CHANGELOG.markdown

5.2.3 [2023.08.24]

• Allow building with GHC 9.8.
• Add new Prisms to Language.Haskell.TH.Lens to reflect recent additions to template-haskell:
  • _GetFieldE and _ProjectionE Prisms for the Exp data type, whose corresponding data constructors were introduced in template-haskell-2.18.*.
  • _TypedBracketE and _TypedSpliceE Prisms for the Exp data type, whose corresponding data constructors were introduced in template-haskell-2.21.*.
  • _BndrReq and _BndrInvis Prisms for the BndrVis data type, which was added in template-haskell-2.21.*.
• Add a generateRecordSyntax option to Control.Lens.TH, which controls whether to generate lenses using record update syntax or not. By default, this option is disabled.
• Fix a bug in which the declare* Template Haskell functions would fail if a data type's field has a type that is defined in the same Template Haskell quotation.
• Add altOf, which collects targets into any Alternative.

5.2.2 [2023.03.18]

• Fix a bug in which calling ix i (where i is a negative number) on Text or ByteString would return the Just the first character instead of returning Nothing.

5.2.1 [2023.02.27]

• Allow building with GHC 9.6.
• Allow building with GHC backends where HTYPE_SIG_ATOMIC_T is not defined, such as the WASM backend.
• Support building with th-abstraction-0.5.*.
• Define _TypeDataD in Language.Haskell.TH.Lens when building with template-haskell-2.20.0.0 (GHC 9.6) or later.

5.2 [2022.08.11]

• Allow building with GHC 9.4.

• The type of universeOf has changed:

  -universeOf :: Getting       [a]  a a -> a -> [a]
  +universeOf :: Getting (Endo [a]) a a -> a -> [a]

  In many cases, using Endo [a] over [a] improves performance. Most call sites to universeOf will not be affected by this change, although you may need to update your code if you define your own combinators in terms of universeOf.

• Allow makeWrapped to accept the names of data constructors. This way, makeWrapped can be used with data family instances, much like other functions in Control.Lens.TH.

• Define _OpaqueP, _DefaultD, _LamCasesE, _PromotedInfixT, and _PromotedUInfixT in Language.Haskell.TH.Lens when building with template-haskell-2.19.0.0 (GHC 9.4) or later.

5.1.1 [2022.05.17]

• Add Data.HashSet.Lens.hashMap, an Iso between a HashSet a and a HashMap a ().

• Allow building with transformers-0.6.* and mtl-2.3.*.

  Note that lens no longer defines Zoom instances for ErrorT or ListT when building with mtl-2.3 or later. This is because MonadState is a superclass of Zoom, and the MonadState instances for ErrorT and ListT were removed in mtl-2.3. Be watchful of this if you build lens with mtl-2.3 (or later) combined with an older version of transformers (pre-0.6) that defines ErrorT or ListT.

5.1 [2021.11.15]

• Allow building with GHC 9.2.

• Drop support for GHC 7.10 and older.

• The type of _ConP in Language.Haskell.TH.Lens is now Prism' Pat (Name, [Type], [Pat]) instead of Prism' Pat (Name, [Pat]) when building with template-haskell-2.18 or later.

• Define _CharTyLit in Language.Haskell.TH.Lens when building with template-haskell-2.18 or later.

• Add Prefixed and Suffixed classes to Control.Lens.Prism, which provide prefixed and suffixed prisms for prefixes and suffixes of sequence types. These classes generalize the prefixed and suffixed functions in Data.List.Lens, which were previously top-level functions. In addition to providing Prefixed and Suffixed instances for lists, instances for Text and ByteString types are also provided.

  At present, Prefixed and Suffixed are re-exported from Data.List.Lens for backwards compatibility. This may change in a future version of lens, however.

• Add a traversal function to Control.Lens.Traversal. This function, aside from acting as a Traversal counterpart to the lens and prism functions, provides documentation on how to define Traversals.

• Add a matching' function to Control.Lens.Prism. matching' is like matching, but with a slightly more general type signature that allows it to work with combinations of Lenses, Prisms, and Traversals.

5.0.1 [2021.02.24]

• Fix a bug in which makeLenses could produce ill kinded optics for poly-kinded datatypes in certain situations.

5 [2021.02.17]

• Support building with GHC 9.0.

• Remove the Swapped type class in favor of Swap from the assoc package.

• Remove the Strict type class in favor of Strict from the strict package.

  The swapped, strict and lazy isomorphisms are now defined using "new" type classes.

  Users which define own instances of old type classes are advised to define instances of the new ones.

  import qualified Data.Bifunctor.Swap as Swap
  import qualified Control.Lens        as Lens
  
  instance Swap.Swap MyType where
    swap = ...
  
  #if !MIN_VERSION_lens(4,20,0)
  instance Lens.Swapped MyType where
    swapped = iso Swap.swap Swap.swap
  #endif

• The FunctorWithIndex, FoldableWithIndex and TraversableWithIndex type classes have been migrated to a new package, indexed-traversable.

  The imapped, ifolded and itraversed methods are now top-level functions. If you are not defining these methods in your instances, you don't need to change your definitions.

  Beware: the optics-core package (versions <0.4) defines similar classes, and will also migrate to use indexed-traversable classes. Therefore, you might get duplicate instance errors if your package defines both.

  If you define your own FunctorWithIndex etc. instances, we recommend that you depend directly on the indexed-traversable package. If you want to continue support lens-4 users, you may write

  -- from indexed-traversable
  import Data.Functor.WithIndex
  
  -- from lens
  import qualified Control.Lens as L
  
  -- your (indexed) container
  data MySeq a = ...
  
  -- indexed-traversable instance
  instance FunctorWithIndex     Int MySeq where imap = ...
  instance FoldableWithIndex    Int MySeq where ifoldMap = ...
  instance TraversableWithIndex Int MySeq where itraverse = ...
  
  -- lens <5 instance, note the !
  #if !MIN_VERSION_lens(5,0,0)
  instance L.FunctorWithIndex     Int MySeq where imap = imap
  instance L.FoldableWithIndex    Int MySeq where ifoldMap = ifoldMap
  instance L.TraversableWithIndex Int MySeq where itraverse = itraverse
  #endif

  In other words, always provide indexed-traversable instances. If your package depends on lens and allows lens-4, you should additionally provide instances for lens-4 type classes that can reuse the indexed-traversable instances.

• Make the functions in Control.Lens.TH work more robustly with poly-kinded data types. This can cause a breaking change under certain situations:

  • TH-generated optics for poly-kinded data types are now much more likely to mention kind variables in their definitions, which will require enabling the PolyKinds extension at use sites in order to typecheck.
  • Because TH-generated optics now quantify more kind variables than they did previously, this can affect the order of visible type applications.

• Generalize the types of generic and generic1 to allow type-changing updates. If you wish to use the old, more restricted types of these functions, use simple . generic or simple . generic1 instead.

