Language::MuldisD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007-09-23 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Language::MuldisD version 0.8.1 is released on CPAN as
Language-MuldisD-0.8.1.tar.gz.
* From now on, the file version of MuldisD.pm will be kept in sync with
the distribution version, regardless of whether that file had otherwise
been changed since the previous release.
* New file versions are: MuldisD.pm and Core.pod 0.8.1 and Grammar.pod
0.6.1 and PerlHosted.pod 0.3.1. The other pre-existing versioned files
are unchanged.
* (Core.pod, Grammar.pod, PerlHosted.pod) Made various minor
documentation bug-fixes or updates.
* (Core.pod) Updated the SYSTEM-DEFINED CORE SCALAR FUNCTIONS sections
for enumerated types to consolidate the per-value selector function
documentation for brevity; the functions themselves were unchanged.
* (Core.pod) Updated all the system-defined function signatures to
remove the 'RO:' text by parameters; that text was superfluous because
all parameters of all functions are always read-only. The 'UPD:' and
'RO:' text in system-defined procedure signatures remains, since a
procedure can have either/both subject-to-update or read-only params.

* Language::MuldisD version 0.8.0 is released on CPAN as
Language-MuldisD-0.8.0.tar.gz.
* New file versions are: Core.pod 0.8.0 and Basics.pod 0.7.0 and
Temporal.pod and Spatial.pod 0.5.1 and MuldisD.pm 0.5.0 and SeeAlso.pod
0.3.2 and PerlHosted.pod 0.3.0. The other pre-existing versioned files
are unchanged.
* (MuldisD.pm, Basics.pod) Updates to various main/introductory
documentation. Changed the NAME of Basics.pod to "10,000 Mile View of
Muldis D" from "Design document of the Muldis D language" as it isn't
the intro file anymore (MuldisD.pm is instead). Moved the large
PREFACE and DESCRIPTION sections from Basics.pod to MuldisD.pm, then
did a small amount of editing to them; Basics.pod then gained small
replacements. Further minor edits to other sections.
* (Core.pod, PerlHosted.pod, Temporal.pod, Spatial.pod) More
system-defined package consolidation: Empty merged into Universal;
Database merged into Tuple; (Set|Maybe|Seq|Bag) merged into Relation;
Quasi(Set|Maybe|Seq|Bag) merged into QuasiRelation.
* (Basics.pod) Added indenting to the ENTITY NAMES hierarchy.
* (Core.pod) Moved the documentation sections about non-catalog
specialized subtypes below their counterpart sections on catalog types.
* (Core.pod) Renamed the data types Cat.(ShortNameSet|AttrRenameMap)
to Cat.(SetOfShortName|BiDiShortNameMap); the latter's attributes were
also renamed.
* (Core.pod) Fleshed out the set of catalog data types by adding these
new ones: Cat.ScalarLiteral, Cat.E_EK, Cat.Expr, Cat.ShortNameMap,
Cat.SetOfShortNameMap.
* (SeeAlso.pod) Reflected that Muldis DB is now LGPL rather than GPL.
2007-09-11 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Language::MuldisD version 0.7.0 is released on CPAN as
Language-MuldisD-0.7.0.tar.gz.
* Removed the file Catalog.pod, after moving its main content into the
files Basics.pod and Core.pod, and removed any references to
Catalog.pod in other files. The CATALOGS documentation section was
moved into Basics.pod, below ENTITY NAMES. The TYPE SUMMARY section
was merged into its counterpart in Core.pod. The 2 SYSTEM-DEFINED CORE
CATALOG (|NON-)SCALAR DATA TYPES sections were moved into Core.pod, at
the end of all the type definitions.
* New file versions are: Core.pod 0.7.0 and Basics.pod and Grammar.pod
0.6.0 and Temporal.pod and Spatial.pod 0.5.0 and PerlHosted.pod 0.2.0.
The other pre-existing versioned files are unchanged.
* (Basics.pod) Chopped the 'main' routine kind down so that it is now
only applicable to a non-hosted Muldis D application; hosted (eg, by
Perl) Muldis D programs don't have 'main' Muldis D routines.
