0.9.0.0

* First version of the package.

0.9.0.1

* Reacted to major-number changes in the packages **ToolShed-0.10.0.0** & **RegExDot-0.10.0.0**.
* Created **src/RegExChar/** (& then modified module-names accordingly) & **data/** sub-directories.
* Pacified **hlint**.
* Added a makefile.
* Qualified identifiers used in error-messages.

0.9.0.2

* Ported to ghc-7.0.1:
	Replaced the deprecated module **Test.QuickCheck.Batch**, & labelled properties.
* Added the cabal-flag **threaded**, to account for the requirement to link with the threaded runtime when using a threaded version of the library package **RegExDot**.

0.9.0.3

* Parallelised processing where **grecce** is requested to read multiple input-data files.
* Extracted matching-operation from the **Main** module, into new module **Grecce.Grep**.
* Migrated modules required only by the executable **grecce**, from the directory **RegExChar** into the new directory **Grecce**.
* Replaced use of @threaded@-flag in source-code, with CABAL CPP-macro.
* Added *.spec*-file.

0.9.0.4

* Added default values of command-line flags, to usage-message.
* Reacted to migration of **RegExDot.Options** to **ToolShed.Options**.
* Used new **ToolShed.Package** module.

0.9.0.5

* Fixed negated reference to unparenthesised CPP-macro **MIN_VERSION**.
* Protected reference in **Grecce/QC/QuickChecks.hs**, to `Test.QuickCheck.verboseCheck`, using CPP-statement.

0.9.0.6

* Amended RPM *.spec*-file, to install under **/usr**, rather than **/usr/local**.
* Renamed package from **RegExChar** to **regexchar**, for compatibility with Debian's *.deb*-format.
* Added directory-structure required to build *.deb*-package.

0.9.0.7

* Redefined man-page to be an **extra-source-file** in the *.cabal*-file & the *.spec*-file.
* Added manually controlled **llvm** flag to the *.cabal*-file.
* Replaced references to the module **ToolShed.Package** with **Distribution.Package**.
* Changed identifier for type-parameters, to better reflect its role.
* Removed dependency on archaic module **ToolShed.Arithmetic**.
* Reacted to the creation of module **ToolShed.Defaultable**.
* Uploaded to [Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/hackage.html).

0.9.0.8

* Amended the *.cabal*-file to more correctly specify dependency on package **toolshed**.
* Used new module **ToolShed.Pair** from package toolshed-0.12.0.0.
* Relocated modules **Grecce.Assert**, **Grecce.Performance** and **Grecce.QC**, into new layer **Test**, in module-hierarchy.
* Guarded **eager-blackholing** flag in the *cabal*-file.

0.9.0.9

* Recoded **RegExChar.RegExOptsChar** to the interface `Data.Array.IArray.IArray`, rather than the data-type `Data.Array.Array`.
* Replaced `(+ 1)` and `(- 1)` with the faster calls `succ` and `pred`, in **RegExChar.RegExOptsChar**, **Grecce.Test.Performance.ExtendedRegExTestsPositive** and **Grecce.Grep**.
* Used `Paths_regexchar.version` in **Main**, rather than hard-coding it.
* Reacted to new module-hierarchy and addition of method `ToolShed.SelfValidate.getErrors`, in **toolshed-0.13.0.0**, and used it to improved error-reporting in @instance Read RegExChar.ExtendedRegExChar.ExtendedRegExChar@.
* Replaced use of `Control.Monad` in **RegExChar.MetaChar** and **RegExChar.ExtendedRegExChar**, with `Control.Applicative`.
* Replaced `System` with `System.Environment` and `System.Exit`.
* Removed dependency on **haskell98**.

0.9.0.10

* Fully qualified symbols imported from package **regexdot**.
* Used new constant `RegExDot.Anchor.unanchored`.
* Added details to any failure to parse the command-line arguments.
* Used new test-modules from **toolshed-0.14.0.0**.

0.9.0.11

* Refactored **Grecce.Test.QC.QuickChecks**.
* Replaced calls to `error` from inside the IO-monad, with `Control.Monad.fail`.
* Trapped command-line arguments to which garbage has been appended.
* Added files to build *.deb* to the *.cabal*-file.
* Tested with **haskell-platform-2013.2.0.0**.
* Replaced preprocessor-directives with **build-depends** constraints in the *.cabal*-file.

0.9.0.12

* Either replaced instances of `(<$>)` with `fmap` to avoid ambiguity between **Control.Applicative** & **Prelude** which (from **base-4.8**) also exports this symbol, or hid the symbol when importing the **Prelude**..

0.9.0.13

* Added the compiler to the output returned for the command-line option **version**.
* Changed flag **threaded** in the *.cabal*-file to **manual**.
* Added **Default-language**-specification to the *.cabal*-file.
* Added file **README.markdown**.
* Converted this file to markdown-format.
* Replaced `System.Exit.exitWith System.Exit.ExitSuccess` with `System.Exit.exitSuccess`.
* Moved the entry-point to the test-suite from **Main.hs** to **Test.hs**, both to integrate with **cabal** & to minimise the dependencies of the executable.
* Partitioned the source-files into **src-lib**, **src-exe**, & **src-test** directories, & referenced them individually from the *.cabal*-file to avoid repeated compilation.
* Used **CPP** to control the import of symbols from **Control.Applicative**.
