Detailed change list

This page mostly focuses on detailed views of breaking changes, not necessarily covering new features. For a higher-level view, see Changelog.

Not yet released Yesod 1.2

• Removed a number of deprecated functions from Yesod.Widget. These can be replaced with toWidget, toWidgetHead, toWidgetBody, and toWidgetMedia. toWidgetMedia was added in 1.2 and replaces addLuciusMedia and addCassiusMedia as a means of adding CSS that only applies to specific media types.
• yesod-json has been deprecated. Its functionality has been folded into yesod-core itself.
• Felipe's newer, more efficient session code is the default. More information: https://github.com/yesodweb/yesod/issues/415#commit-ref-2009165

2013-02-18

• The Yesod ecosystem now supports conduit 1.0. This release of conduit is largely backwards compatible, and therefore most code will work with both conduit 0.5 and 1.0 (as is the case for Yesod itself). Little user modification should be necessary. For more information, see the blog post.
• wai 1.4 has been released, which adds a new field requestBodyLength to the Request datatype.
• monad-logger 0.3 is out, which no longer provides instances for IO. As a result, in a few places you may need to explicitly use a transformer to deal with logging. This will most commonly occur in the scaffolding with the runMigration call. The simplest thing to do is import Control.Monad.Logger and add runNoLoggingT to the beginning. For a more sophisticated approach, see the changes to the scaffolding.

2012-12-27

• yesod-core 1.1.7 has introduced a new means of creating session backends (clientSessionBackend2) and deprecated the old one. Going forward, the old method will be removed, which will allow us some significant performance optimizations. See: https://github.com/yesodweb/yesod/pull/418
• hamlet 1.1.3.1 now gives you an error message when a class name contains a hash, to avoid the problem of IDs accidentally being slurped up by class names. See: https://github.com/yesodweb/shakespeare/issues/75
