  • v2.3.0 Changes

    November 26, 2020

    ๐Ÿš€ Welcome to the first stable release of Cats on Scala 3โ€ฆ milestone 2! We will continue releasing minor versions within the 2.3.x lineage against Scala 3.0.0 until it reaches a final stable release. The decision to push a stable release of Cats in advance of this date was made in order to simplify versioning within the downstream ecosystem.

    ๐Ÿ”„ Changes From 2.2.0

    • #3673 โ€“ tweak Band impl so it can more easily be combined with Monoid in a single instance (@Dwolla)
    • #3609 โ€“ A new dedicated cats ecosystem page (@benkio)
    • #3630 โ€“ FunctionK: methods to narrow input / widen output types (@bplommer)
    • #3620, #3624 โ€“ Typeclass instances for immutable.Seq (@JosephMoniz)
    • #3603 โ€“ Add method distinct to TraverseFilter (@takayahilton)
  • v2.3.0-M2 Changes

    November 07, 2020

    ๐Ÿš€ The Dotty release train is running full steam ahead: this Cats milestone release is cross-built and released for Scala 2.12.x, 2.13.x, Dotty 0.27 and 3.0.0-M1.

    ๐Ÿš€ There are only minor changes since last since 2.3.0-M1:

  • v2.3.0-M1 Changes

    November 02, 2020

    ๐Ÿš€ We are proud to announce the first Dotty release of Cats! All modules of Cats are cross-built and released for Scala 2.12.x, 2.13.x, and Dotty 0.27. Other than that, this release contains relatively few new features.

    Dotty

    ๐Ÿš€ The purpose of this milestone is that adventurous users can try out first-class Dotty support before we cut a final 2.3.0 release. Note that for the Dotty builds, binary compatibility between this milestone release and 2.3.0 may break in some situations. Also, if you are using the laws, sbt may complain about conflicting Scala version suffixes. This will be fixed in time for the final release.

    Binary compatibility (Scala 2)

    ๐Ÿš€ As usual, the 2.3.x series is backward binary-compatible with all previous 2.x releases (and with 1.x for the non-laws modules).

    Other improvements

  • v2.2.0 Changes

    September 03, 2020

    ๐Ÿš€ The most significant change in the 2.2.0 release is that all Cats type class instances for standard library types are now available in implicit scope, and no longer have to be imported. This has a number of benefits, including faster compile times and fewer things to think about. Please see this pull request, this blog post, the 2.2.0-M1 release notes, and the migration guide below for more detailed information about this change.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release is verified to be backward binary compatible with all 2.1.x and 2.0.x releases (and with 1.x for the non-laws modules). It is also binary compatible with the last two 2.2.0 release candidates (RC3 and RC4), but has minor binary incompatibilities with the earlier release candidates.

    ๐Ÿš€ While this release is not guaranteed to be 100% source-compatible with previous release series, most updates should not require changes. You may want to adjust your imports in order to use the new implicit scope type class instances, but this is only an optimization (it may improve your compile times). If you are using Scala Steward these adjustments will be made for you.

    ๐Ÿš€ This is the first general-availability release that does not include cats-macros artifacts. This module has been empty since Cats 1.x, but if you explicitly depend on it for some reason, you'll have to remove it from your build.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release is published for Scala 2.12 and 2.13 and for Scala.js 1.x. We dropped support for Scala.js 0.6 in 2.2.0-M3.

    ๐Ÿš€ There have been 261 pull requests merged since the 2.1.0 release last December, and the list below only includes PRs that have been merged since the last release candidate.

    3 API / feature enhancements

    ๐Ÿ“š 3 documentation improvements

    ๐Ÿ— 5 build improvements

    ๐Ÿš€ For a complete record of changes since 2.1.0, please see the release notes for the pre-releases:

    Migration

    In most cases all that's necessary to switch to using the new implicit scope instances is to replace cats.implicits._ imports with cats.syntax.all._ and delete any cats.instances imports. You don't have to make this change to use Cats 2.2.x, though, since this release doesn't remove anything. Importing cats.implicits._ will do exactly the same thing on Cats 2.1.x and 2.2.x, since imported instances have higher priority than implicit scope. You just won't see improvements in compile times.

    ๐Ÿ“ฆ There is one exception to this rule. The cats.implicits package provides implicit conversions from Cats's own Order and PartialOrder type classes to the standard library's Ordering and PartialOrdering. This conversion is not available in implicit scope, because it would be a bad idea for Cats to put instances of type classes it doesn't own into scope for types that it doesn't own (and also because it's not possible).

    For example the following code compiles on all Cats versions:

    import cats.instances.all.\_Ordering[List[Int]]
    

    The standard library doesn't provide an Ordering for List[Int] in implicit scope, but Cats provides both an Order[List[Int]] and an implicit conversion from cats.Order to scala.math.Ordering, so this code compiles.

    ๐Ÿšš In this case you can't simply remove the import, though, since while the Order instance will be available without it, the Ordering conversion won't be:

    scala\> cats.Order[List[Int]] res0: cats.kernel.Order[List[Int]] = cats.kernel.instances.ListOrder@91da5ff scala\> Ordering[List[Int]] ^ error: No implicit Ordering defined for List[Int].
    

    Instead you can either leave the import as it is, or change it to the more minimal cats.instances.order._.

  • v2.2.0-RC4 Changes

    August 21, 2020

    In previous Cats 2.2.0 pre-releases, all type class instances for Scala standard library types were available in implicit scope, except for the ones for Future. We made the decision to exclude those instances in part because putting them into implicit scope required duplicating some instances from cats-core in cats-kernel, which hadn't previously included any Future-related code. This release candidate reverses that decision and makes all type class instances available in implicit scope. It also includes a fix for one method on NonEmptyLazyList for Scala 2.13.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release candidate has the same binary compatibility guarantees as 2.2.0-RC3, and is backward binary-compatible with that release.
