Hi all,
I've put up the Yesod 0.8 migration guide[1]. I'm planning on releasing this version of Yesod tomorrow night (Saturday, UTC+3). Now's your chance to try and find those last few bugs before release.
I have one idea that I wanted to bounce around. The biggest thing in this release is the transition to Text. Overall, this is a good move, but it's just a little bit annoying to lose out on convenience functions like concat and ++. As a convenience, I'm considering exporting the following from the Yesod module:
mconcat (from Data.Monoid)
<> = mappend (from Data.Monoid)
Text (the strict version, from Data.Text)
I know there was some talk a while ago of providing a <> operator in base, but I haven't heard anything about it since. I think this could be a very nice convenience, and would appreciate feedback.
Michael
