- Eliminated dependency on the
errors
package.
- Added support for
base16-bytestring-1.0
.
- The
Base16
andBase64
newtypes are now provided for managing safe conversions between binary data and Base16 and Base64 textual encodings of that data.
- The
ConvertText
typeclass has been split into two simpler functions,convertText
anddecodeConvertText
. This means the vision of a unified function for converting between any two textual datatypes is no longer implemented, but the original attempt had too many problems to really be worth the cost. Specifically, instances likeFromText (Maybe Foo)
would cause problems due to the overlapping instances, which have now been removed.