• Add Control.Lens.Profunctor with conversion functions to and from profunctor optic representation.

• Add Control.Lens.Review.reviewing, which is like review but with a more polymorphic type.

• Mark Control.Lens.Equality as Trustworthy.

• The build-type has been changed from Custom to Simple. To achieve this, the doctests test suite has been removed in favor of using cabal-docspec to run the doctests.

• Use alterF in At (HashMap k) instance implementation.

• Use alterF in At and Contains instances for Set, IntSet, and HashSet.

• Avoid re-inserting keys already present in ix for Set, IntSet, and HashSet. For Set and HashSet, this changes the semantics slightly; if the user-supplied key is == to one already present in the set, then the latter will not be replaced in the result.

• Consume () values lazily in Control.Lens.At.

4.19.2 [2020.04.15]

• Remove the test suite's dependency on test-framework-th.

4.19.1 [2020.02.13]

• Fix a bug introduced in 4.19 where using _TupE to preview a value would always fail.

4.19 [2020.02.03]

• Support building with GHC 8.10.
• The types of _TupE and _UnboxedTupE are now Prism' Exp [Maybe Exp] when built against template-haskell-2.16 or later to reflect the new types of TupE and UnboxedTupE.
• Add _ForallVisT and _BytesPrimL prisms when building against template-haskell-2.16 or later.
• Make <>~ and <>= and their <op and <<op state variants require only Semigroup, not Monoid.
• Add {Functor,Foldable,Traversable}WithIndex instances for Control.Applicative.Const and Data.Functor.Constant.Constant.

4.18.1 [2019.09.13]

• Remove the use of cpp-options: -traditional. This should be unnecessary on all versions of GHC that lens supports, as modern GHCs already use -traditional internally during preprocessing. More critically, the use of cpp-options: -traditional breaks profiling builds on GHC 8.8 (see https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17185).

4.18 [2019.09.06]

• Support building with GHC 8.8.

• Add xplat and xplatf.

• Flip auf to take the Iso in the same direction as au. Use the new xplatf or just call coerce for the old form.

• Weaken holeInOne's Category p constraint to Comonad (Corep p).

• Generalize the type of GHC.Generics.Lens.generic1 from Iso' (f a) (Rep1 f a) to Iso (f a) (f b) (Rep1 f a) (Rep1 f b).

• makeClassyPrisms now supports generating prisms for data types that share a name with one of its constructors. In such a scenario, the name of the classy prism for the data type will be prefixed with an extra _ (for prefix names) or . (for infix names) to disambiguate it from the prism for the constructor.

• Several type classes in Control.Exception.Lens now have additional prisms corresponding to the data type that they focus on, in accordance with the new convention established in the bullet point above. For example, AsNonTermination now has an additional __NonTermination :: Prism' t NonTermination method, and the existing _NonTermination :: Prism' t () method now has a default implementation in terms of __NonTermination.

  As a consequence of this change, you may need to update instances of these classes to implement the new prisms.

• Add additional bifunctor instances for Swapped.

• New lenses head1 and last1, to access the first/last elements of a Traversable1 container.

• Add filteredBy.

• Add adjoin to Control.Lens.Unsound.

• Add Each (Either a a) (Either b b) a b instance.

• Make magnify offer its getter argument the Contravariant and Functor instances it will require. This allows magnify to be used without knowing the concrete monad being magnified.

• Add equality, equality', withEquality, underEquality, overEquality, fromLeibniz, fromLeibniz' and cloneEquality to Control.Lens.Equality.

• Add withLens to Control.Lens.Lens.

• Make substEq and simply in Control.Lens.Equality and withIso in Control.Lens.Iso levity polymorphic.

4.17.1 [2019.04.26]

• Support th-abstraction-0.3.0.0 or later.
• Only incur semigroups and void dependencies on old GHCs.
• Add holes1Of
• Add locally ekmett#829
• Add ilocally ekmett#836
• Add third Prism law.
• Add gplate1
• Add Wrapped/Rewrapped instances for Data.Monoid.Ap.

4.17 [2018.07.03]

• Allow building with GHC 8.6.
• Make the instances for Product and (:*:) in Control.Lens.Tuple poly-kinded.
• Make the definitions in GHC.Generics.Lens poly-kinded.
• Make (%%@~), (%%@=), (<%@=), and (<<%@=) consume an Over (Indexed i) instead of an IndexedLensLike i to improve type inference.
• Add an AsEmpty instance for ZipList.

4.16.1 [2018.03.23]

• Re-export (<&>) from Data.Functor on base-4.11 and later.
• Added Cons and Snoc instances for Control.Applicative.ZipList
• Fix a bug in which makeFields would generate equality constraints for field types involving data families, which are unnecessary.
• Improve the performance of holesOf.

4.16 [2018.01.28]

• The Semigroup instances for Traversed and Sequenced are now more constrained (going from Apply to Applicative and Monad, respectively). In GHC 8.4, Semigroup is a superclass of Monoid, therefore we'd need to have Apply constraint in the Monoid instances. We opted to weaken our ability to use Apply than to lose compatibility with third-party packages that don't supply instances for Apply.

  In practice this changes the (specialised) type signature of traverseOf_

  - traverseOf_ :: Apply f       => Fold1 s a -> (a -> f r) -> s -> f ()
  + traverseOf_ :: Applicative f => Fold1 s a -> (a -> f r) -> s -> f ()
  

  and similarly for forOf_ and sequenceOf_.

  As part of this change, new combinators traverse1Of_, for1Of_ and sequence1Of_ were added for Apply-only effects.

  Similar instance context changes were made for Folding and Effect, but these changes aren't publicly visible.

• Add Control.Lens.Unsound, which exports unsound functionality for forming products of lenses and sums of prisms.

• Add Numeric.Natural.Lens, which export convenient isomorphisms for natural numbers.

• Add Strict instances for strict and lazy ST.

• Adapt Language.Haskell.TH.Lens for template-haskell-2.13 (bundled with GHC 8.4).

• Add Semigroup and Monoid instances for Indexing.

4.15.4

• makeFields and declareFields are now smarter with respect to type families. Because GHC does not allow mentioning type families in instance heads, the Template Haskell machinery works around this restriction by instead generating instances of the form:

  type family Fam a
  data Rec a = Rec { _recFam :: Fam a }
  makeFields ''Rec
  
  ===>
  
  instance (b ~ Fam a) => HasFam (Rec a) b where ...

  This requires enabling the UndecidableInstances extension, so this trick is only employed when a field's type contains a type family application.

• declareFields now avoids creating duplicate field classes that are shared among multiple datatypes within the same invocation.

• The Template Haskell machinery will no longer generate optics for fields whose types mention existentially quantified type variables.

