This is the final release of shapeless-2.2.4.

shapeless-2.2.4 is primarily a bugfix release, but includes two new
features (Split1 and WrappedOrphan) to support type class derivation
for Cats. Expect to hear a lot more about this shortly …

These release notes provide a summary of changes since shapeless 2.2.3.
shapeless 2.2.4 is source and binary compatible with shapeless 2.2.0+
and should be binary compatible with shapeless-2.1.0 in most cases.

  • A Split1 type class has been added allowing complex nested type
    constructors (ie. F[G[...]]) to be decomposed (ie. as F[_],
    G[_]) despite the limitations imposed by SI-2712.

  • An additional mechanism for managing the implicit priority of orphan
    type class instances (WrappedOrphan) has been added.

  • A number of bugs relating to Generic instances for types with non-
    trivial dependent prefixes or inaccessible constructors have been
    fixed (#369, #417, #418,
    #421 and #424).

  • The Witness macro no longer attempts to produce singleton types for
    instances of values types (#379).

  • An interaction between SI-5465 and Lazy which caused
    generation of Generic instances of case-class-like types with an
    unapply method has been fixed (#422)

  • shapeless master is now built with Scala 2.11.7.

  • Scala.js has been bumped to 0.6.4 and shapeless builds for Scala.js
    and Scala 2.11.7 and 2.12.0-M1 are now being published.

Many thanks everyone who has contributed ideas, enthusiasm and
encouragement.
