Changelog of @hackage/units 2.2

Version 2.2

  • Some types of arithmetic operations are different to aid in type inference. For example, *| does not normalize its dimension list.

  • The types of the derive... TH functions now allow for deriving units based on composite dimensions/units.

  • New TH function to help declare constants, called declareConstant.

Version 2.1

  • Includes a decently comprehensive test suite.

  • Add support for unit parsing within expressions:

    g = 9.8 % [si| m/s^2 |]

    See Data.Metrology.Parser.

  • Now, Data.Metrology exports operators that work with the default LCSU. Use Data.Metrology.Poly to get the old, more flexible operators.

  • Moved showIn from Data.Metrology.Show to Data.Metrology.Poly. This allows users to import showIn without a Show instance for quantities.

  • Numeric operations are available based on vector spaces, as implemented in the vector-space library. See Data.Metrology.Vector.

  • Some documentation cleanup.

  • New function evalType that evaluates a type, using Template Haskell. This allows for easier instance declarations for quantities.

  • New class Quantity that allows for easy conversions with non-units types.

  • A few bugfixes.

  • The Eq and Ord instances now work over any quantity, not just dimensionless ones.

  • New functions in Data.Metrology.TH that define Dimension and Unit instances for you.

Version 2.0

This is a major update. units now supports the notion of a local unit set and of separable dimensions and units. See the description in the draft paper for more info.

This update will very likely break any code that used units-1.x.

The update was written in partnership with Takayuki Muranushi.

Version 1.1

  • Added dependency on the singletons library

  • Brought up to date with changes for GHC 7.8

  • Generalized numerical representation

  • Improved Haddock headers

Version 1.0.1

  • Fixed dependency on base to force compilation with GHC >= 7.7

Version 1.0

  • First release
