HsQML 0.2.0.2 released

I've been meaning start blogging again for ages, and this seemed to be as good a time as any. I've just released HsQML 0.2.0.2 and uploaded it to Hackage. This minor point release fixes two issues:

Firstly, API changes in Cabal 1.18 broke HsQML's rather involved Setup.hs. I didn't want mandate that users have the latest Cabal library, so I investigated a couple of different options for supporting both the old and new. There are no really pretty solutions here and I ended up using Template Haskell to select between two different sets of utility functions.

Secondly, the text package has recently gone through two major version changes under the PVP. I've widened the Cabal version constraint to permit both text-1.0 and text-1.1.

Hope you enjoy!

release-0.2.0.2 - 2014.01.18

  * Added support for Cabal 1.18 API.
  * Relaxed Cabal dependency constraint on 'text'.
