Prep for release. (Maintenance vs fork etc)

[andrevdm]

I'm planning to either take over maintenance of https://github.com/ameingast/postgresql-simple-migratio if @ameingast wants to hand it over, or otherwise keep this fork and release a new hackage package.

I use postgresql-simple-migration both for private and work projects and now that ameingast has archived the original project I think its worth having a fork to keep it alive.

What I have already done is

1. Merged my PR:30 to allow a custom schema_migrations table name
2. Merged PR:36 implementing a log redirection. From @unclechu
3. Implemented Issue:40 as requested by @clementd-fretlink
4. Relaxed bounds where appropriate
5. Moved to github actions rather than travis

To do all of this there are unfortunately some breaking API changes. Most notably the change from MigrationContext to MigrationOptions. While I would have liked to have kept the API the same I believe that implementing PRs 30 and 36 required an API change to keep things sane.

Given that the breaking change I also decided to remove support for older GHC versions, which cleans up the code a bit.

Milestone 1 contains the issues I think need to be resolved before I can release the first version of the "fork".

(My apologies for the @ if you are not interested in the project/fork. I wont @ again unless you explicitly participate from now on)

Feel free to discuss any concerns or anything you'd like to see here.

Initial changes are on branch feature/v2

[andrevdm]

merged to master

[andrevdm]

I've added Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Migration.V1Compat so that existing users can easily use their existing code with no changes apart from the imported module name.

I've also added the exact v1 tests and they are all passing

That’s nice to hear! Do you have any plans for a release of a new version?

[andrevdm]

I just need to create a few unit tests for the new transaction control feature. I ran out of time over the weekend, but this should be pretty quick. I'd like to have a release out before the end of this week if possible.

Oh and also a new name that is better than postgresql-simple-migration2. That is the real work now 😬

Published to hackage: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/postgresql-migration-0.2.1.2

[andrevdm]

Ready for submission to hackage and stackage now. I've settled on the name postgresql-migration not terribly creative but searchable at least.

All other milestone 1 issues are done
