-------------------------------------------- -- bytestring-lexing 0.4.2 -------------------------------------------- The bytestring-lexing package offers efficient reading and packing of common types like Double and Integral types. -------------------------------------------- -- Changes (since 0.4.0) -------------------------------------------- * Faster implementation of packDecimal. Inspired by [1] I applied the same optimizations to the ByteString implementation of packDecimal. According to the benchmarks I have on hand the new version is about 1.3x faster than the old version. So the difference isn't nearly as impressive; but it's not trivial either. * Added buffer overflow check for asHexadecimal. This only matters if you try converting a ByteString longer than (maxBound `quot` 2 ::Int). I forget if the old version segfaulted or what; but now you get an error message about trying to allocate a buffer that's too large.
