  API changes

  • The (#) function had its type generalized from a -> (a -> Canvas b) -> Canvas b to a -> (a -> b) -> b. This allows it to be used with font length units.
  • Added more type synonyms (Interval, Degrees, Radians, etc.) to more clearly indicate what functions expect constrained values.
  • showbJS (formerly showJS) and jsStyle now return a text Builder instead of a String. This change was introduced as part of a larger blank-canvas refactoring to increase performance. See the Data.Text.Lazy.Builder module from the text package for more details on how to use Builders.

  API additions

  • A new ADT for Fonts has been added in Graphics.Blank.Font that can be used in place of Text. For example, "30pt Calibri" is equivalent to (defFont "Calibri") { fontSize = 30 # pt }.
  • A generalized font function of type CanvasFont canvasFont => canvasFont -> Canvas () was added to Graphics.Blank.Font that can accept a Text or Font argument. The font function in Graphics.Blank remains of type Text -> Canvas ().
  • Added a cursor function to change the browser cursor. Also added the Graphics.Blank.Cursor module containing a generalized cursor function that uses a Cursor ADT instead of Text.
  • Added Bounded, Enum, Eq, Ix, Ord, and Show instances for more data types
  • Added support for more MIME types via the mime-types library
