Changelog of @hackage/threepenny-gui 0.9.0.0

Changelog for the threepenny-gui package

0.9.0.0 – Maintenance and snapshot release

  • The events contextmenu, mousedown, mousemove and mouseup now return Double coordinates instead of Ints. This change reflects updates to the underlying browser APIs and the jQuery library. #238

    Users who prefer to keep working with Int coordinates may use the added roundCoordinates compatibility function.

  • Bump dependencies to allow aeson 1.5.

0.8.3.2 – Maintenance release

  • Bump dependencies for compatibility with GHC-8.10.

0.8.3.1 – Maintenance release

  • Bump dependencies for compatibility with GHC-8.8.
  • Bump dependencies to allow hashable 1.3.0.0.
  • Remove support for GHC 7.6 and 7.8.

0.8.3.0 – Maintenance and snapshot release

  • Export keypress event.
  • Fix the spelling of the refX and refY SVG attributes. refX and refY are added to Graphics.UI.Threepenny.SVG.Attributes, the old lowercase versions are deprecated.
  • Invoke compatibility mode of IE11 for jQuery v3.2.1.
  • Compatibility with GHC-8.6.1

0.8.2.4 – Maintenance release

  • Remove redundant dependencies on network-uri and network
  • Bump dependencies to allow aeson 1.4.0.0
  • Exclude websockets 0.12.5.0 from dependencies.

0.8.2.3 – Maintenance release

  • Compatibility with GHC-8.4.1
  • Bump dependencies to allow aeson 1.3.0.0
  • Bump dependencies to allow exceptions 0.10.0
  • Bump dependencies to allow snap-server 1.1.0.0

0.8.2.2 – Maintenance release

  • Bump dependencies to allow exceptions 0.9.0

0.8.2.1 — Maintenance release

  • Bump dependencies to allow async 2.2
  • Fix a compatibility issue with Cabal-2.0

0.8.2.0 — Snapshot release

  • Add getCookies function that retrieves the cookies sent with the HTTP request when the browser window connects (to the websocket). #137

  • Allow Electron process to be accessed from JavaScript FFI. #200 This means that Threepenny is now more useful when used with the Electron framework, see doc/electron.md for more information on that.

  • Bump dependencies to allow file-embed 0.0.10.1

0.8.1.0 — Snapshot release

  • Improve documentation and handling of call buffering (CallBufferMode). The default call buffer mode was documented incorrectly, it was BufferRun and is now FlushOften. #163, #191, #192

  • Add new default CallBufferMode: FlushOften. This mode is like BufferRun, but will flush the buffer at every onEvent as well, leading to less confusion when using the library in most circumstances. #191

  • Add new CallBufferMode: FlushPeriodically. This mode is like BufferRun, but will flush the call buffer every 300ms if nonempty. #192

  • Add support for custom DOM events (CustomEvent). #196

  • Expose JavaScript FFI functions toJSObject and liftJSWindow in Graphics.UI.Threepenny. This is useful for linking the lifetime of JavaScript objects to the lifetime of Element. #181

  • Use jsLog parameter to log exceptions. #185

  • Update bundled jQuery to version 3.2.1. #186

0.8.0.1 — Maintenance release

  • Bump dependencies for compatibility with GHC-8.2.1
  • Bump dependencies to allow websockets 0.12

0.8.0.0 — Snapshot release

Graphics.UI.Threepenny

  • Fix getElementById to properly return Nothing when no element with the given id attribute is present. #129.
  • Bring back loadFile and loadDirectory. #110
  • Add MonadUI typeclass for easier lifting in custom monad stacks. #173

JavaScript FFI

  • Implement batching / buffering for FFI calls. #131. Several calls to the runFunction function may now buffer the JavaScript code and send it to the browser window in a single message at a later time. This improves performance considerably.

  • Clarify semantics for exceptions. See the file doc/javascript-ffi.md for more.

    • The UI monad now supports exception handling by being an instance of the type classes MonadThrow and MonadCatch.
    • The function callFunction can now throw a JavaScriptException exception to the Haskell side.
    • The function runFunction now terminates the connection to the browser window whenever the JavaScript code within throws an exception.

  • Exceptions in the UI monad that are not handled are now printed properly for better debugging. #145

  • Clarify semantics of the disconnect event. It is now triggered more reliably. #133.

  • Remove unnecessary client response when exporting event handlers. #131.

  • Add option jsWindowReloadOnDisconnect to reload the browser window #130 whenever the WebSocket connection is broken. This is useful for e.g. mobile devices, which tend to disconnect WebSocket connections very often.

Dependencies

  • Add dependency on exceptions

0.7.0.0 — Maintenance and snapshot release

  • JavaScript FFI: Reduce communication from browser to server when creating Elements. New function unsafeCreateJSObject to create JavaScript objects without waiting for a client response. #131

  • JavaScript FFI: Implement escape sequence '%%' when calling JavaScript functions. #132.

  • Change type of onEvent function to allow unregistering events.

  • Add function timestamp for simple performance measurements.

0.6.0.5 — Maintenance release

  • Bump dependencies to allow async 2.1
  • Bump dependencies to allow transformers 0.5

0.6.0.4 — Maintenance release.

  • Elements that have become unreachable, for instance because they have been removed from the DOM and are no longer reachable in the Haskell code, will be garbage collected again. Fix #109, #113.

  • Adjust dependencies.

  • Add <meta> tag to indicate UTF8 encoding in html file. #116

0.6.0.3 — Maintenance release.

  • Temporary fix for #109, which was causing event handlers to be discarded. Unfortunately, this means that elements are currently not garbage collected after they have been removed from the DOM tree.

0.6.0.2 — Maintenance release.

  • Remove unused direct dependencies, in particular ** attoparsec-enumerator ** utf8-string ** MonadCatchIO-transformers ** time

0.6.0.1 — Maintenance release.

  • The ADDR environment variable is now parsed correctly.
  • Now builds on GHC 7.8 and GHC 7.10
  • The example source code in the samples folder has been reorganized and consolidated.

0.6.0.0 — Snapshot release.

  • The internals of the JavaScript FFI has been reimplemented completely. A new module Foreign.JavaScript exports a bare JavaScript FFI in case you want to write a custom GUI framework. However, the module Graphics.UI.Threepenny is not compatible with it, even though it builds on top of it.
  • The fields of Config type for server configuration are now prefixed with js instead of tp. Example: jsPort, jsStatic.
  • The functions loadFile and loadDirectory have been removed, as I felt that the jsStatic option is sufficient for most use cases.

0.5.0.0 — Snapshot release.

  • Possibility to specify IP address to bind the server to.
  • FFI now supports callbacks into Haskell. Remove callDeferredFunction function.
  • Graphics.UI.Threepenny.Canvas.SVG for creating SVG elements and attributes.
