What's new?

New in 1.1.1

GHC 7.10 compatibility.

New in 1.1

In a nutshell, custom context directories and GHC 7.8 compatibility.

Breaking changes

  • The detection of whether the user prelude needs to be recompiled has been improved, leading to the removal of the no-longer useful --recompile flag.

"Breaking" changes (if you used internal stuff)

  • The haskell-awk library has changed.
  • The format of ~/.hawk/cache has changed.

New features

  • GHC 7.8 compatibility.
  • A context directory other than ~/.hawk can be specified.
  • A .hawk directory can be placed in the current directory (or one of its ancestors) and it will be used instead of ~/.hawk. This allows different projects to use different user preludes.

Bugfixes

  • Some examples from the documentation needed minor changes in order to produce the documented output.
  • hawk "" is now a syntax error.
  • cabal install --enable-tests no longer complains that the runtime isn't installed.

Minor improvements

  • The nomenclature for "lines" and "words" is now "records" and "fields", because the delimiters don't need to be newline and space.
  • Usage is shown when hawk is called with no arguments.
  • A warning message is displayed when ~/.hawk is first created.
  • More succinct --help output.
  • More uniform presentation of warnings and error messages.