* (Basics.pod, Core.pod) Changed the database type so its attributes
may now be composed of not only relations, but databases (the leaves of
this recursion are all relations); the reason for this was to provide a
more elegant way to represent the common convention of dividing a
relational database into schemas for better entity management.
* (Basics.pod) Started rewrite of the ENTITY NAMES documentation; for
now there is just the addition of a new namespace hierarchy. The new
hierarchy has the following 8 top-level names: cat, sys, app, glo, dep,
sch, pkg, lex. The old namespaces map to the new ones as follows:
sys.cat -> cat.system ; nat.cat -> cat.native ; mnt -> cat.mount ;
foreign -> cat.foreign ; interp -> cat.interp ; sys.(type|rtn).* ->
sys.(Core|<extension>).<package>.* ; nat.(data|type|rtn).* ->
(app|glo.<depot>).* ; lex.* -> lex.* . The top-level names [dep, sch,
pkg] are context-sensitive aliases for something under 'app' and/or
'glo', so entities can tersely and portably refer to their own
depot|schema|package, sort of like 'lex' (lexical) allows. Notably,
the type of entity, data|type|rtn, is no longer included in the long
name of most entities, and entities of different types now clearly
share the same namespace, as per is typical with SQL DBMSs where both
tables and stored procedures are in the same schema object namespaces.
* (Core.pod, Grammar.pod, PerlHosted.pod, Temporal.pod, Spatial.pod)
Renamed all the system-defined types and operators to roughly fit into
the new namespace hierarchy. The operators saw less drastic changes,
as roughly speaking, their 'rtn' name component was simply changed to
'Core' (it would have been different for temporal/spatial operators,
but none of those were defined yet). The types saw more drastic
changes; roughly speaking, all 'type' were renamed to one of
Core|Temporal|Spatial, and for non-catalog core types, the unique part
of each name was replaced with 2 instances of itself. Roughly
speaking, what used to be a type name now doubles as a type name and a
package name for both that type and for its operators. Following this,
the new system-defined packages were then either consolidated or split
as appropriate, grouping most similar entities and separating less
similar ones. For example, all generic 'Int' types were grouped under
one package, and the 'Temporal' types were split into several.
* (Grammar.pod, PerlHosted.pod) Updated the example user-defined
entity names so that they roughly fit into the new namespace hierarchy.
What was nat.type.* is now glo.the_db.*.
2007-09-03 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Language::MuldisD version 0.6.0 is released on CPAN as
Language-MuldisD-0.6.0.tar.gz.
* New file versions are: Core.pod 0.6.0 and Basics.pod 0.5.1 and
Grammar.pod 0.5.0 and Temporal.pod 0.4.1 and Spatial.pod 0.4.0 and
Catalog.pod 0.3.1 and PerlHosted.pod 0.1.0. The other pre-existing
versioned files are unchanged.
* (Core.pod, Basics.pod, Catalog.pod, Temporal.pod, Spatial.pod)
Renamed the union type Ordinal to Ordered, and any types previously
referred to as being ordinal types are now referred to as being ordered
types. This change makes things more correct (and less confusing),
since actual ordinal types are supposed to be both finite and discrete,
whereas some Muldis D ordered types are infinite and/or continuous.
* (Core.pod) Removed the floating-point numeric types from the core
again, but that they aren't yet re-added to some language extension;
they will be later, as per inexact or significant-figure-watching
numerics in general. Now the core just contains exact numerics that
are integers or rationals (and generally speaking it will now be said
exact types specifically which some common language extensions like
temporals or spatials are generally built over). This simplifying
change was made because it is expected that most general uses of
numerics in Muldis D program code will not use numbers in the extreme
ranges that only inexact floats can represent efficiently (eg, 10^308),
and rather they will likely just have numbers of less than 20-30
digits, which are easy enough for rationals.
* (Core.pod) Updated the Rat|BRat|DRat type definitions slightly.
* (Core.pod) Added the URat|PRat types, which are to Rat what
UInt|PInt are to Int. Also added (Set|Maybe|Seq|Bag)OfRat types.
* (Core.pod) Added new Int operators range|median|mode, updated the
Int operator 'power', moved the definition of 'abs' upward.
