-------------------------------------------- -- bytestring-lexing 0.4.3 -------------------------------------------- The bytestring-lexing package offers efficient reading and packing of common types like Double and Integral types. -------------------------------------------- -- Changes (since 0.4.2) -------------------------------------------- * Fixed a segfault bug in packDecimal. Due to the optimizations introduced in 0.4.2, packDecimal could segfault when passed a value larger than (maxBound::Word64). This patch corrects the oversight, and is a recommended upgrade for all users. Unfortunately, the safety test results in a 1.19x slowdown over version 0.4.2; reducing the 1.28x speedup for 0.4.0-->0.4.2 to a mere 1.08x for 0.4.0-->0.4.3. Future versions will probably introduce a type class to remove the safety check for types where it must vacuously succeed. -------------------------------------------- -- Links -------------------------------------------- Homepage: http://code.haskell.org/~wren/ Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring-lexing Darcs: http://community.haskell.org/~wren/bytestring-lexing Haddock (Darcs version): http://community.haskell.org/~wren/bytestring-lexing/dist/doc/html/bytestrin... -- Live well, ~wren
