-- bytestring-lexing 0.4.3
--------------------------------------------
The bytestring-lexing package offers efficient reading and packing of
common types like Double and Integral types.
--------------------------------------------
-- Changes (since 0.4.2)
--------------------------------------------
* Fixed a segfault bug in packDecimal.
Due to the optimizations introduced in 0.4.2, packDecimal could segfault
when passed a value larger than (maxBound::Word64). This patch corrects
the oversight, and is a recommended upgrade for all users.
Unfortunately, the safety test results in a 1.19x slowdown over version
0.4.2; reducing the 1.28x speedup for 0.4.0-->0.4.2 to a mere 1.08x for
0.4.0-->0.4.3. Future versions will probably introduce a type class to
remove the safety check for types where it must vacuously succeed.
