On behalf of the Data.Text team, I am delighted to announce the release of preview versions of two new packages:
text 0.1 Fast, packed Unicode text support, using a modern stream fusion framework. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/text text-icu 0.1 Augments text with comprehensive character set conversion support and normalization (and soon more), via bindings to the ICU library. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/text-icu These packages fill out critical pieces of functionality for the Haskell platform, without compromising on either performance or safety. We are referring to these as *preview* releases because although the text package in particular has been quite heavily tested, it has not been thoroughly tuned, and we have not yet implemented a chunked lazy text representation suitable for streaming gigabytes of data. The APIs are pretty conventional, but are still subject to change. If you want to contribute, please get copies of the source trees from here: darcs get http://code.haskell.org/text darcs get http://darcs.serpentine.com/text-icu Please send bug reports and patches to your friendly Data.Text team: Tom Harper <rthar...@aftereternity.co.uk> Duncan Coutts <duncan.cou...@worc.ox.ac.uk> Bryan O'Sullivan <b...@serpentine.com>