• Add HasCallStack constraints to partial operations

• Reexport (.@~) and (.@=) from Control.Lens.Operators

• Support doctest-0.13

4.15.3

• Generalized types of transformMOf, transformOf, transformMOnOf, transformOnOf, rewriteMOf, rewriteOf, rewriteMOnOf and rewriteOnOf.
• Depend on th-abstraction package for normalizing differences across template-haskell versions

4.15.2

• Build with GHC 8.2
• Expand tuple accessors to support up to 19-tuples
• Add more Rewrapped and Wrapped instances for data types from the base, bifunctors, exceptions, free, profunctors, and semigroupoids libraries
• Add a Generic default implementation for Wrapped
• Add Wrapped instances for data types introduced in Foreign.C.Types and System.Posix.Types in base-4.10.0.0
• Add prisms for recently introduced data types in Control.Exception
• Revamp Setup.hs to use cabal-doctest. This makes it build with Cabal-1.25, and makes the doctests work with cabal new-build and sandboxes.
• Add makeFieldsNoPrefix, a variant of makeFields which gives the desired behavior in the presence of DuplicateRecordFields. Also add classUnderscoreNoPrefixFields and classUnderscoreNoPrefixNamer, the corresponding LensRules and FieldNamer, respectively.
• Add toNonEmptyOf, first1Of, last1Of, minimum1Of, and maximum1Of to Control.Lens.Fold
• Add both1 to Control.Lens.Traversal
• Generalize the type of levels and ilevels in Control.Lens.Level to work on Folds
• Generalize the type of getting in Control.Lens.Getter to work with any Optical
• Add throwing_ to Control.Monad.Error.Lens and Control.Exception.Lens
• Fix the meta-data in the .cabal file to properly indicate that this project has a BSD2 license

4.15.1

• Restore the generic and generic1 functions in GHC.Generics.Lens

4.15

• Remove Generics.Deriving.Lens module.
• Incorporate URec, which was introduced in GHC.Generics in base-4.9. For compatibility with older versions of base, lens now conditionally depends on generic-deriving
• Add Rewrapped instance for ExceptT
• Add FunctorWithIndex, FoldableWithIndex, and TraversableWithIndex instances for Sum, Proxy, Tagged and data types in GHC.Generics
• Remove unneeded context from *WithIndex HashMap instances
• Add Data.Map.Lens.toMapOf
• Add moral Functor constraint for to ito ilike ilike to allow the "indented" type signature using Getter with redundant warnings turned on.

4.14

• Remove Cons and Snoc instances for NonEmpty.

4.13.2.1

• Fixed itraverse_ and imapM_ returning bottom

4.13.2

• Restore default signature for Control.Lens.At.at
• Improve operations for Data.Sequence.Seq
• Fix declarePrisms behavior on GHC 8 using GADT record syntax

4.13.1

• Removed .ghci.
• Added lookupOf
• Support GHC 8
• Support transformers 0.5
• Support kan-extensions 5
• Support comonad 5
• Better support for Closed from profunctors.

4.13

• Pattern synonyms
• Moved foldMapBy and foldBy into reflection 2.1
• Added traverseByOf, sequenceByOf.
• Reexported traverseBy and sequenceBy from reflection 2.1.
• Modified the signatures of alaf and auf to work with a Functor rather than a Profunctor and rather drastically generalized them.
• Removed Control.Lens.Internal.Getter.coerce in favor of the upstream phantom combinator in contravariant 1.3+
• Renamed coerced to phantasm to get it out of the way.
• Added Wrapped instance for Down

4.12.3

• Move Review and AReview to Control.Lens.Type fixing a bug in makePrisms
• Expose HasTypes class in Language.Haskell.TH.Lens
• Make types of foldByOf and foldMapByOf more specific to hide implementation details
• Add Prisms to Language.Haskell.TH for new constructors in template-haskell-2.10
• Generalize type of _FunDep to an Iso

4.12.2

• Incorporated a bug fix for foldByOf and foldMapByOf to actually let them work on folds.
• Added a Plated instance for CofreeT

4.12.1

• The Simple type alias is now poly-kinded. This lets you use Simple Field1 s a and the like in constraints.
• Added HasTypes to Language.Haskell.TH.Lens.
• Support for vector-0.11.0 which changes Stream to Bundle

4.12

• reflection 2 support.

4.11.2

• Give cosmosOn a more general type.

4.11.1

• Added cosmos, cosmosOf, cosmosOn, cosmosOnOf to Control.Lens.Plated.
• Added icontains, iat, iix.
• Made various documentation improvements.
• Added a test-templates flag.

4.11

• Proper profunctors 5.1 support. This extended the superclass constraints for Conjoined, so it resulted in a major version bump.

4.10

• Added elemIndexOf, elemIndicesOf, findIndexOf, and findIndicesOf.
• Fixed Ixed instance for Tree. It no longer drops nodes prior to the traversed node.
• bifunctors 5, profunctors 5 and semigroupoids 5 support.

4.9.1

• Added _Wrapped support for NonEmpty.
• Added _Wrapped support for Alt.
• Fixed Rewrapped instance for Last.

4.9

• filepath 1.4 support
• Removed Control.Monad.Primitive.Lens and shed the primitive dependency.
• Add missing _WithIndex instances from keys package
• Much more code is inferred Safe rather than Trustworthy.
• Documented the difference between unsafeSingular and singular.
• folding now produces an actual Fold.
• Cleaned up builds for GHC 7.10 to get rid of redundant import warnings.

4.8

• When built with profunctors 4.4 on GHC 7.8+ we no longer need to use unsafeCoerce at all! This drastically reduces the level of trust involved in the way we have optimized lens.
• Added fusing. This optimizes long Lens chains, by enfocing a form of fmap fusion based on the Yoneda lemma. This is particularly effective at making faster lenses the definition is recursive or complex enough that it cannot be inlined.
• Added confusing. This optimizes long Traversal chains. As with fusing it is best used when the definition for the Traversal chain in question is recursive or complex enough that it cannot be inlined, but the implementation is much more confusing.
• Remove deprecated stuff: Control.Lens.Loupe, headOf, makeFieldsWith, strippingPrefix, strippingSuffix
• Added Cons and Snoc instances for NonEmpty
• Removed Data.List.Split.Lens module
• Reimplemented bytestring traversals to avoid internal modules
• Added gplate, an implementation of plate for any type implementing Generic
• Strictness revisited
  • Add generateLazyPatterns configuration flag to makeLenses rules.
  • Make the default makeLenses behavior to generate STRICT optics
  • Add strict variants of _1 .. _9 named _1' .. _9'
• Generalized some combinators in Data.Vector.Generic.Lens and added converted

4.7

• Migrated Control.Lens.Action to lens-action.
• Added Data.Vector.Generic.Lens.vectorIx function for indexing vectors with only Vector constraint.
• Added Field1 and Field2 instances for Data.Functor.Product.Product.
• Removed the "typeclass synonym" Gettable.
• Added new flag to makeLenses, generateUpdateableOptics, which allows the generation of only Getters and Folds. This feature is intended to be used when the constructors are hidden behind validating, "smart" constructors.
• Fixed Template Haskell name generation when using GHC 7.10
• Fixed Template Haskell generation of classes methods where field types used existential quantification

4.6.0.1 [maintenance release]

• Compatibility with base 4.8 [Edit: this turned out to not work for the final release of GHC 7.10]

4.6

• Reduced Review to two arguments, like Getter.
• Added abbreviatedFields to permit makeFieldsWith to be invoked with an argument that lets it act like it did pre-4.5 and accept arbitrary common prefixes.