* (Core.pod) Added an initial complement of 28 Rat operators, which
are mostly a superset of analogies to the Int operators (minus
'remainder'); additions include operators for calculating
means/averages, logarithms, and rounding.
* (Grammar.pod, PerlHosted.pod) Added sections for the Rat|URat|PRat
types as per for Int|UInt|PInt.
* (Spatial.pod) Added an initial hierarchy of 15 spatial types, but
as yet they lack descriptions.
2007-08-31 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Language::MuldisD version 0.5.0 is released on CPAN as
Language-MuldisD-0.5.0.tar.gz.
* The rational numeric and floating-point numeric data types have been
promoted to the language core, and so the main content of Num.pod was
moved into Core.pod, under the TYPE SUMMARY and SYSTEM-DEFINED CORE
SCALAR DATA TYPES sections; the rest of the file Num.pod was then
deleted, and any references to it in other files were removed. The
promoted data types were also renamed to remove the '.Num'.
* New file versions are: Basics.pod and Core.pod 0.5.0 and Grammar.pod
0.4.1. The other pre-existing versioned files are unchanged.
* (Basics.pod) Reorganized the entity namespace 'lex.*' so it no
longer mirrors the structure of the (global) 'nat.*' namespace. There
are no longer any lexically scoped data types or routines or special
catalog variables; only normal variables can be lexical.
* (Basics.pod) Updated the definition of the 'function' routine kind
so it has no lexical variables, consists of a single expression tree,
and can only invoke functions; hence a function is now just a named
expression tree. Replaced the 'host_gate' routine type with the 'main'
routine type, as it is conceptually the non-invokable "main program" of
a Muldis D program.
* (Core.pod) Added a bunch of named core data subtypes that exist for
convenience, such as because they name many core operator parameter
types. Added a tree of these to the TYPE SUMMARY section, and added a
new SYSTEM-DEFINED CORE SPECIALIZED SUBTYPES section. For example,
many of these additions are named
'sys.type.(Set|Maybe|Seq|Bag)Of(Bool|Int|Blob|Text)'. The pre-existing
'sys.type.PInt2_36' type was also moved into these sections.
* (Core.pod) Rearranged the documentation sections for operators, so
that they are all grouped first by routine kind and second by the
mainly applicable data type, rather than the reverse grouping; all
functions appear first (the vast majority), then all update operators
(a minority), then all system services (a smaller minority.
* (Core.pod) Renamed many 'v' function parameters to 'topic'.
* (Core.pod) Updated the 2 int-text mapping function signatures to
rename any 'Text' to 'NEText'. Merged and generalized the 4 blob-text
mapping functions into 2 which lack '_(2|16)' suffixes. Added
'maybe_*' variants of the 2 functions 'Int.(quotient|remainder)'.
* (Core.pod) Removed the 'Rat' subtype 'RatI' and renamed its sibling
subtypes to '(B|D)Rat' from 'Rat(B|D)'.
* (Core.pod) Replaced the 2 'FloatB(32|64)' data types with the more
generic 'Float' type, then gave that 2 new subtypes of '(B|D)Float' as
per the 'Rat' type hierarchy. The new 'Float' type is an exact numeric
of unlimited precision as per 'Int' and 'Rat', and it doesn't have any
special values like a +/- zero distinction, nor infinities, nor NaNs.
Note that all Muldis D core numeric types are exact and lack special
values; any numerics that are inexact or have special values will be
relegated to language extensions; in the core, any precision loss that
could possibly happen in an operation (eg, from a square-root) is part
of the defintion of operators, not the data type.
* (Core.pod) Replaced the function 'Tuple.extend' with
'Tuple.product'; the latter is also fleshed out.
* (Core.pod) Fleshed out the definitions of these functions:
'Relation.quotient' (also renamed from 'divide'), 'Relation.restrict',
'Relation.extend'. Also added these functions: 'Relation.product'.
* (Grammar.pod) Changed the tokens 'Cat(Short|Long)Name' to
'Cat.(Short|Long)Name' so they match actual type names like the rest of
Grammar.pod does.
2007-08-12 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Language::MuldisD version 0.4.1 is released on CPAN as
Language-MuldisD-0.4.1.tar.gz.
