Beta 18.09.2020

It's time for the next release of IHP: 20200918 🎉

Major Changes

• Depoyment Documentation: Finally it's here. You can find it inside the Guide. Share your IHP apps with the internet! :). You can find details on how to deploy with IHP Cloud or how to deploy your app onto your own infrastructure.
• Nested orderBy: You can now write a query like query @User |> orderBy #firstname |> orderBy #lastname. Previously the last call to orderBy #lastname would overwrite the existing orderBy #firstname. This has been added by @fegu 🎉
• error: file '/build/db/.s.PGSQL.5432' has an unsupported type <- fixed: A long standing issue causing the error message error: file '/build/db/.s.PGSQL.5432' has an unsupported type when starting IHP has been fixed by @ruhatch ! 🎉 This error happend when opening a new nix shell while the dev server is running.
• New Function getSessionAndClear: Returns a session value and removes it from the session
• getRequestUrl has been renamed to getRequestPath to better reflect it's behavior. Also a new getRequestPathAndQuery has been added.
• Basic Support for the jsonb: You can now easily store json inside your postgres with your IHP app. Right now this is just very basic support. Additional support for mapping the json will be added in the future. Currently you need to manually map it using aeson.
• New Function toSlug: toSlug "IHP Release: 18.09.2020" will turn the string into a url friendly version "ihp-release-18-09-2020".

Other Changes

• The default IHP Prelude now exposes more common haskell functions: throw, throwIO, catch, forever
• A nice error screen was added when fetchOne fails because no result was returned
• Application production binaries now accept GHC RTS options at runtime
• Changed ghci prompt from lambda symbol to IHP as this caused encoding issues
• Fixed bug where the redirect url after login did persist for multiple sessions
• IHP's build process has been improved to avoid redundant compilation
• Time renders by dateTime is now working correctly in all locals :) Thanks @dansvo!
• Fixed sql syntax in fetchExists
• One last mention of TurboHaskell (the old name of IHP) has been removed.
• Lots of documentation fixes by @CharlesTaylor7 @fegu @ivanov