4.5

• Provide access to the typename in lensRules naming function.
• makeFields camelcasing rules now properly support types with camelcasing. MyType with field myTypeFieldA generates fieldA now. Previously the prefix ignore capitalization and the field would need to be named mytypeFieldA.
• makeClassy works on types even when none of the fields would generate optics.
• Added Monad, MonadReader, MonadPlus and Bind instances for ReifiedMonadicFold
• Added missing fixity declarations on many operators.
• Migrated Codec.Compression.Zlib.Lens to zlib-lens package.

4.4.0.2

• text 1.2.0.0 support
• Remove the use of the TemplateHaskell extension from the library to enable lens to be used on stage1 cross-compilers

4.4.0.1

• Restore previous default of makeFields using the camel case field namer.

4.4

• Internals of Template Haskell code generation rewritten. makeLenses, makeClassy, and makeFields have been unified into the same generator.
• TH generated single constructor Lens use irrefutable pattern matching to enable construction starting with undefined.
• TH generated traverals unify their field arguments (type synonyms not currently expanded) enabling exotic traversals to be generated.
• Added instances for Text to Data.Aeson.Lens
• Reimplemented makePrisms, adding support for makeClassyPrisms, infix constructrs generate periods (.) prefixed prisms.
• Added Choice to Review so that Prism is a proper subtype of Review
• Migrated Data.Aeson.Lens to lens-aeson package.
• Fixed GHC.Generics.Lens.tinplate behavior on single-field data types and empty data types.

4.3.3

• semigroupoids 4.2 support

4.3.2

• contravariant 1.0 support

4.3.1

• Added bytewise to Data.Bits

4.3

• Switched the "direction" of the Iso argument to au to match the order generated by makePrisms and makeLenses.
• Removed makeIsos in favor of makePrisms and makeLenses. Each of these functions will construct Isos when appropriate.
• Removed declareIsos in favor of declarePrisms and declareLenses. Each of these functions will construct Isos when appropriate.
• Added matching for type-changing matches with Prisms.
• Added withPrism for recovering the functions passed to prism.
• Added negated, the isomorphism for the negate function.

4.2

• Added _Text isomorphisms to make the proper use with (#) more obvious and fit newer convention.
• Added Wrapped instances for Vector types
• Resolved issue #439. The various Prisms for string-like types in Data.Aeson.Lens are now law-abiding Prisms "up to quotient."
• Added selfIndex.
• Support attoparsec 0.12.

4.1.2

• When used with exceptions 0.4, throwingM will permit use with a mere MonadThrow.

4.1.1

• Generalized the types of mapping, bimapping, contramapping, dimapping, lmapping, rmapping to support changing the Functor, Bifunctor, Contravariant, and Profunctor respectively.
• Compatibility with free 4.6

4.1

• Added Plated instances for various free monad variants.
• Compatibility with GHC HEAD (7.9+)

4.0.7

• Removed dependency on constraints. It was used in a pre-release version of 4.0 but never made it into 4.0, but the dependency had remained around complicating builds for GHC 7.4.

4.0.6

• makeLenses attempt to make the accessors it can under existential quantification.
• Added (&~).
• Experimental support for parallel builds on GHC 7.8 with cabal install lens -fj. Due to at last one known issue with GHC, it isn't recommended to use this option when rebuilding lens, as a race condition on at least one platform has been seen in the wild.
• Added RoleAnnotations for GHC 7.8.1. These rule out a few user-accessible bottoms that could be caused by creative abuse of the new Coercible machinery. However, there was no unsafeCoerce exposed.
• Removed some impossible cases that required unwritable instances from the example doctypes.

4.0.5

• Added bimapping to Control.Lens.Iso
• Restored correct behavior of makePrism on types with a single constructor.
• makeLenses now generates Getters and Folds on universally quantified fields.

4.0.4

• Made declareFields work again.

4.0.3

• Fixed random segfaulting when using foldMapBy.

4.0.2

• Properly bundled the modules needed for the properties test suite into the tarball for hackage.

4.0.1

• Typo fixes
• Exporting Rewrapping from Control.Lens.Wrapped.
• Removed the dependency on cpphs.

4.0

• Added nearly to Control.Lens.Prism.
• Added Control.Lens.Empty, exporting _Empty.
• We now require DefaultSignatures.
• Added failing and ifailing to Control.Lens.Traversal.
• Changed the signature of Data.List.Split.Lens.condensing due to the addition of DropBlankFields to Data.List.Split.CondensePolicy in split.
• Simplified Each, Ixed, and Contains. They are no longer indexed. The previous design was actively getting in the way of user-defined instances.
• Replaced more of our home-grown types with standard ones. They had previously been defined to help make more intelligible error messages, but when we switched to using (Contravariant f, Functor f) instead of (Gettable f), these ceased to really help. Now you can define even more lens-compatible types (e.g. Getter and Fold) without depending on lens.
  • Replaced the use of Accessor with Const.
  • Replaced the use of Mutator with Identity.
  • Replaced the use of Reviewed with Tagged.
• Removed the deprecated Control.Lens.Simple module.
• Repurposed Control.Lens.Combinators to re-export Control.Lens sans any operators; previous residents rehomed to Control.Lens.Lens.
• Added Control.Lens.Operators to export just the operators. Varying your import styles between these supports many qualified usage scenarios.
• Simplified Cons and Snoc. Now they must be a Prism.
• Simplified Contains. This necessitated losing many instancs of Contains, but makes it much easier and more consistent to use and instantiate.
• Simplified the various AsFoo types in Control.Exception.Lens
• Simplified the types in System.IO.Error.Lens.
• Merged lens-aeson into lens.
• We're exiling Control.Lens.Zipper to a separate package. This will let the design for it iterate faster and let us explore the trade-offs between the 3.8 style and the 3.9 style of zippers.
• Generalized alongside, inside, both.
• Switched to a new Typeable version of reflection for the harder combinators in Control.Exception.Lens. This enables us to comply with GHC 7.7's ban on hand-written Typeable instances.
• Added a _Show Prism.
• Added Control.Lens.Extras for the combinator names we don't have the gall to claim outright, but which are consistent with the rest.
• Renamed the constructors for ReifiedLens, etc. to just be the name of their base type.
• Added many many missing instances for ReifiedFold and ReifiedGetter. This permits things like runFold ((,) <$> Fold (traverse._1) <*> Fold (traverse._2)) to be a Fold and ReifiedFold can be used as a Monad, Profunctor, etc.
• Many performance optimizations.
• Switched to exceptions from MonadCatchIO-transformers
• Added types for working with RelevantFold and RelevantTraversal. These are a Fold or Traversal that always has at least one target. Since Apply isn't a superclass of Applicative, you occasionally need to convert between them, but it lets you more readily work with less unsafety.
• Changed unwrapping and wrapping to have the same constructor-oriented order as a Prism and renamed them t _Wrapping and _Unwrapping respectively.
• Drastically changed the way _Wrapping and _Unwrapping are built to get much better inference.
• There are about 15,000 lines of patches over the last year, so I'm sure we missed a few big changes.

