What Parsec used is called “FreeBSD” or “BSD 2 clause”. Addition of the
third clause may require contacting all the authors. To hell with it,
let it be “FreeBSD” (which is anyway better than “BSD-like”), I'm a
hacker, not a lawyer (tm).
This commit clarifies license of the software replacing “BSD3” with more
conventional “BSD 3 clause”.
Another change is addition of the third clause originally missing in
license of Parsec (which is licensed under BSD 2 clause license). The
addition of the third clause in form:
* Neither the names of the copyright holders nor the names of
contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from
this software without specific prior written permission.
does not violate original BSD 2 clause license effectively making it BSD
3 clause license (which I find preferable).
It seems like there won't be official Megaparsec tutorial for a
while. Also, the text is now written in such manner so it can be used on
Megaparsec site without any additional corrections.
This commit mainly adds missing "a", "an" or "the", whenever something is used in singular, for example:
- user will see the label in error message
+ the user will see the label in the error message
In some cases, I've removed a word, for example "module" after `Text.Megaparsec.Char`, since it's clear you're talking about a module (otherwise "the" before the module name would be necessary).
This should provide a more fluid reading experience.
This patch introduces compatibility to base-4.7.0.x. It was tested
on Win 8.1 x86_64, using GHC 7.8.4. It mainly consists of a bunch
of #if !MIN_VERSION(4,8,0) ... #endif additions and a lower bound
on base in the cabal file as well as a general introduction of the
CPP extension via default-extensions.
It also removes a potential error source in tests/Util.hs, since
the backslash in /=\ can lead to strange quirks on certain systems
(backslash and newline only separated by whitespace).
Other, squashed commits:
- Remove 'recent version of base' from Readme
- Change necessary version of GHC
Note that we have Hackage badge here, although we haven't uploaded the
library yet. This is put here in advance because the badge is created
only after uploading but then it's too late to attach it. Oh.
