I'm happy to announce the release of pipes-network 0.1.0. The pipes-network package allows using network sockets together with the pipes and pipes-safe libraries, for streaming purposes. Currently, just TCP sockets are supported. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/pipes-network-0.1.0 The package is split into two halves: one “Safe” half that can be used if proxies need to safely and timely acquire and release new sockets within a pipeline, using the facilities provided by the pipes-safe package; and another simpler and faster half that doesn't depend on pipes-safe, but it also doesn't provide any means for safely acquiring and releasing new sockets within a pipeline itself. There's plenty of documentation and some examples in the Haddocks. Many thanks to Gabriel Gonzalez, author of pipes, for discussing the design of the library with me; and to Paolo Capriotti, author of a previous pipes-network version, for his original work and for handing me the maintenance of this package. ¡Enjoy your TCP streams! Regards, Renzo Carbonara.