3.10.1 [maintenance release]

• Compatibility with base 4.7

3.10.0.1 [maintenance release]

• Compatibility with text 1.0

3.10

• Switched to bifunctors, comonad, profunctors, and semigroupoids 4.0.

3.9.2

• Generalized signatures for throwing and throwingM.

3.9.1

• 'condensingPolicy' was updated to work with 'split' 0.2.2

3.9.0.3

• Bumped dependency on generic-deriving again.

3.9.0.2

• Bumped dependency on generic-deriving to enable building on GHC HEAD.

3.9.0.1

• Updated the field guide image to link to imgur. Sadly the overview haddock and the haddocks are not generated in the same directory, so the haddock hook for copying the image only works locally.

3.9

• Changed Getting to take 3 arguments instead of 5. If you need the old behavior for portability you can use Overloaded (Accessor r) s t a b instead of Getting r s t a b and it'll work consistently back through the last few releases.
• Added involuted to Control.Lens.Iso.
• Factored out a common reversed definition from all the various forms of it around the library and placed it in Control.Lens.Iso.
• Added binary, octal, decimal and hex to Numeric.Lens.
• Added sans to Control.Lens.At.
• Improved interoperability:
  • Reimplemented Gettable as an alias for Contravariant and Functor together to derive Getter and Fold. This means you can now implement a Getter or Fold with only a Haskell 98 dependency (contravariant).
  • Removed Reviewable. We now use Bifunctor and Profunctor together to derive Review. This means you can now implement a Review with Haskell 98 dependencies (profunctors and bifunctors).
  • These changes enables more types to be defined without incurring a dependency on the lens package.

3.8.7.0-3.8.7.3 [maintenance releases]

• Fixes to dependencies and pragmas.

3.8.6 [maintenance release]

• Fixed an issue with DefaultSignatures being used outside of the appropriate #ifdef that caused compilation issues on GHC 7.0.2.
• Generalized the signature of prism'
• Added \_Void and only to Control.Lens.Prism and devoid to Control.Lens.Lens.
• Added \_Nothing to Control.Lens.Prism.
• Added devoid and united to Control.Lens.Lens.

3.8.5

• Fixed more sporadic issues in doctests, caused by carrying flags from $setup between modules.

3.8.4

• Renamed strippingPrefix to prefixed, strippingSuffix to suffixed. Left the old names as deprecated aliases.
• Fixed issues with the test suite caused by doctests carrying flags from the $setup block between modules.
• Benchmarks now use generic-deriving rather than ghc-prim directly, like the rest of the package.
• Added Generics.Deriving.Lens, which is now simply re-exported from GHC.Generics.Lens.

3.8.3

• Added strippingSuffix and stripSuffix to Data.Data.Lens
• Added unpackedBytes and unpackedChars to Data.ByteString.*.Lens
• Added unpacked to Data.Text.*.Lens
• Added (#) as an infix form of review to ease using a Prism like a smart constructor in Control.Lens.Review.

3.8.2

• Added a notion of Handleable(handler, handler_) to Control.Exception.Lens to facilitate constructing a Handler from an arbitrary Fold or Prism.
• Added a notion of Handler and catches to and Control.Monad.Error.Lens to mirror the Control.Exception and Control.Monad.CatchIO constructions.
• Added additional doctests and documentation.
• Improved error messages and support for types with arguments in makeFields.

3.8.1

• Fixed a bug in makeFields in hierarchical modules.

3.8.0.2

• Fixed an issue with running the doctests test suite when an older version of semigroups is installed.

