Johan, This doesn't build for me on ghc-6.10.2. It looks like an internal part of the network library changed, but I didn't give it much thought.

I am pleased to announce a new release of network-bytestring, a Haskell library for fast socket I/O using ByteStrings.

New in this release is support for scatter/gather I/O (also known as vectored I/O). Scatter/gather I/O provides more efficient I/O by using one system call to send several separate pieces of data and by avoiding unnecessary copying.

I would like to thank Brian Lewis, Bryan O'Sullivan, and Thomas Schilling for contributing patches for this release.

Get it:

  cabal install network-bytestring

And on Hackage:

  http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/network-bytestrin...

Windows hackers needed:

  I've made sure that the library builds on Windows but since I don't use Windows myself I haven't implemented scatter/gather I/O support for Windows. It should be straightforward to add and I'd be happy to review the patches.

Cheers,

Johan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
