Striving to be focused on one thing (GUI), Macroid promotes composability and high-level abstractions.

Commit messages

Macroid’s commit message structure is inspired by the Spray project. The message has the following format:

[=|+|!] [core|viewable|akka|docs|all]: <Actual message>. 

• = means there are no API changes
• + means added functionality
• ! means breaking changes (source or binary)

Example:

! core: Receive UI actions in mapUi & co (fix #48)  mapUi, flatMapUi, ... now operate on UI actions, rather than simple thunks. For example, the new type signature for mapUi is (A ? Ui[B]) ? Future[B]. 

Following this convention greatly simplifies writing the changelogs.

Documentation

Although this is not crucial, updating the docs under macroid-docs together with the code changes might save some time in the future, and thus is highly appreciated. It can be done in the same commit.
