polyparse change log

Changes in polyparse-1.2

• Bugfix: Text.Parse.parseFloat now accepts ordinary floating point notation, in addition to scientific (exponent) notation.

Changes in polyparse-1.2

• Improves the Text.Parse implementation significantly. Where previously all the parsers for builtin basic datatype (Int,Float,Char) were just thin wrappers over the H'98 Read instances, now they are all proper parsers, therefore they should (a) be faster; (b) give better error messages.
• Reduced the number of implementation variations to choose from. In particular, NoLeak has become the default implementation, and the previous default has been dropped (because it space-leaks).

Changes in polyparse-1.1

• Much improved the laziness of the PolyLazy combinators.
• Addition of a class-based interface to the Poly libraries, to reduce code duplication amongst the variations, and to allow for more experimentation with different implementations.
• Several new experimental implementations of the interface.

Changes in polyparse-1.0

• Version number change from 1.00 to 1.0, for silly cabal/hackage.
• Minor fix to parsing strings in Text.Parse.

Changes in polyparse-1.00

• No changes, but released separately from HaXml

Changes in HaXml-1.16

• New: lazier parsers
  • Text.XML.HaXml.ParseLazy
  • Text.XML.HaXml.Html.ParseLazy
  • Text.ParserCombinators.PolyLazy
  • Text.ParserCombinators.PolyStateLazy

Changes in HaXml-1.15

• New: DrIFT has now been fully updated to produce instances of Text.ParserCombinators.TextParser.Parse.
• New: the parser combinator library Poly has been split into two variations, Poly and PolyState. They have almost the same API, only the latter includes a running state where the former does not.
• The TextParser library (a replacement for the Haskell'98 Read class) has also been improved with more new combinators. Really, these parser combinator experiments do not belong in HaXml, and will eventually be split out into a separate package.
