package travesty

v0.5.1 (2019-05-10)

As is becoming tradition, fixes a minor documentation comment caught between tagging on GitHub and publishing on OPAM. See the main changelog for details about what changed in v0.5.0.

v0.5.0 (2019-05-10)

Major release with new features and breaking changes, especially to module names and structures.

Breaking changes

See also the changes for v0.4.x, as that version didn't reach OPAM.

Extension modules

In a partial reversal of changes done in v0.4.x, the Travesty_base_exts and Travesty_core_kernel_exts modules no longer re-export the Base and Core_kernel modules on which they are based.

This means that any code using these extensions will need to open both original and extension modules (for example, by opening Travesty_base_exts as Tx and using Tx.List when Travesty extensions are needed.

This change avoids a large amount of coupling, inefficiency, and possible legal issues caused by including swathes of third party libraries.

Traversable module renaming

The functors, and signatures in Traversable have been renamed drastically to make them more consistent, and provide a better distinction between 'in-monad' and 'out-of-monad' signatures:

• SX is now BasicX_on_monad, to reflect that it only refers to the basic inner On_monad part of a traversable;

• Generic is now Generic_basic_on_monad, as per the above;

• On_monad1 is now S1_on_monad. There is no S0_on_monad yet, but this may change.

• SX_container is now just SX, as it forms the main output of the Traversable functors;

• GenericX_container is now just GenericX, to follow suit;

• BasicX is unchanged;

• Basic_containerX is now BasicX_container;

• Extend_containerX is now MakeX_container (as it makes an SX from a BasicX_container);

• Make_containerX is now MakeX (as it transforms a BasicX).

### Bi_mappable module renaming

Similarly, Bi_mappable's functors and signatures have been renamed:

• SX_with_extensions is now just SX;

• The various Extensions modules no longer exist;

• The Extend functors are now Make functors.

Other

• Traversable.S1 no longer carries With_elt. This is now a separate functor in Traversable called Fix_elt.

• The various Bi_mappable.Extensions signatures no longer carry Fix_left, Fix_right, Map_left, and Map_right. These are now separate functors, and don't apply the extensions by default.

• See when_m and unless_m below: these now have an optional argument, which may cause breakage in rare situations.

• Various modules and functor targets that previously substituted destructively now output sharing constraints. This means that, this side of OCaml 4.08, you may need to wrap some functor results in a module type of X with type t := t stanza. This is to make it easier to chain together such modules.

New features

Bi_mappable

• New functors for fixing left and right types, as well as converting bi-mappables to mappables by focusing on one type. These replace the modules previously generated by Bi_mappable.Extensions.

• Added several more composition functors.

• Conversion functors no longer destructively substitute.

Extended Option

• Now includes Monad_exts.

Extended Or_error

• Now a bi-mappable type.

Monad_exts

• M.when_m and M.unless_m now take an optional parameter ?otherwise, which allows generalising the application of M.return when the condition doesn't hold.

• New functions M.map_when_m and M.map_unless_m, which generalise when_m and unless_m to take an arbitrary 'a (and pass it to ~f).

• New functions then_m and >>, which act as Haskell's >> (then) operator.

• New functions compose_m and >=>, which act as Haskell's >=> (Kleisli composition) operator.

v0.4.1 (2019-05-07)

Minor documentation fixup release. No other changes since v0.4.0. (Not released on OPAM.)

v0.4.0 (2019-05-07)

Major release with incompatible name and library division changes. (Not released on OPAM.)

Breaking changes

The main change in this release is that all 'extension' modules (T_xyz) have been renamed or moved into subpackages of Travesty:

• Singleton now lives in Travesty_containers.

• T_monad and T_container have changed to Monad_exts and Container_exts;

• Every other T_ module now lives in either Travesty_base_exts or Travesty_core_kernel_exts, and no longer has the T_ suffix.

• Modules in Base_exts depend on, and extend, the Base version of their namesake module.

• Modules in Core_kernel_exts depend on, and extend, the Core_kernel version of their namesake module. Usually, they do so by importing the extensions from the Base_exts version on top of an import of the Core_kernel baseline module.

Other breaking changes:

• Fn.on now takes its second argument with the label ~f.

New features

This release contains a large amount of 'small' new features. Most of these are of minor extensions and convenience functions on top of Base and Core_kernel

• Submodule split: Travesty-unique containers are now in Travesty_containers (dune: travesty.containers); extensions to Base containers are in Travesty_base_exts (travesty.base_exts); similar extensions to Core_kernel containers are in Travesty_core_kernel_exts.

