[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: enumerator 0.4.8

[John Millikin]

0.4.9 has been uploaded to cabal, with the new operators. Changes are in the 
replied-to post (and also quoted below), plus the new operators proposed by 
Kazu Yamamoto.

Here's the corresponding docs (they have examples!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- | @enum =$ iter = 'joinI' (enum $$ iter)@
--
-- “Wraps” an iteratee /inner/ in an enumeratee /wrapper/.
-- The resulting iteratee will consume /wrapper/’s input type and
-- yield /inner/’s output type.
--
-- Note: if the inner iteratee yields leftover input when it finishes,
-- that extra will be discarded.
--
-- As an example, consider an iteratee that converts a stream of 
UTF8-encoded
-- bytes into a single 'TL.Text':
--
-- > consumeUTF8 :: Monad m => Iteratee ByteString m Text
--
-- It could be written with either 'joinI' or '(=$)':
--
-- > import Data.Enumerator.Text as ET
-- >
-- > consumeUTF8 = joinI (decode utf8 $$ ET.consume)
-- > consumeUTF8 = decode utf8 =$ ET.consume
--
-- Since: 0.4.9

-- | @enum $= enee = 'joinE' enum enee@
--
-- “Wraps” an enumerator /inner/ in an enumeratee /wrapper/.
-- The resulting enumerator will generate /wrapper/’s output type.
--
-- As an example, consider an enumerator that yields line character counts
-- for a text file (e.g. for source code readability checking):
--
-- > enumFileCounts :: FilePath -> Enumerator Int IO b
--
-- It could be written with either 'joinE' or '($=)':
--
-- > import Data.Text as T
-- > import Data.Enumerator.List as EL
-- > import Data.Enumerator.Text as ET
-- >
-- > enumFileCounts path = joinE (enumFile path) (EL.map T.length)
-- > enumFileCounts path = enumFile path $= EL.map T.length
--
-- Since: 0.4.9

Minor release note -- 0.4.9 and 0.4.9.1 are the exact same code; I just 
forgot a @ in one of the new docs and had to re-upload so Hackage would 
haddock properly. There is no difference in behavior.
