Fmlib Release 0.6.0

[hbr]

A lot of functionality has been added to the library. Unfortunately some changes
are breaking. It is quite easy to adapt to the changes, because only the
syntactic interface (different module names, function names, ...) has been
changed but not the semantic interface.

• Fmlib_browser:

  • More generic http requests.
  • Fix: focussing and blurring of elements
  • Added simple tasks to the module 'Command': It is now possible to execute
    simple tasks directly as a command without the need to make a task.
  • Reference nodes: It is possible to add reference elements into the dom.
    The reference nodes can be modified via commands. Reference nodes can be
    used to optimize html pages with many many elements (e.g. spreadsheets).
    The performance gain is in the range of jane street's incremental.
  • Local files can be selected a used within a web application.
  • Local and session storage implemented.
  • Added module 'Url' to parse and generate urls.
  • Added support for single page applications with access to the browser history.
  • Modules 'Html' and 'Attribute' have now a complete set of nodes and
    attributes.

• Fmlib_pretty:

  • Redesign based on Philip Wadler's design of a pretty printer. With the
    redesign some bugs have been fixed. The module 'Print' (old design) is
    marked as obsolete and will be removed in the next releases. The
    redesigned module is called 'Pretty' and has nearly the same interface as
    the old module.

• Fmlib_parse:

  • Added lexeme parsers.

  • Fix: Backtracking did not work correctly in some corner cases.