• Add Monad_exts.tee, which is a counterpart to tee_m that accepts a non-monadic function. (This is somewhat less useful, but still helps in terms of slotting, say, debug printing into a monadic pipeline.)

• Extensions: add Or_error.combine_map[_unit], which are shorthand for mapping followed by combine_errors[_unit]. These should be used instead of map_m and iter_m when using lists and Or_error.

• Extensions: add Tuple2, an extended Core_kernel.Tuple2 adding bi-mappability.

• Add chaining for arity-2 bi-mappable containers across arity-1 mappable containers. We now implement Alist's bi-mappable interface using this and Tuple2.

• Fn: add always, which behaves like const true; and never, which behaves as const false.

• Alist: add compose, which is the relational composition on two associative lists.

• Travesty_containers.Zipper: implementations of list zippers (imported from act, and subject to change).

• List extensions: added With_errors.replace_m, replace, and insert functions (imported from act, and subject to change). Future versions may generalise replace_m to act on any monad.

• List.Assoc in the extension modules is now an alias for Alist, bringing the bifunctor extensions into scope there.

Other

• Bi_mappable: Fix_left and Fix_right's signatures no longer destructively substitute t, so Alist.Fix_left(String).t should now work.

v0.3.0 (2019-03-03)

Major release with incompatible dependency and name changes.

Breaking changes

• Now targeting v0.12 of Jane Street's upstream libraries. This release of travesty no longer supports v0.11.

• As a result, travesty no longer supports OCaml 4.06; please use 4.07+.

• Traversable signature names have changed: Basic_container0 is now Basic0, and Basic_container1 is now Basic1. The original names are now used for stronger interfaces that include implementations of Container.S*; see 'new features' below for information.

New features

• Add T_container.Extensions0 and Extend0, which generalise most of Extensions1/Extend1 to arity-0 containers.

• Generalise T_container's predicate extensions (any/all/none) over arity-0 containers, provided that their elt is x -> bool for some x.

• Add Bi_mappable, an implementation of bifunctors.

• Add T_alist, an extended form of List.Assoc.

• Split the Traversable container functors into two kinds: the Make_container* functors now take Basic* signatures (but are otherwise the same---they still produce their own Container.S* instances); the new Extend_container* functors take the now-stronger Basic_container* signatures, which include custom implementations of Container.S*, and use those instead. The idea is that Make is for building new containers from traversals, and Extend is for adding traversals to existing containers.

Other

• T_list and T_option now use Extend_container1 internally: the upshot of this is that they re-use the existing Core implementations of container operations where possible, rather than (slowly) re-building them using fold_m.

v0.2.0 (2018-12-23)

Major release.

Breaking changes

• Potentially breaking change: Traversable.S0_container now contains module Elt : Equal.S, and constrains type elt to be equal to Elt.t. This reflects the situation in Basic_container0, and shouldn't break any code using Make_container0, but may cause custom-built modules to fail to type-check.

• T_container.any's arguments have swapped order, to be more in line with Core idioms.

New features

• Add Traversable.Chain0, a functor for combining two S0_container instances together for nested traversal.

• Add T_fn.disj to go with T_fn.conj.

• Add Filter_mappable, which generalises List.filter_map.

• Add tee_m to monad extensions. This is a small wrapper over f x >>| fun () -> x that allows unit-returning monadic side-effects to be treated as part of a monad pipeline.

• Add T_or_error: monad extensions for Core.Or_error.

• one and two are now implemented on T_container, not just T_list. The errors are slightly less precise, but otherwise nothing has changed.

• Add T_container.at_most_one to complement one and two.

• Add Monad.To_mappable, which makes sure that monads can be converted to mappables.

• Add T_container.all and none, to complement any.

Other

• Improve API documentation.

v0.1.3 (2018-12-13)

Bugfix release.

• Fix incorrect module name (was Lib, not Travesty).

• Restrict to OCaml v4.06+ (this was the case in the final v0.1.2 OPAM release, but not upstream).

v0.1.2 (2018-12-12)

Bugfix and minor improvement release.

• Improve API documentation.

• Move functors and concrete modules out of Intf files.

• Generally rationalise the interface ready for a public release.

• Add various container modules from act: Singleton, T_list, and T_option.

v0.1.1 (2018-12-10)

Bugfix release.

• Move API documentation, in an attempt to get dune-release to work.

v0.1 (2018-12-10)

Initial release.

Existing functionality migrated from act's utils directory.
