Revision history for eta

0.0.6b8 -- 2017-05-30

Java.Do module is now available that lets you use do-notation for Java objects that satisfy a monad-like structure.
The getClass# primop has been removed due to being ill-defined (performs type inspection). (#403)

eta --numeric-version now returns the build number as well.
- For Eta v1.2.6b6, eta --numeric-version will return 1.2.6.6
The compiler now passes two CPP constants - ETA_VERSION and ETA_BUILD_NUMBER
- For Eta v1.2.6b6, ETA_VERSION=126 and ETA_BUILD_NUMBER=6
The global package database has moved from ~/.eta/package.conf.d/* to ~/.eta/[numeric-version]/package.conf.d/*.
- This was done to facilitate multiple Eta installations simultaneously.
cleaninstall.sh/Build.hs have some minor changes:
- You can pass - to specify that you want the default installation directory.
- All additional arguments are passed to Build.hs.
- A new flag --binaries is now supported that allows you to select the folder in which to store binary distributions of the boot libraries.

Fixed #313 so that you can now download the package index from Hackage directly.
etlas bdist will create a binary distribution of the package for which you want to compile.
- If the package is base-4.8.2.0, then the binary package is base-4.8.2.0-bin.tar.gz and it will be placed in the dist folder.
etlas install --binaries-output-dir=[output-dir] will create binary distributions for the current package and all its dependencies and place them in [output-dir].
etlas install [package]-bin.tar.gz will install a binary distribution.
