[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: utf8-string-0.1

[Eric Mertens]

Hello,

I'd like to announce that I have posted a UTF-8 encoding/decoding
library to hackage. This library also includes replacements for most
of the System.IO namespace under System.IO.UTF8. This library detects
overlong sequences, and replaces invalid code-points and invalid
encodings with the replacement character '\xfffd'.

The following file was used to ensure that the decoder was considered "safe":
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-test.txt

utf8-string can be found on hackage:
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/utf8-string-0.1

source code is available via:
darcs get http://code.haskell.org/utf8-string/
