[ANN] bytestring-0.11.0.0

[Andrew Lelechenko]

On behalf of the maintainers team I'm happy to announce that bytestring-0.11.0.0 (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring-0.11.0.0) is finally released. It is to be shipped with the upcoming GHC 9.0.

Highlights from the changelog (https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/blob/0.11.0.0/Changelog.md):

* Optimize internal representation of ByteString reducing allocations.
* Rewrite rules for {take,drop}While, any, all, findInd{ex,ices} (an order of magnitude faster in certain cases).
* Faster (up to 5%-30%) implementations of fold{l,r}, scan{l,r}, mapAccum{L,R}, any, all, filter.
* Add indexMaybe and synonym (!?) for safe indexing.
* Re-export Data.ByteString.Lazy.{from,to}Strict from Data.ByteString.
* Remove deprecated modules and functions.

Many people contributed their time and effort to make this release happen. Just to name a few in no particular order, mostly according to `git log`:

* Alexandre Esteves
* Andreas Klebinger
* Andrew Martin
* Ben Gamari
* Cole Miller
* Edward Kmett
* Fintan Halpenny
* Fumiaki Kinoshita
