Release 0.6.0

A lot of functionality has been added to the library. Unfortunately some changes are breaking. It is quite easy to adapt to the changes, because only the syntactic interface (different module names, function names, ...) has been changed but not the semantic interface.

• Fmlib_browser:

  • More generic http requests.
  • Fix: focussing and blurring of elements
  • Added simple tasks to the module 'Command': It is now possible to execute simple tasks directly as a command without the need to make a task.
  • Reference nodes: It is possible to add reference elements into the dom. The reference nodes can be modified via commands. Reference nodes can be used to optimize html pages with many many elements (e.g. spreadsheets). The performance gain is in the range of jane street's incremental.
  • Local files can be selected a used within a web application.
  • Local and session storage implemented.
  • Added module 'Url' to parse and generate urls.
  • Added support for single page applications with access to the browser history.
  • Modules 'Html' and 'Attribute' have now a complete set of nodes and attributes.

• Fmlib_pretty:

  • Redesign based on Philip Wadler's design of a pretty printer. With the redesign some bugs have been fixed. The module 'Print' (old design) is marked as obsolete and will be removed in the next releases. The redesigned module is called 'Pretty' and has nearly the same interface as the old module.

• Fmlib_parse:

  • Added lexeme parsers.
  • Fix: Backtracking did not work correctly in some corner cases.

Release 0.5.9

Bugfix release to fix a bug in unicode parsers by parsing empty input streams.

Release 0.5.8

• Fmlib_browser:

  Added parallel execution of tasks.

• Fmlib_parse:

  Added unicode parsing

  Added byte_position and byte_offset to module Position

  Added and streamlined support for partial parsing. In particular the parsers with lexers support fully partial parsers. Glueing of partial parsers now works with fold_lookahead or transfer_lookahead.

Release 0.5.7

• Fmlib_parse::

  Fix: Bug in Source_extractor, introduced in the previous release.

  Added Parse_with_lexer.range to return the range of the token which caused a syntax error.

Release 0.5.6

• Fmlib_parse:

  • module Position distinguishes byte and character position. The absolute byte offset from the beginning of the file is included.

Release 0.5.5

• Fmlib_parse:

  • Fix: In a parser with a separate lexer a syntax error in the lexer immedately before the end of input had not been reported correctly.
  • More documentation on parsers with lexers.
  • More functionality in the module Character to support writing of lexers. E.g. make_partial, restart_partial, lexer.
  • Removed duplicate module Error_reporter.

• Fmlib_browser:

  • Added subscription on_animation.
  • Added Html.map and Attribute.map.
  • Text in textnodes is now overwritten instead of creating a new node.

• Fmlib_std:

  • Improved Array and Btree to exploit physical identity. An update operation where the new element is the same as the original element can be ignored.

Release 0.5.4

• Fmlib_browser:

  • Added debug functions
  • Fix: Set value property and not value attribute. Reason: The browser updates only the property and not the attribute.
  • Added sandbox_plus (a sandbox with subscriptions) and basic_application(an application without javascript communication).
  • Added namespace elements and svg elements.
  • Added Subscription.on_keyup.
  • Added Command.map.
  • Added Command.just_do which does not send a message back to the application.
  • Added examples from the 7 Guis.

Release 0.5.3

• First release of Fmlib_browser

Release 0.5.2

• Stream module is deprecated in ocaml stdlib. Therefore all usages of the Stream module are removed from Fmlib.

• Fmlib_parse:

  • Some fixes in error reporting
  • Fix: Error in <?> operator with layout parsing