* New file versions are: PerlHosted.pod 0.0.1. The other pre-existing
versioned files are unchanged.
* (PerlHosted.pod) This release is an experiment with an alternate
formatting of the POD list items, in an attempt to make them look more
like actual lists under the Search CPAN site, rather than paragraphs;
each "=item Foo" is now spelled "=item *\rFoo".
2007-08-09 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Language::MuldisD version 0.4.0 is released on CPAN as
Language-MuldisD-0.4.0.tar.gz.
* Renamed MuldisD.pod to MuldisD.pm, and added an empty dummy package
declaration of Language::MuldisD to it, all for the sole purpose of
helping the CPAN indexer link to this distribution properly; it doesn't
work when the namespace file is plain pod. For similar reasons, the
version number of MuldisD.pm will now always be kept in sync with the
whole-distribution version number declared in the Makefile.PL.
* Also renamed Language.pod to Basics.pod.
* New file versions are: MuldisD.pm and Basics.pod and Core.pod and
Grammar.pod and Num.pod and Temporal.pod 0.4.0. The other pre-existing
versioned files are unchanged.
* (Basics.pod) Introduced complete vs parameterized types.
* (Basics.pod) Every data type is now named and is referred to by that
name, the change being that only scalar types used to have names. This
said, the actual identities of types haven't changed, so 2
differently-named declarations of types that aren't scalar and have the
same structure will still be considered to be the same actual type; the
names for types that aren't scalars are simply aliases for this
identity. This change was made to greatly simplify (and reduce errors
in) the process of declaring data types, particularly hierarchical
types, and declaring nonscalar values.
* (Core.pod) Added new operators
Universal.(is_value_of_type|treat|default).
* (Core.pod) Renamed each of the operators Universal.(equal|not_equal)
and Relation.(empty|not_empty) to prepend an "is_".
* (Core.pod, Num.pod, Temporal.pod) Updated each of the ordinal data
types to specify what their minimum and maximum values are, or whether
said are infinities.
* (Core.pod) Redefined the Maybe-returning N-ary functions
Ordinal.(min|max) with versions that instead try to return that
functions' identity value when given zero argument values, and
fails/dies in just specific situations where said identity is
impossibly or impractically large to handle. Also added 2 new
functions Ordinal.maybe_(min|max) that provide the old behaviour.
* (Core.pod) Redefined the N-ary functions Blob.(and|or|xor) from
resulting in Maybes to resulting in identity values on zero inputs.
Also corrected the Relation.intersection function definition such that
its identity value is actually the universal relation for its heading,
not the empty relation; depending how big that is, the function may now
possibly fail on zero input values. Also added new function
Relation.not, which results in its argument subtracted from the
universal relation for the same heading; this may possibly fail if that
is too big a value.
* (Temporal.pod) Restricted the Temporal.Duration(|OfDays) types to be
specific to data with time zone offsets, and added 2 more types
Temporal.Duration(|OfDays)NoTZ to handle the other possibility; the
idea is that the former should be considered more accurate than the
latter, as per DateTime vs DateTimeNoTZ. Also updated all 4 to permit
negative durations in addition to positive ones. Also rearranged the
types to group all the with-timezone and no-timezone together.
* (Grammar.pod) Rewrote the representative Concrete Muldis D grammar
so that it is formatted as an actual compiling (though otherwise
untested) Perl 6 grammar, rather than the pseudo-LALR grammar. Also,
the rewritten grammar is actually complete, unlike the many "todo" gaps
in the old. Not that it won't stand to be further improved later.
* (Grammar.pod) Added new EXAMPLES documentation section which shows
actual Concrete Muldis D code fragments.
* Added new file lib/Language/MuldisD/PerlHosted.pod, which starts at
version 0.0.0. This file parallels Grammar.pod, but instead shows what
arrangement of core Perl data structures make up Perl hosted Abstract
Muldis D, which is the recommended interchange format between Muldis D
implementations and Perl applications. With code examples! This file
also stands as a recommendation for a general AST for use by database
related modules, such as ORMs, to specify database queries with.

