[Andrew Lelechenko]

On behalf of maintainers I'm happy to announce that bytestring-0.11.2.0 (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring-0.11.2.0) is finally released.

Highlights from the changelog (https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/blob/0.11.2.0/Changelog.md):

* New functions:
   * ultra-fast SIMD-based `isValidUtf8` validator,
   * `foldr'`, `foldr1'`, `scanl1`, `scanr`, `scanr1`, `takeEnd`, `dropEnd`, `takeWhileEnd`, `dropWhileEnd`, `spanEnd`, `breakEnd` for lazy `ByteString`,
   * `writeFile` to dump `Builder` directly,
   * `fromFilePath` and `toFilePath` for locale-aware conversions.
* Performance improvements:
   * speed up `floatDec` and `doubleDec` up to 10x using Ryu algorithm,
   * new SIMD-based `count` is up to 5x faster,
   * improve inlining of `foldl`, `foldl'`, `foldr`, `foldr'`, `mapAccumL`, `mapAccumR`, `scanl`, `scanr` and `filter`,
   * faster internal loop in `unfoldrN`,
   * use a static lookup table for Base16 `Builder`s.