3.8

• Overall:
  • Replaced each of the different SimpleFoo type aliases with Foo' throughout. The various Simple aliases can still be found in Control.Lens.Simple but are now deprecated.
  • Made sweeping changes to Iso and Prism and Indexed lenses internally. They are now based on profunctors. This affects how you use indexed in the resulting code and dramatically changed the meaning of Overloaded.
  • Generalized combinators to pass through indices unmodified wherever possible and added indexed variants to existing combinators. There are hundreds of these changes and they would swamp this list.
• Control.Exception.Lens
  • This module was created to add combinators and prisms that make it possible to work with GHC's extensible exceptions and monad transformer stacks more easily. There are knock-on changes in Data.Dynamic.Lens, System.Exit.Lens, and System.IO.Error.Lens.
• Control.Lens.At
  • Moved At(at) and Contains(contains) and factored out Ixed(ix).
  • Deprecated _at and resultAt.
  • Removed various ordinal and ix combinators, which are subsumed by Ixed(ix).
• Control.Lens.Cons
  • Consoldiated the various _head, _tail, _init and _last traversals that were scattered around the place into a pair of Cons and Snoc classes that provide _Cons and _Snoc prisms respectively, and combinators that build on top.
• Control.Lens.Each
  • Generalized the signature of Each to permit it to provide an IndexedSetter for ((->) e).
  • Each now uses an Index type family that is shared with At, Ixed and Contains to indicate these operations are related.
• Control.Lens.Equality
  • Added as a stronger form of Iso that can be used to safely cast.
  • Added the adverb simply, which can be used to simplify the types of most combinators in the library so they only take a simple lens, simple traversal, etc as their first argument instead. e.g. simply view forces a ~ b, s ~ t in the argument to view.
• Control.Lens.Fold
  • Added foldr1Of' and foldl1Of'.
  • Added has and hasn't.
• Control.Lens.Indexed
  • The various indexed combinators for each type were distributed to their respective modules. This module grew to encompass the remaining index-specifics.
  • Added index and indices, and removed iwhere and iwhereOf. Use itraversed.indices even and bar.indices (>3) instead.
• Control.Lens.Internal
  • This module was exploded into more manageable component modules.
• Control.Lens.Iso
  • Strict(strict) is now a Simple Iso.
  • Added magma and imagma which can be used to provide a 'debugging view' of a Traversal.
• Control.Lens.Lens
  • Restructuring split this module out from Control.Lens.Type and merged the contents Control.Lens.IndexedLens.
• Control.Lens.Level
  • This module was created to provide the breadth-first-search Traversals levels and ilevels which can be used to do (optionally depth-limited) breadth-first searches through arbitrary traversals reaching all leaves at finite depth in finite time. To use these in full accordance with the laws you should restrict yourself to commutative operations and finite containers, but they are useful even in the absence of these properties.
• Control.Lens.Loupe
  • In the interest of consistency, the Loupe alias has been deprecated in favor of ALens.
  • Loupe (and ALens) are now defined in terms of Pretext rather than Context. This permits them to be cloned at a reduced cost reducing the call for ReifiedLens.
• Control.Lens.Operators
  • Added this module for users who insist on qualified use, but want access to the operators. They can import qualified Control.Lens as Lens and import Control.Lens.Operators unqualified.
• Control.Lens.Prism
  • Added prism' to construct SimplePrisms.
• Control.Lens.Reified
  • Consolidated the various ReifiedFoo definitions into one module.
• Control.Lens.Representable
  • This module was removed. Its functionality may be split out into a separate package, but currently the linear package exports is own Linear.Core module to provide this functionality. It was taking lots of useful names for little functionality and didn't feel like the rest of the API.
• Control.Lens.Review
  • This module now factors the review functionality out of Prism and exposes unto, which is to review what to is to view.
• Control.Lens.Setter
  • Added contramapped and argument for mapping over inputs.
• Control.Lens.Simple
  • Removed the infix lens aliases and repurposed the module to house the now deprecated SimpleFoo type aliases, which were replaced universally with Foo'.
• Control.Lens.TH
  • makeLenses now generates Lens' and Traversal' where appropriate
  • Added makePrisms as a generalized makeIso that automatically generates a Prism for each constructor. makePrisms generates names with an _Foo convention. This was consolidated upon throughout the library to reduce namespace conflicts between prisms and lenses.
  • Added makeFields, which generates classes for each individual field in a data type.
  • Added makeWrapped, which automatically generates a Wrapped instance for a newtype.
• Control.Lens.Type
  • This module was repurposed to provide a single home for all the standard lens-like type aliases used when producing lenses. You still need to go to their respective modules to find the types for consuming lens-likes if you want to generate your own lens combinators
• Control.Lens.Wrapped
  • Added wrapped' and unwrapped' for scenarios where you need the help with type inference.
• Control.Lens.Zipper
  • Converted Zipper to walk a magma based on the original structure and to use indices from indexed traversals when restoring from tape. This also means that when zipping around within a balanced structure with ascending keys moveTo can operate in logarithmic time, but required changing the Zipper type to add the index type.
• Data.Bits.Lens
  • Added byteAt.
• Data.ByteString.Lens
  • Data.ByteString.Lazy.Lens now uses Int64-based indexing.
  • The Traversal for strict ByteStrings now construct a balanced tree up to a given grain size. This permits zipper based seeking to operate in logarithmic time and speeds up many traversals.
• Numeric.Lens
  • Created. base shows and reads integers at base-2 through base-36. integral can be used as a safe fromInteger/toInteger.

3.7.6 [maintenance release]

• Fixed an issue with the Complex Each instance.

3.7.5 [maintenance release]

• Fixed an errant LANGUAGE pragma

3.7.4 [maintenance release]

• Backported the API for ALens and ALens' to support snap builds on old platforms.

3.7.3 [maintenance release]

• Removed my intra-package dependency upper bounds for my own packages. In particular this enables us to work with semigroups 0.9.
• Switched to transformers-compat to avoid having unbuilding modules at the top of the documentation, and to ease 3rd party compatibility.
• Updated Setup.lhs to be compatible with Cabal 1.17

3.7.2 [maintenance release]

• Bug fix for Magnify. It was missing functional dependencies to determine its k parameter from m or n.

3.7.1.2 [maintenance release]

• Made the doctest test suite hide all but the exact versions of packages used to build this package to avoid problems with complicated user environments.
• Removed doctests based on :t as they are fragile and break across GHC versions.
• Fixed GHC 7.0.4 compatibility by guarding DefaultSignatures in Control.Lens.Each.

3.7.1.1 [maintenance release]

• Removed tests that will (likely) fail in the presence of hashable 1.2

3.7.1

• Added preuse, preuses to Control.Lens.Fold
• Added Each(each) to Control.Lens.Each for indexed traversal of potentially monomorphic containers.
• Added indexing64 and traversed64 for help with large containers.
• Generalized the type signature of choosing.
• Exported unwrapped from Control.Lens.Wrapped.
• Support for hashable 1.2
• Added (??) to Control.Lens.Combinators.

3.7.0.2

• Fixed flagging for Safe Haskell.
• Fixed examples.
• Cleaned up the statement of the Prism laws.

3.7.0.1

• Corrected bounds for hashable.
• Fixed compatibility with Haskell Platform 2011.4.0.0 -- you may have to install with --constraint="transformers = 0.2.2.0" to avoid getting new mtl and transformer versions installed.

3.7

• Renamed Projection to Prism.
• Implemented a complete redesign of the way Iso and Prism are handled internally. Any Iso can now be used as a Prism.
• The isos combinator is no longer required. iso can now be used to construct an Iso.
• Changes to the signature of from and under were necessitated by the new design.
• Added Control.Lens.Wrapped providing a canonical isomorphism for newtypes.
• Repurposed ala to be closer to the original design in newtype, but added au and alaf.
• Added _magnitude, _phase and _conjugate to Data.Complex.Lens. Renamed other lenses for consistency: _realPart, _imagPart, _polar.
• Promoted _left and _right to prisms and moved them to Control.Lens.Prism.
• Generalized view and views to subsume the old functionality of peruse and peruses.
• Generalized review and reviews to both return a MonadReader and to work on a Projection.
• Added view'/views' and use'/uses' for Simple access to the environment/state.
• Added set', a Simple version of set.
• Added reuse : use :: review : view and reuses : uses :: reviews : views for working a Projection from the current MonadState.
• Removed many isomorphisms for various newtypes. _const, identity, _sum, etc. Use wrapping Const, wrapping Identity, etc.
• Removed Data.Monoid.Lens now that its newtypes are instances of Wrapped, exporting the (<>=)-variants from Control.Lens.*.
• Renamed via to cloneIso for consistency.
• Moved Indexed(..) to Control.Lens.Classes.
• Renamed index to indexed to reduce conflicts with third-party libraries.
• Added curried and uncurried to Control.Lens.Iso.
• Added Strict(strict) for ad hoc overloading of conversions between strict and lazy variants of ByteString and Text.
• Bug fixes for tugTo and jerkTo.
• These no longer traverse in the wrong direction: scanl1Of, scanr1Of, mapAccumLOf, and mapAccumROf.
• Added anon to Control.Lens.Iso.
• Generalized the types of the Control.Lens.Zipper combinators to work with other MonadPlus instances.
• Added withins to Control.Lens.Zipper now that they can work better with [].
• Added singular and unsafeSingular to Control.Lens.Traversal to assert a Traversal is a Lens, a Fold is a Getter or a MonadicFold is an Action.
• Generalized sequenceAOf_'s type to match sequenceA_.
• Renamed up/down/left/right to upward/downward/leftward/rightward to reduce conflicts -- in particular with Control.Arrow.
• Readded leftmost and rightmost due to the verbosity of farthest leftward/farthest rightward.
• Added preview/previews/firstOf and deprecated headOf.
• Added iview/iviews/iuse/iuses to Control.Lens.IndexedGetter.
• We've generalized the type of Bazaar and provided generalized variants of partsOf, etc. that used it.

