  • (issue #90) The Test.DejaFu.SCT.resultsSet and resultsSet' functions discard traces as they are produced, rather than all at the end.

0.7.0.2 (2017-06-12)

Changed

  • Remove unnecessary typeclass constraints from Test.DejaFu.Refinement.check, check', checkFor, and counterExamples.

Miscellaneous

0.7.0.1 (2017-06-09)

Performance

  • The Test.DejaFu.Refinement.check, check', and checkFor functions no longer need to compute all counterexamples before showing only one.

0.7.0.0 - The Refinement Release (2017-06-07)

Added

  • The Test.DejaFu.Refinement module, re-exported from Test.DejaFu.

  • The Test.DejaFu.SCT.sctUniformRandom function for SCT via random scheduling.

  • Smart constructors for Test.DejaFu.SCT.Way (also re-exported from Test.DejaFu):

    • Test.DejaFu.SCT.systematically, like the old Systematically.
    • Test.DejaFu.SCT.randomly, like the old Randomly.
    • Test.DejaFu.SCT.uniformly, a new uniform (as opposed to weighted) random scheduler.
    • Test.DejaFu.SCT.swarmy, like the old Randomly but which can use the same weights for multiple executions.

Changed

  • The default* values are defined in Test.DejaFu.Defaults and re-exported from Test.DejaFu.
  • The Test.DejaFu.SCT.sctRandom function is now called sctWeightedRandom and can re-use the same weights for multiple executions.

Removed

  • The Test.DejaFu.SCT.Way type is now abstract, so its constructors are no longer exported:

    • Test.DejaFu.SCT.Systematically
    • Test.DejaFu.SCT.Randomly

Note: this version was misnumbered! It should have caused a minor

: version bump!

Added

Note: this version was misnumbered! It should have caused a major

: version bump!

Added

  • StopSubconcurrency constructor for Test.DejaFu.Common.ThreadAction.

Changed

  • A Test.DejaFu.Common.StopConcurrency action appears in the execution trace immediately after the end of a Test.DejaFu.Conc.subconcurrency action.

Fixed

  • A Test.DejaFu.Conc.subconcurrency action inherits the number of capabilities from the outer computation.

Miscellaneous

  • Test.DejaFu.SCT compiles with MonoLocalBinds enabled (implied by GADTs and TypeFamilies), which may be relevant to hackers.

Fixed

  • Some previously-missed CRef action dependencies are no longer missed.

Miscellaneous

  • The version bounds on concurrency are 1.1.0.*.
  • A bunch of things were called "Var" or "Ref", these are now consistently "MVar" and "CRef".
