interval-algebra v0.6.0 Release Notes

    • Generalizes the IntervalAlgebraic class to work on any data structure that contains an interval (not just intervals themselves). This is possible by modification to the Intervallic class, which now works in part as lens with getInterval and setInterval functions. This change allows users to define their own type which contains an interval get all the interval algebraic operation on that new type. The utility of this generalization can be seen in the PairedInterval module, which defines a parameterized type for interval paired with some other data.
    • Eliminates the Moment class and combined it with the IntervalSizeable class. Like the IntervalAlgebraic class, the IntervalSizeable class no longer depends on the Interval type, but its functions like duration now work on any Intervallic i a type.
    • Removes the expand, expandl, and expandr functions from the IntervalSizeable class are now just general functions. These function now work to modify the interval within any Intervallic i a type. Similarly beginerval, enderval, and extenterval were removed from the class; however, these functions only return the Interval type.
    • Generalizes the filter* functions in the utilities module to operate on potentially different interval algebraic types. For example, in filterOverlaps x [ys], x could be an Interval a and the ys could be a list of PairedInterval b a, so you can filter a container of one interval algebraic type with another interval algebraic type.