3.6.0.4 [maintenance release]

• Added support for test-framework 0.8

3.6.0.3 [maintenance release]

• Added support for test-framework 0.7

3.6.0.2 [maintenance release]

• Added more explicit dependencies to the doctest suite.
• Disabled the 'expected failure' quickcheck tests that occasionally would fail with internal QuickCheck errors.

3.6.0.1 [maintenance release]

• Added explicit dependency on containers and unordered-containers to the doctest suite

3.6

• Added upon (along with variants of it) to Data.Data.Lens, which can be used to generate a Traversal from a field accessor or any function that returns, unmodified, a single field that would be visited by template.
• Added some missing examples/ files to the distribution.
• Renamed Data.Bits.Lens.traverseBits to bits.
• Removed (^!?), which was an alias for (^?!).
• Removed the need for Trustworthy by changing the implementation of coerce for BazaarT.
• Moved BazaarT to Control.Lens.Internal.
• Added (<&>) to Control.Lens.Combinators.
• element and elementOf are now indexed traversals rather than lenses and have moved to Control.Lens.IndexedTraversal. This both fixes their former partiality and lets you use chain indexed combinators with them.
• Added elements and elementsOf as indexed traversals for ordinal indexing into regular traversals that generalize element and elementOf.
• Renamed Data.Complex.Lens.traverseComplex to complex.
• Changed Data.Complex.Lens.polarize to a Simple Iso, due to the RealFloat constraint causing inference problems.
• Renamed traverseLeft and traverseRight to _left and _right respectively.
• Renamed traverseSlice, traverseFrom, and traverseTo in Data.Sequence.Lens to sliced, slicedFrom, and slicedTo respectively.
• Renamed traverseAt to _at in Control.Lens.IndexedTraversal.
• Renamed traverseArray to _array in Data.Array.Lens.
• Renamed and made the combinators in Control.Lens.Zipper more compositional to reduce third-party naming conflicts down to just left and right.
• Renamed &= and |= to .&.= and .|.= for consistency, mutatis mutandis their related operations.
• Added a Plated instances for Language.Haskell.TH types.
• Renamed atIndex and atIndices in Data.Vector.Lens and Data.Vector.Generic.Lens to ordinal and ordinals to match Data.Sequence.Lens

3.5.1

• Improved SafeHaskell inference.

3.5

• Fixed a potential SafeHaskell issue where a user could use undefined to derive unsafeCoerce. You now have to import an explicitly Unsafe module and create an instance of Trustworthy for your type to cause this behavior, so if you do, it's on your head, not mine. :)
• Renamed EvilBazaar to BazaarT.
• Moved a lot of internals around. Most notably, Gettable, Settable and Effective have moved to Control.Lens.Classes.
• Exposed partsOf' and unsafePartsOf' in Control.Lens.Traversal to reduce reliance on BazaarT in Control.Lens.Zipper

3.4

• Renamed (%) to (&) and (^%) to (^&). This avoids the conflict with Data.Ratio, which was our highest priority conflict with a third party library.
• Switched to a more liberal type for ignored
• Removed some "isplitting" bad combinators from Control.Lens.IndexedFold.
• Made indexed, taking, and dropping and elementOf lazier and capable of dealing with infinite traversals and infinite folds.
• Improved Indexing to support infinite traversals and folds.
• Removed some of the more redundant combinators from Control.Lens.Plated, which already had existing aliases in the rest of the traversal API.
• Moved partsOf, holesOf, and elementOf into Control.Lens.Traversal.
• Renamed query to peruse and queries to peruses. These are much less contentious names, both contain use in their name for analogy to use and uses and the word is about reading.
• Simpler simple.
• Added enum and non to Control.Lens.Iso.
• Added (^?!) to Control.Lens.Fold for unsafe access to the head of a Fold.
• Changed _head, _tail, _init and _last to traversals in Data.List.Lens and Data.Sequence.Lens.
• Eliminated traverseHead, traverseTail, traverseInit and traverseLast.
• partsOf and unsafePartsOf can now also be applied to a Fold yielding a Getter or to a MonadicFold yielding an Action.

3.3

• Redefined simple and moved it to Control.Lens.Iso. Instead of using simple l you can now compose l.simple or simple.l providing more nuanced control and a more compositional API.
• Moved the various foo# combinators used to emit cleaner core into an unexported module, Control.Lens.Unsafe. This removes MagicHash from the public API.
• Removed the bazaar# and runBazaar# coercions that caused issues on GHC HEAD.
• Changed the default definition of plate to uniplate from ignored.
• Added Data.Vector.Lens and instances for Data.Vector.
• Added support for the split package, which is now part of the Haskell platform.
• Removed redundant Data.List.traverseList. Use itraversed or traverse instead.
• Moved (:<->) to Control.Lens.Simple.
• Fixed a bug in Control.Lens.TH that was causing makeIso not to work.
• Added lifted to Control.Lens.Setter for mapping over monads.
• Added beside to Control.Lens.Traversal.
• Removed the operators from Data.List.Lens, they broke the overall pattern of the rest of the API, and were terrible clutter.
• Fixed a bug that caused resultAt to give wrong answers most of the time.
• Changed resultAt to an IndexedLens and moved it to Control.Lens.IndexedLens
• Changed ignored to an IndexedTraversal and moved it to Control.Lens.IndexedTraversal
• We've relinquished the name value.

3.2

• Made elementOf lazier and moved it from Control.Lens.Traversal to Control.Lens.Plated.
• Made holesOf and partsOf lazier to deal with infinite structures.
• Resolved issue #75. We now generate nicer core for most Setter and Fold operations, and some others.
• Made lenses for field access like _1, _2, etc. lazier.
• Added Control.Lens.Loupe, which provides a limited form of Lens that can be read from and written to and which can compose with other lenses, but can also be returned in a list or as a monadic result, but cannot be used directly for most combinators without cloning it first. It is easier to compose than a ReifiedLens, but slightly slower.
• Moved (:=>) and (:->) into Control.Lens.Simple, which is not exported by Control.Lens by default to reduce name conflicts with third party libraries.

