[The latest version of this document is on GitHub.](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/blob/master/servant-client-core/CHANGELOG.md) [Changelog for `servant` package contains significant entries for all core packages.](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/blob/master/servant/CHANGELOG.md) 0.17 ---- ### Significant changes - Add NoContentVerb [#1028](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/1028) [#1219](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1219) [#1228](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1228) The `NoContent` API endpoints should now use `NoContentVerb` combinator. The API type changes are usually of the kind ```diff - :<|> PostNoContent '[JSON] NoContent + :<|> PostNoContent ``` i.e. one doesn't need to specify the content-type anymore. There is no content. - `Capture` can be `Lenient` [#1155](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/1155) [#1156](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1156) You can specify a lenient capture as ```haskell :<|> "capture-lenient" :> Capture' '[Lenient] "foo" Int :> GET ``` which will make the capture always succeed. Handlers will be of the type `Either String CapturedType`, where `Left err` represents the possible parse failure. ### Other changes - *servant-client* *servant-client-core* *servant-http-streams* Fix Verb with headers checking content type differently [#1200](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/1200) [#1204](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1204) For `Verb`s with response `Headers`, the implementation didn't check for the content-type of the response. Now it does. - *servant-client* *servant-http-streams* `HasClient` instance for `Stream` with `Headers` [#1170](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/issues/1170) [#1197](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1197) - *servant-client* Redact the authorization header in Show and exceptions [#1238](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1238) 0.16 ---- - Rename `ServantError` to `ClientError`, `ServantErr` to `ServerError` [#1131](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1131) - *servant-client-core* Rearrange modules. No more `Internal` modules, whole API is versioned. [#1130](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1130) - *servant-client-core* `RequestBody` is now ```haskell = RequestBodyLBS LBS.ByteString | RequestBodyBS BS.ByteString | RequestBodySource (SourceIO LBS.ByteString) ``` i.e. no more replicates `http-client`s API.

'requestPath' includes the 'BaseUrl' and the +-- path of the request. +FailureResponse (RequestF () (BaseUrl, BS.ByteString)) Response ``` - *servant-client* Fix (implement) `StreamBody` instance [#1110](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1110) - *servant-client* Update CookieJar with intermediate request/responses (redirects) [#1104](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1104) 0.15 ---- - Streaming refactoring. [#991](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/991) [#1076](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1076) [#1077](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1077) The streaming functionality (`Servant.API.Stream`) is refactored to use `servant`'s own `SourceIO` type (see `Servant.Types.SourceT` documentation), which replaces both `StreamGenerator` and `ResultStream` types. New conversion type-classes are `ToSourceIO` and `FromSourceIO` (replacing `ToStreamGenerator` and `BuildFromStream`). There are instances for *conduit*, *pipes* and *machines* in new packages: [servant-conduit](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/servant-conduit) [servant-pipes](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/servant-pipes) and [servant-machines](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/servant-machines) respectively. Writing new framing strategies is simpler. Check existing strategies for examples. This change shouldn't affect you, if you don't use streaming endpoints. - *servant-client* Separate streaming client. [#1066](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1066) We now have two `http-client` based clients, in `Servant.Client` and `Servant.Client.Streaming`. Their API is the same, except for - `Servant.Client` **cannot** request `Stream` endpoints. - `Servant.Client` is *run* by direct `runClientM :: ClientM a -> ClientEnv -> IO (Either ServantError a)` - `Servant.Client.Streaming` **can** request `Stream` endpoints. - `Servant.Client.Streaming` is *used* by CPSised `withClientM :: ClientM a -> ClientEnv -> (Either ServantError a -> IO b) -> IO b` To access `Stream` endpoints use `Servant.Client.Streaming` with `withClientM`; otherwise you can continue using `Servant.Client` with `runClientM`. You can use both too, `ClientEnv` and `BaseUrl` types are same for both. **Note:** `Servant.Client.Streaming` doesn't *stream* non-`Stream` endpoints. Requesting ordinary `Verb` endpoints (e.g. `Get`) will block until the whole response is received. There is `Servant.Client.Streaming.runClientM` function, but it has restricted type. `NFData a` constraint prevents using it with `SourceT`, `Conduit` etc. response types. ```haskell runClientM :: NFData a => ClientM a -> ClientEnv -> IO (Either ServantError a) ``` This change shouldn't affect you, if you don't use streaming endpoints. - *servant-client-core* Related to the previous: `streamingResponse` is removed from `RunClient`. We have a new type-class: ```haskell class RunClient m => RunStreamingClient m where withStreamingRequest :: Request -> (StreamingResponse -> IO a) -> m a ``` - Drop support for GHC older than 8.0 [#1008](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1008) [#1009](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1009) - *servant-client-core* Add `NFData (GenResponse a)` and `NFData ServantError` instances. [#1076](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1076) - *servant-client-core* Add `aeson` and `Lift BaseUrl` instances [#1037](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/1037) 0.14.1 ------ - Merge in `servant-generic` (by [Patrick Chilton](https://github.com/chpatrick)) into `servant` (`Servant.API.Generic`), `servant-client-code` (`Servant.Client.Generic`) and `servant-server` (`Servant.Server.Generic`). 0.14 ---- - `Stream` takes a status code argument ```diff -Stream method framing ctype a +Stream method status framing ctype a ``` ([#966](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/966) [#972](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/972)) - `ToStreamGenerator` definition changed, so it's possible to write an instance for conduits. ```diff -class ToStreamGenerator f a where - toStreamGenerator :: f a -> StreamGenerator a +class ToStreamGenerator a b | a -> b where + toStreamGenerator :: a -> StreamGenerator b ``` ([#959](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/959)) - Added `NoFraming` streaming strategy ([#959](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/959)) - *servant-client-core* Free `Client` implementation. Useful for testing `HasClient` instances. ([#920](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/920)) - *servant-client-core* Add `hoistClient` to `HasClient`. Just like `hoistServer` allows us to change the monad in which request handlers of a web application live, we also have `hoistClient` for changing the monad in which *client functions* live. Read [tutorial section for more information](https://docs.servant.dev/en/release-0.14/tutorial/Client.html#changing-the-monad-the-client-functions-live-in). ([#936](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/936)) iF you have own combinators, you'll need to define a new method of `HasClient` class, for example: ```haskell type Client m (MyCombinator :> api) = MyValue :> Client m api hoistClientMonad pm _ nt cl = hoistClientMonad pm (Proxy :: Proxy api) nt . cl ``` 0.13.0.1 -------- - Support `base-compat-0.10` 0.13 ---- - Streaming endpoint support. ([#836](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/836)) - *servant* Add `Servant.API.Modifiers` ([#873](https://github.com/haskell-servant/servant/pull/873)) 0.12 ---- - First version. Factored out of `servant-client` all the functionality that was independent of the `http-client` backend.
