(diff) 0.16.0

On update problems, please reach out to us. For support refere to: #984

Partial log (for now):

• Breaking:

  • Where coerce should work, removed newtype accessors.
  • (link), (link) Incomprehensible record accessors zoo like: arg, options, unStore, scFlavor, nsContext _provenance - was organized, now all record accessors start with get*, and their names tend to have according unique sematic meaning of data action they do.
  • Builder names got unified. Now they all start with mk*. So a lof of nvSet became mkNVSet.
  • Nix.String builders/destructors instead of make use mk, & where mentioning of string is superflous - dropped it from the name, so stringIgnoreContext, became ignoreContext.
  • Type system:
    • Things that are paths are now newtype Path = Path String.
    • Things that are indentifier names are now newtype VarName = VarName Text.
    • Function signatures changed accordingly.

• Additional:

  • (link) Matched expression escaping & its representation to breaking changes in Nix 2.4.
  • Builtins (builtins function set) gained functions:
    • (link) path
    • (link) isPathNix
    • (link) unsafeDiscardOutputDependency
    • (link) ceil
    • (link) floor
    • (link) hashFile
    • (link) groupBy
  • (link) data/nix submodule (& its tests) updated to 2022-01-17.

• Other notes:

  • Shorthands was kept untouched.
