text-show v0.6 Release Notes

    • 📚 deriveShow can now construct instances for data families, using either the data family name or a data instance constructor as an argument. See the documentation in Text.Show.Text.TH for more details.
    • 🛠 Fixed a bug in which infix backticked data constructors (e.g., data Add = Int `Plus` Int) would not be shown correctly.
    • 🛠 Fixed typo in Text.Show.Text.GHC.RTS.Flags
    • ✂ Removed the phantom-type detecting mechanism with template-haskell-2.9.0.0 or higher. This method of finding phantom types is intrinsically flawed and is not usable on older GHCs.
    • ➕ Added generics support with the Text.Show.Text.Generic and Text.Show.Text.Debug.Trace.Generic modules
    • 🗄 Deprecated replicateB in favor of timesN from the semigroups library
    • ➕ Added FromTextShow to Text.Show.Text, which admits a String Show instance for any data type with a Text Show instance (the counterpart of FromStringShow)
    • ➕ Added Monoid and Semigroup instances for FromStringShow, Semigroup instance for LitString, IsChar instance for LitChar, and IsString instance for [LitChar]
    • 🔄 Changed the String Show instances of FromStringShow, LitChar, and LitString to more closely match the Text Show instances. As a result, the Read instances for these data types were also changed so that read . show = read . show = id.
    • ✂ Removed the recent-text flag. We'll allow users to build with older versions of text, but the latest version is recommended. Because of this, the integer-simple and integer-gmp flags are not needed.
    • ✂ Removed the integer-gmp2 flag, as it supported a configuration that didn't actually compile on GHC
    • ✂ Removed the transformers-four flag, as it is not needed now that transformers-compat is a dependency
