[Blog copy of the announcement herehttp://www.serpentine.com/blog/2010/10/22/text-0-10-0-0-is-here/ .] I just pushed it to bitbucket http://bitbucket.org/bos/text and githubhttp://github.com/bos/text, and you can install it from the text site on Hackagehttp://hackage.haskell.org/package/text in the usual way: cabal update cabal install text What's in this release? - New functions for reading integers and floating point numbershttp://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/text/0.10.0.0/doc/html/Data-Text..., an oft-requested feature. They're fast, too: they range from parity with their bytestring counterparts, to up to 4 times faster. You can expect to parse 3 to 4 million Int values per second out of a text file, or up 2 million Double values per second. They're also easy to use, give error messages, and come in strict and lazy variants. - UTF-8 decoding and encoding are now very fasthttp://www.serpentine.com/blog/2010/10/15/unicode-text-performance-improveme.... They're up to 9x faster than they were, and close to the performance of pure C UTF-8 decoding and encoding. - The Eq and Ord instances are also now very fast, up to 5x faster than beforehttp://www.serpentine.com/blog/2010/10/19/a-brief-tale-of-faster-equality/. They're now faster than the bytestring instances. - Several other common functions received drive-by performance improvements too. - Better protection against rare crashes on really huge volumes of data.
