It's time for the next release of IHP: v07082020 🎉 Since the last release we have merged 67 commits by 10 contributors.

Major Changes

Improved Error Pages:
- We've redesigned the error page design for compile-time and type errors.
- Additionally we now link to the GitHub wiki for specific exceptions for better error explanations.
- Exceptions thrown during routing will also now be shown in the browser (previously only a generic Something went wrong was shown).
- File paths in the error messages can now be clicked in the browser to open them in your code editor. Use the env vars IHP_EDITOR or EDITOR to specify your editor.
New Function: deleteAll: With deleteAll all records of a table can be deleted.
New Function: forEachWithIndex: Small helper, like forEach but with an index

Other Changes

To update the IHP version of your project, open default.nix and change the git commit in line 4 to the following:

rev = "c9cb949ae820776dfa3a8785a592ec22fe615276";

After that run the following command to update your project:

nix-shell -j auto --cores 0 --run 'make -B .envrc'

In case nix starts rebuilding IHP (might take a while), make sure cachix is set up as expected:

cachix use digitallyinduced

Now you can start your project as usual with ./start.

If you have any problems with updating, let us know on Gitter.

📅 The next release is expected to be released on 21.08.2020.
