|
### Compiler changes
|
|
|
|
#### RefC Backend
|
|
|
|
* Fix invalid memory read onf strSubStr.
|
|
|
|
* Fix memory leaks of IORef. Now that IORef holds values by itself,
|
|
global_IORef_Storage is no longer needed.
|
|
|
|
* Pattern matching generates simpler code. This reduces malloc/free and memory
|
|
consumption. It also makes debugging easier.
|
|
|
|
* Stopped useless string copying in the constructor to save memory. Also, name
|
|
generation was stopped for constructors that have tags.
|
|
|
|
* Special constructors such as Nil and Nothing were eliminated and assigned to
|
|
NULL.
|
|
|
|
#### NodeJS Backend
|
|
|
|
* The NodeJS executable output to `build/exec/` now has its executable bit set.
|
|
That file already had a NodeJS shebang at the top, so now it is fully ready to
|
|
go after compilation.
|
|
|
|
### Library changes
|
|
|
|
#### Prelude
|
|
|
|
#### Base
|
|
|
|
* `Data.List.Lazy` was moved from `contrib` to `base`.
|
|
|
|
* Added an `Interpolation` implementation for primitive decimal numeric types and `Nat`.
|
|
|
|
* Added append `(++)` for `List` version of `All`.
|
|
|
|
* Deprecate `bufferData` in favor of `bufferData'`. These functions are the same
|
|
with the exception of the latter dealing in `Bits8` which is more correct than
|
|
`Int`.
|
|
|
|
* Added an alternative `TTImp` traversal function `mapATTImp'` taking the original
|
|
`TTImp` at the input along with already traversed one. Existing `mapATTImp` is
|
|
implemented through the newly added one. The similar alternative for `mapMTTImp`
|
|
is added too.
|
|
|
|
#### Contrib
|
|
|
|
* `Data.List.Lazy` was moved from `contrib` to `base`.
|
|
|
|
* Existing `System.Console.GetOpt` was extended to support errors during options
|
|
parsing in a backward-compatible way.
|
|
|
|
#### Network
|
|
|
|
* Add a missing function parameter (the flag) in the C implementation of idrnet_recv_bytes
|