* Language::MuldisD version 0.3.1 is released on CPAN as
Language-MuldisD-0.3.1.tar.gz.
* New file versions are: Language.pod and SeeAlso.pod 0.3.1. The other
versioned files are unchanged at 0.3.0.
* Fixed a bug where both MuldisD.pod and Language.pod had the same
NAME, which resulted in CPAN indexing problems.
* Minor fix in SeeAlso.pod.
2007-07-24 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Language::MuldisD version 0.3.0 is released on CPAN as
Language-MuldisD-0.3.0.tar.gz.
* What was Muldis-DB at version 0.2.0 and earlier, has been split in 2,
with the parts to be Language-MuldisD and Muldis-DB, each at version
0.3.0 and later. Prior to the split, both the Perl 5 and Perl 6
versions of Muldis-DB contained identical copies of what became
Language-MuldisD; after the split, neither Muldis-D had a copy.
* All versioned files had their version numbers brought up to 0.3.0.
* This is the first release of the Language-MuldisD distribution, and
the first release of any distribution to contain Perl 5 modules named
Language::MuldisD::\w+.
* The file lib/Language/MuldisD.pod is cloned from part of what used to
be lib/Muldis/DB.pm, and the file lib/Language/MuldisD/SeeAlso.pod is
cloned from part of what used to be lib/Muldis/DB/SeeAlso.pod, and
lib/Language/MuldisD/Language.pod was renamed from
lib/Muldis/DB/Language.pod, and all other lib/Language/MuldisD/\w+ were
renamed from lib/Muldis/DB/Language/\w+.
* Updated Grammar.pod concerning '(Int|Blob):x:y' so that the 'x' is
now a single character in the same base as the 'y', rather than being a
possibly multi-character integer in base-10; moreover, the 'x' is now
equal to the highest value that a character may represent, which in the
base in question is 1 less than the base number. So eg, base-2 is now
specified with an 'x' value of '1', base-10 is a '9', base-16 an 'F',
etc. Also, the 'y' part for Int|Blob is no longer quote-delimited.

2007-07-20 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Muldis::DB version 0.2.0 for Perl 5 is released on CPAN as
Muldis-DB-0.2.0.tar.gz. The rest of this Changes entry refers only to
the portions of it that became part of the Language-MuldisD
distribution following release 0.2.0.
* New file versions are: DB.pod and Language.pod and Core.pod and
Catalog.pod and Grammar.pod and SeeAlso.pod 0.2.0. Unchanged file
versions are: Num.pod and Temporal.pod and Spatial.pod 0.1.0.
* Updated the TRANSACTIONS AND CONCURRENCY section of Language.pod in
regards to how the scope of explicit transactions is specified, and
where implicit transactions occur. Also, Muldis D now no longer has
language for non-scope-attached transactions, and any concept of
distinct transaction initiation or termination statements will be
hoisted to the host language (presumably as methods of ::DBMS objects).
* Updated Core.pod to add the scalar type 'PInt2_36', and to replace
the pseudo-type 'Any' with the pseudo-type 'Some.Universal', and added
'Some.Ordinal'.
* Updated Grammar.pod concerning integer literals; they can be
represented with any of base-2 thru base-36 now.
* Updated Grammar.pod and Core.pod concerning enumerated types, such as
Bool and Order; individual values are now specified using eg
[Bool:true] rather than [Bool.True], which then makes them more like
literals of other simple types, and less like data type names.
* Updated Core.pod to add definitions for the generic operators common
to all ordinal types: compare, reverse_compare, is_increase,
is_decrease, min, max. Added 'reverse' operator for the Order type.
Added or replaced a bunch of operators for the Int|Blob|Text types.
Other small changes.
* Updated Core.pod to add an initial complement of common tuple and
relation operators (such as project, join, union), perhaps most of
them. These are a large part of what makes Muldis D a relational
language at all.
* Updated Catalog.pod to add new core data types: Cat.ShortNameSet,
Cat.AttrRenameMap.
2007-07-11 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Muldis::DB version 0.1.0 for Perl 5 is released on CPAN as
Muldis-DB-0.1.0.tar.gz. The rest of this Changes entry refers only to
the portions of it that became part of the Language-MuldisD
distribution following release 0.2.0.
