ANNOUNCE: monoid-subclasses-0.1.1, incremental-parser-0.2.2, and SCC-0.8
The new package monoid-subclasses [1] exports a number of classes that sit between monoids and groups: ReductiveMonoid, CancellativeMonoid, GCDMonoid, MonoidNull, and FactorialMonoid among others. The package also comes with class instances for all applicable data types from base, vector, containers, bytestring, and text packages. These classes were initially a part of the incremental-parser package [2] but they've moved, so incremental-parser-0.2.2 now depends on monoid-subclasses which has added more class methods and instances. The parsers constructed using the incremental-parser library generally work on any ReductiveMonoid, FactorialMonoid or TextualMonoid. You can thus construct a generic parser that operates on String, ByteString, or Text input, or even on Product Integer or a Map if you are so inclined. The version 0.8 of Streaming Component Combinators (a.k.a. SCC) has also been re-designed from the ground up. In the earlier versions, as in the pipes and conduit packages, the types of streams and stream-processing components were parametrized by the type of the individual items flowing through. All sources and sinks are now parametrized instead by the type of the monoid they produce or consume. As a consequence, SCC coroutines can now communicate in chunks of ByteString or Text instead of just lists, and these chunks can be of arbitrary size. The boundaries of producer's chunks are invisible to the consumer (excepting some low-level functions), which must specify the amount of data it wants to receive using a ReadRequest. This change at the heart of SCC has had a positive impact on outer layers, and especially on the Splitter component type which has become much simpler.

Thanks
The cancelative monoid is the right class for rolling back transactions, by
the way.
