This is the bytestring builder that is debuting in bytestring-0.10.4.0, which
|
|
should be shipping with GHC 7.8, probably late in 2013. This builder has
|
|
several nice simplifications and improvements, and more out-of-box
|
|
functionality than the older blaze-builder.
|
|
|
|
Note that this package detects which version of bytestring you are compiling
|
|
against, and if you are compiling against bytestring-0.10.4 or later, will
|
|
be an empty package.
|
|
|
|
This package lets the new interface and implementation be used with most
|
|
older compilers without upgrading bytestring, which can be rather
|
|
problematic. In conjunction with blaze-builder-0.4 or later, which
|
|
offers an implementation of blaze-builder in terms of bytestring-builder,
|
|
this should let most people try the new interface and implementation without
|
|
causing undue compatibility problems with packages that depend on
|
|
blaze-builder.
|
|
|
|
GHC 7.6 did debut an almost identical interface and implementation, but with
|
|
slightly different module names and organization. Trying to re-export/rename
|
|
the builder provided with 7.6 did not turn out to be very practical, because
|
|
this interface includes new functions that rely on Builder internals,
|
|
which are not exported in 7.6. Furthermore, these module names should be
|
|
deprecated in 7.10.
