Bugfixes:

• Make FromJSON instance for Qualified backwards compatible (#4403 by @ptrfrncsmrph)

  Prior to #4293, Qualified was encoded to JSON such that

  >>> encode $ Qualified Nothing "foo"
  [null,"foo"]
  >>> encode $ Qualified (Just $ ModuleName "A") "bar"
  ["A","bar"]
  

  The type of Qualified has changed so that null no longer appears in JSON output, but for sake of backwards-compatibility with JSON that was produced prior to those changes (pre-v0.15.2), we need to accept null, which will be interpreted as Qualified ByNullSourcePos.

• Fix extraneous qualifiers added to references to floated expressions (#4401 by @rhendric)

New features:

• Increases the max number of typed holes displayed from 5 up to 30 (#4341 by @JordanMartinez)

• Add a compiler optimization for ST functions with up to 10 arity, similar to Effect optimizations. (#4386 by @mikesol)

• Enable the compiler to derive Foldable and Traversable instances (#4392 by @rhendric)

  These instances follow the same rules as derived Functor instances.
  For details, see the PureScript language reference.

Bugfixes:

• Qualify references to expressions floated to the top level of a module by the compiler (#4364 by @rhendric)

• Fix replicated type hole suggestions due to malformed source spans (#4374 by @PureFunctor)

  In PureScript 0.15.4, the following code will produce multiple entries in
  the type hole suggestions. This is due to malformed source spans that are
  generated when desugaring value declarations into case expressions.

  module Main where
  data F = X | Y
  f :: forall a. F -> a -> a
  f X b = ?help
  f Y b = ?help
  

• Improve error spans for class and instance declarations (#4383 and #4391 by @PureFunctor and @rhendric)

  This improves the error spans for class and instance
  declarations. Instead of highlighting the entire class or instance
  declaration when UnknownName is thrown, the compiler now
  highlights the class name and its arguments.

  Before:

  [1/2 UnknownName]
    5  class G a <= F a
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Unknown type class G
  [2/2 UnknownName]
    7  instance G a => F a
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Unknown type class G
  

  After:

  [1/2 UnknownName]
    5  class G a <= F a
             ^^^
    Unknown type class G
  [2/2 UnknownName]
    7  instance G a => F a
                ^^^
    Unknown type class G
  

• Fix a bug where the compiler did not consider interactions of all functional dependencies in classes. (#4195 by @MonoidMusician)
  In particular, combinations of multiple parameters determining other parameter(s) were not handled properly,
  affecting overlapping instance checks and the selection of which parameters are fully determined.

Other improvements:

• Bump actions environment to macOS-11 (#4372 by @PureFunctor)

Internal:

• Enable OverloadedRecordDot extension throughout codebase (#4355 by @JordanMartinez)

• Ensure order of args remain unchanged in freeTypeVariables (#4369 by @JordanMartinez)

• Bump HLint to version 3.5 and address most of the new hints (#4391 by @rhendric)

• Remove purescript-cst from Makefile (#4389 by @ptrfrncsmrph)

• Bump depend NPM purescript-installer to ^0.3.1 (#4353 by @imcotton)

• Remove base-compat as a dependency (#4384 by @PureFunctor)
