Changelog

jira-wiki-markup uses PVP Versioning. The changelog is available on GitHub.

Released 2020-04-04

Support was added for additional syntax constructs:
- citation markup (??citation??),
- links to attachments ([title^attachment.ext]), and
- user links ([~username]).
Changes to module Text.Jira.Markup:
- A new data type LinkType is exported from the module.
- Changes to type Inline:
  - a new constructor Citation has been added;
  - the Link constructor now takes an additional parameter of type LinkType.

Released 2020-04-02

Fixed rendering of image attributes: image attributes are separated by commas instead of pipes; the latter are used in block parameters.
Fixed parsing of blockquotes which are not preceeded by blank lines.
Ensure parsing of single-line blockquotes is possible even if there is no space between bq. marker and contents.
Fixed parsing of colors: parsing no longer fails for hexcolors which contain non-decimal digits.
Changes to module Text.Jira.Parser.Shared:
- New parsing function colorName which parses a color descriptor, i.e. either a name or a hexcolor.

Released 2020-03-28

Added check that a closing markup char is not preceeded by a whitespace character. Previously, plain text was still incorrectly treated as markup. E.g., the dashes in -> step -> used to be interpreted as delimiters marking deleted text.
Allows empty table cells; table parsing failed if one of the cells did not contain any content.
Changes to module Text.Jira.Parser.Core:
- A field stateLastSpcPos was added to data type ParserState to keep track of spaces.
- Function updateLastSpcPos was added to update the aforementioned field.
- Function afterSpace was added to test the field.

Released 2020-03-27

Fixed parsing of image parameters. Thumbnails and images with parameters were previously not recognized as images.

Released 2020-03-19

Fixed table detection in endOfParagraph parser: Tables were expected to have a space between the leading pipe(s) and the cell content. Lines like ||Name| were erroneously not recognized as the beginning of a new block.

Released 2020-03-18

Don't escape colon/semicolon unless necessary: it is necessary to escape colons or semicolons only if they could otherwise become part of a smiley.

Released 2020-03-18

Colon : and semicolon ; are now parsed as special characters, since they can be the first characters of an emoji.
Fixed parsing of words which contain non-special symbol characters: word boundaries were not set correctly if a word contained a dot . or similar chars.
Fixed incorrect emphasis parsing: digits were erroneously allows as the first characters after closing emphasis characters.

Released 2020-03-13.

Lists are now allowed to be indented; i.e., lists are still recognized if list markers are preceded by spaces.
Support for colored inlines has been added.
New constructor ColorInline for type Inline (API change).

Released 2019-12-17.

Add Doc datatype representing a full document; parse now returns this type.
Improve parsing:
- double-backslash is recognized as linebreak;
- emoticons are parsed as Emoji;
- special sequences of dashes are translated into their unicode representation;
- naked URLs are parsed as AutoLink;
- blocks of colored text are parsed as Color;
- interpretation of special characters as markup can be forced by surrounding them with curly braces.
A parser plainText was made available to read markup-less text.
Inline-parser symbol was renamed to specialChar.
Add printer module to render the document AST as Jira markup.
Markup datatype changes:
- new Block elements Color and HorizontalRule.
- new Inline elements Emoji, and Styled.
- Inline constructors Subscript, Superscript, Emph, Strong, Inserted, and Deleted have been remove. Use Styled instead.
- Constructor Image now takes a list of parameters as an additional argument.
CI runs also test GHC 8.8.
