This is a first release of the Parsec 3, the Google Summer of Code of Paolo Martini. The main changes are: * The Parser monad has been generalized into a ParserT monad transformer. * The parsers have been generalized to work over a stream of any type, in particular, with byte strings. * There is Haddock documentation for almost all functions in the Text.Parsec tree. * The Parser monad now has Applicative/Alternative instances * A "compatibility" Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec tree for the old Parsec. It's not perfect, but it should work with most Parsec 2 code. This package should be installable from with cabal install or with the standard cabal invocations. Cabal release: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/parsec-3.0.0 The darcs repository is at: http://code.haskell.org/parsec3 Note that this package is a new version of the parsec package and so will hide the old parsec-2.1.0.0 package. I would like to thank Antoine Latter for a variety of significant patches including updating the compatibility modules and a large effort testing them. [P.S. I will probably be lacking an Internet connection over the next few days.]