3.1

• Simplified the type of filtered, so that it can be composed with other folds rather than be parameterized on one. Included the caveat that the new filtered is still not a legal Traversal, despite seeming to compose like one.
• Renamed ifiltered to ifiltering, and while it still must take an indexed lens-like as an argument, I included a similar caveat about the result not being a legal IndexedLens when given an IndexedLens. The function was renamed because its signature no longer lined up with the new filtered and the gerundive '-ing' suffix has come to indicate an operator that transformers another lens/traversal/etc. into a new one.
• Added taking and dropping to Control.Lens.Traversal.

3.0.6

• Alpha-renamed all combinators to a new scheme. Instead of Foo a b c d, they now follow Foo s t a b. This means that you don't need to alpha rename everything in your head to work through the examples, simplifies exposition, and uses s and t for common state monad parameters. Thanks go to Shachaf Ben-Kiki for the grunt work of slogging through hundreds of definitions by hand and with regular expressions!
• Restored lenses to Trustworthy status so they can be used with Safe Haskell once more.

3.0.5

• Fixed a bug in rights1 and lefts1 in Control.Lens.Zipper which would cause them to loop forever when given a 0 offset.

3.0.4

• Added ?~, <?~, ?= and <?= to Control.Lens.Setter for setting the target(s) of a Lens to Just a value. They are particularly useful when combined with at.

3.0.3

• Refined the behavior of substType in Control.Lens.TH to match the behavior of typeVarsEx when moving under binders.

3.0.2

• Added generateSignatures option to Control.Lens.TH to allow the end user to disable the generation of type signatures for the template-haskell generated lenses. This lets the user supply hand-written haddocks and more restricted signatures.

3.0.1

• Added Control.Lens.Type.simple.

3.0

• Added Control.Lens.Zipper.
• Added <<~, a version of <~ that supports chaining assignment.
• Added :->, :=>, and :<-> as type operator aliases for Simple Lens, Simple Traversal, and Simple Iso respectively.

2.9

• Added <<%~, <<.~, <<%= and <<.= for accessing the old values targeted by a Lens (or a summary of those targeted by a Traversal)
• Renamed |> to %, as %~ is the lensed version of %, and moved it to Control.Lens.Getter along with a version ^% with tighter precedence that can be interleaved with ^.
• Upgraded to doctest 0.9, which lets us factor out common $setup for our doctests
• Renamed merged to choosing. Added a simpler chosen operation to mirror both.
• Added Control.Lens.Projection
• Renamed traverseException to exception and traverseDynamic to dynamic, upgrading them to use Projection.
• makeClassy now places each generated Lens or Traversal inside the class it constructs when possible. This makes it possible for users to just export HasFoo(..), rather than have to enumerate each lens in the export list. It can only do that if it creates the class. If the createClass flag is disabled, then it will default to the old behavior.
• Added performs to Control.Lens.Action to mirror views in Control.Lens.Getter.

2.8

• Restored compatibility with GHC 7.2. This required a major version bump due to making some MPTC-based default signatures conditional.

2.7.0.1

• Added the missing Control.Lens.Combinators to exported-modules! Its absence was causing it not to be included on hackage.

2.7

• Generalized the signature of Getting, Acting and IndexedGetting to help out with the common user code scenario of needing to read and then write to change types.
• Documentation cleanup and additional examples.
• Renamed au to ala, introducing further incompatibility with the newtype package, but reducing confusion.
• Removed need for Data.Map.Lens and Data.IntMap.Lens by adding TraverseMin and TraverseMax to Control.Lens.IndexedTraversal.
• Flipped fixity of ~: and <~:
• Added ++~, ++=, <++~ and <++= to Data.List.Lens in response to popular demand.
• Added |>, <$!> and <$! to Control.Lens.Combinators, which exports combinators that are often useful in lens-based code, but that don't strictly involve lenses.
• Added an HUnit-based test suite by @orenbenkiki

2.6.1

• Fixed bugs in Traversal code-generation.

2.6

• Added build option -f-inlining to facilitate building with the various TH 2.8 versions used by GHC 7.6 and HEAD.
• Added build option -f-template-haskell for testing without template haskell. (Users should be able to assume TH is enabled; use this only for testing!)
• Added support for generating a Traversal rather than a Lens when multiple fields map to the same name or some constructors are missing a field.
• Removed _ from the lens names in System.FilePath.Lens.
• Added iwhere, withIndices, withIndicesOf, indices and indicesOf to ease work with indexed traversals
• Added assign as an alias for (.=) in Control.Lens.Setter.
• Added ~:, =:, <~: and <=: to Data.List.Lens

2.5

• Added Control.Lens.Plated, a port of Neil Mitchell's uniplate that can be used on any Traversal.
• Added Data.Data.Lens with smart traversals that know how to avoid traversing parts of a structure that can't contain a given type.
• Added Data.Typeable.Lens with _cast and _gcast like traverseData
• Renamed IndexedStore to Context now that it is used in user-visible locations, and since I also use it as uniplate's notion of a context.
• Renamed Kleene to Bazaar -- "a bazaar contains a bunch of stores."
• Added Comonad instances for Context and Bazaar, so we can use stores directly as the notion of an editable context in uniplate
• Compatibility with both sets of template haskell quirks for GHC 7.6.1-rc1 and the GHC 7.6.1 development head.
• Renamed children to branches in Data.Tree.Lens.
• Added At and Contains to Control.Lens.IndexedLens.
• Added FunctorWithIndex, FoldableWithIndex, and TraversableWithIndex under Control.Lens.WithIndex
• Added support for unordered-containers.

2.4.0.2

• GHC 7.6.1 development HEAD compatibility (but broke 7.6.1-rc1)

2.4.0.1

• Haddock cleanup

2.4

• Added the indexed Kleene store to Control.Lens.Internal
• Moved Gettable, Accessor, Settable and Mutator to Control.Lens.Internal
• Added cloneTraversal to Control.Lens.Traversal
• Renamed clone to cloneLens in Control.Lens.Type
• Generalized the type of zoom to subsume focus.
• Removed Focus(..) from Control.Lens.Type.
• Factored out Control.Lens.Isomorphic.
• Moved many private types to Control.Lens.Internal
• Added conFields to Language.Haskell.TH.Lens.
• Added System.FilePath.Lens.

2.3

• Added missing {-# INLINE #-} pragmas
• Renamed meanwhile to throughout in Control.Parallel.Strategies.Lens
• Added Magnify to Control.Lens.Getter.
• Added Zoom to Control.Lens.Type.

2.2

• Added <&=, <&~, <|=, and <|~
• Moved <>~, <<>~, <>=, and <<>= to Data.Monoid.Lens
• Template Haskell now uses eager binding to avoid adding dependencies.

2.1

• Renamed adjust to over
• Added au, auf and under
• Added Data.Monoid.Lens
• Increased lower dependency bound on mtl for cleaner installation.
