circe v0.12.0-M1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-04-27 // about 5 years ago
  • ๐Ÿš€ This release updates the Cats version from 1.6.0 to 2.0.0-M1 and introduces support for Scala 2.13.0-RC1 (2.13.0-M5 is no longer supported). It includes breaking updates to several other dependencies, including ScalaTest (from 3.0.5 to 3.1.0-SNAP9), ScalaCheck (from 1.13.5 to 1.14.0), and Discipline (from 0.9.0 to 0.11.2-M1). These breaking updates only affect the testing modules, and in fact all other modules are likely to work fine with Cats 1.x releases (but you should update anyway).

    ๐Ÿš€ This release also includes an experimental new circe-rs (for "recursion schemes") module, with a JsonF pattern functor that can be used with libraries like Droste (thanks to Olivier Mรฉlois for contributing this in #1092). The io.circe.rs package (or something equivalent) may be included in circe-core in future releases.

    ๐Ÿš€ This release also brings the java.time decoders in circe-core on Scala 2.12+ back into sync with the ones in circe-java8 (for example MonthDay instances had only been available in circe-java8 in 0.11; see #1060 and #1061 for the details).

    It includes a couple of API additions:

    โ€ฆand a bug fix for circe-generic-extras:

    ๐Ÿš€ Please note that this is a milestone release (that depends on other milestone releases). Any use, testing, feedback, etc. is much appreciated, but be forewarned that there may be bugs or differences from the final 0.12.0 release. In particular 0.12.0 will not be released until a non-milestone Cats release is available (although it won't wait for 2.13.0), and the testing modules will probably change substantially before 0.12.0 (they will no longer depend on ScalaTest).
