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 now exposes the Idris2 API package as idris2-api and Idris2's C support library as support.

Language changes

Compiler changes

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

• Added append (++) for List version of All.

Contrib

• Data.List.Lazy was moved from contrib to base.
