Changelog for happy-lib-2.1

Revision history for Happy

2.1

2.0.2

The 2.0.1 release in turn exposed two more regressions:

This release fixes both.

2.0.1

The 2.0 release changed the indentation character from tabs to two spaces, triggering an unforced breaking change in GHC (#303). This release provides the fix by using eight spaces for indentation.

2.0

There are two main breaking changes in this release:

  1. Removed non-array, non-GHC modes, so flags -ag are the default now and become no-ops.
  2. Generated parsers now activate the language extension -XNoStrictData without which every use of a happy parser would lead to an immediate crash (#273). This causes us to drop support for GHC < 8.0.

Furthermore, the project structure was modularized and a library happy-lib containing the implmentation of the happy executable was extracted.

Quite similar to the situation with GHC vs. the GHC API, we expect that happy will continue to be a stable CLI tool with solid (if occasionally out of date) documentation, while the design, documentation and implementation of happy-lib is still in flux and use is only recommended to expert users.

Other, more minor changes:
