Hello, I would like to announce the parsec2 package, which is a maintained fork of the parsec library as of version 2.1.0.1. This project is for folks who would like to use the simpler interface and fewer extensions relative to parsec-3.0+, but don't want to rely on an old version of a package on hackage. Parsec is designed from scratch as an industrial-strength parser library. It is simple, safe, well documented (on the package homepage), has extensive libraries and good error messages, and is also fast. Changes relative to parsec-2.1.0.1: * Added haddocks done for parsec-3 * in Parsec.Token, sort names after accounting for case sensitivity, not before from: Greg Fitzgerald When I say that I'm maintaining the parsec2 package, that means I am accepting bugfix patches and doing work to ensure that the package builds on the current version of GHC. Patches are welcome to support building on any other Haskell implementations. Any inovations in the field of parser combinators will be happening in other venues. Documentation patches are also welcome. I'm not quite sure what to do about the fact that both parsec2 and mainline parsec provide modules of the same name. If there's motion towards using the parsec2 package, we might be able to deprecate and then retire the compatibility layer provided by parsec-3.*.