* This is a major release that focuses on overhauling or defining part
of the Muldis D meta-model / system catalog, which is essential for
supporting any user-defined DBMS entities, that is, for doing anything
remotely useful. Said overhaul is expected to be staged over 3-4
consecutive releases, of which the current one is essentially just
updating documentation; not much code was changed by this release.
* As of this release, all pod-only files now also have version numbers,
shown in the VERSION docs by NAME, like code-containing modules do; the
initial version numbers are all 0.1.0.
* Muldis D now has 2 representation formats (Concrete Muldis D,
Abstract Muldis D) rather than 3 (relations, ASTs, strings).
* Rearranged any relevant docs so that the most important core scalar
types are now in the order [Bool, Int, Blob, Text] and the relation
type factory Maybe now appears after Set.
* Muldis D now has a new scalar data type, "Order", which is an
enumeration (like "Bool" is) of 3 values: [Increase, Same, Decrease];
it is the result type of any binary comparison operator that underlies
the likes of less|greater-than or min|max or sorting operations.
* Muldis D now has the new scalar types "Cat.ShortName" and
"Cat.LongName", which replace the also removed "Cat.EntityName" and its
(as yet unused) system-defined subtypes.
* Split up Language.pod 6 ways, into itself and
Language/(Core|Catalog).pod and
Language/Ext/(Num|Temporal|Spatial).pod. For the most part, the only
initial content of the 5 new files are corresponding portions of what
used to be the SYSTEM-DEFINED DATA TYPES and (actually empty)
SYSTEM-DEFINED ROUTINES main documentation sections of Language.pod,
but that the CATALOGS main section was also moved to Catalog.pod;
Language.pod retained all the other documentation sections that it
previously had. (Language.pod retained about 75% of its previous
content; about 25% was moved out.)
* Further updated the 5 language files with type definitions, to update
some definitions, and also to add a small TYPE SUMMARY main doc section
to each file.
* Updated Core.pod to add several main doc sections that have an
initial complement of system-defined routines. In particular, the
equal|not_equal|assign routines that all types have are now defined,
and all the common boolean and integer operators were added, and some
converter routines such as int-from-text et al, were all added. Many
other operator definitions are pending, especially the relational ones.
* Added new file lib/Muldis/DB/Language/Grammar.pod, which describes
Concrete Muldis D details that aren't applicable to Abstract Muldis D.
2007-06-29 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Muldis::DB version 0.0.1 for Perl 5 is released on CPAN as
Muldis-DB-0.0.1.tar.gz. The rest of this Changes entry refers only to
the portions of it that became part of the Language-MuldisD
distribution following release 0.2.0.
* New file versions (not marked though) are: Language.pod 0.0.1.
* The primary purpose of this release is to re-license the Muldis D
specification under actual free software licenses, specifically version
3 of the GPL family of licenses, which the Free Software Foundation
formally published on 2007 June 29th. By contrast, the previous Muldis
D releases were under an expiring proprietary license, with just the
promise of a free re-license to come. Accordingly, the file
LICENSE/GPL was added to this distro, which contains the text of the
GPL version 3.0.
* This release also includes a collection of small documentation
updates and fixes, such as the following: We now use the official
typography for the names 'TTM' and 'D' and such. Added a DOCUMENTATION
READING ORDER section to the README file.
2007-06-20 Darren Duncan <perl@DarrenDuncan.net>
* Muldis::DB version 0.0.0 for Perl 5 is released on CPAN as
Muldis-DB-0.0.0.tar.gz. The rest of this Changes entry refers only to
the portions of it that became part of the Language-MuldisD
distribution following release 0.2.0.
* Initial file versions (not marked though) are: Language.pod 0.0.0.
* As of this release, the Muldis D specification is officially in
pre-alpha development status. A lot of documentation is present, but a
lot isn't. What is mostly done is the higher level documentation.
What is mostly undone is documentation of the API details. What is
already present should be sufficient to begin study of Muldis D such
that it can actually be put to use within the next few weeks or months
as Muldis D is fleshed out. Also, it should be possible now to start
writing code that implements it or uses said.
