[Haskell-cafe] ANN: stm-chans 3.0.0.3

[wren romano]

--------------------------------------------
-- stm-chans 3.0.0.3
--------------------------------------------

The stm-chans package offers a collection of channel types, similar to
Control.Concurrent.STM.{TChan,TQueue} but with additional features.

--------------------------------------------
-- Changes since 3.0.0 (2013-05-29)
--------------------------------------------

Cleaned up the header gunk to compile cleanly under GHC 7.10. No
actual code has been altered.

--------------------------------------------
-- Long description
--------------------------------------------

In particular stm-chans offers the following data types:


* Control.Concurrent.STM.TBChan:  Bounded FIFO channels.

     When the channel is full, writers will block/retry. This ensures
that the writers do not get too far ahead of the readers, which helps to
make sure that memory and cpu resources are used responsibly.


* Control.Concurrent.STM.TMChan:   Closeable FIFO channels.
* Control.Concurrent.STM.TMQueue:  Closeable FIFO queues.

     Like TChan (Maybe a) but with a monotonicity guarantee that once
Nothing is returned all future reads will be Nothing as well.


* Control.Concurrent.STM.TBMChan:  Bounded Closeable FIFO channels.
* Control.Concurrent.STM.TBMQueue: Bounded Closeable FIFO queues.

     Combines the capabilities of TBChan and TMChan.
