[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Haskell protocol-buffers version 1.5.0

[Chris Kuklewicz]

Hello all,

  I have just uploaded version 1.5.0 of the Haskell version to hackage.
 The links for the three pieces are:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/protocol-buffers
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/protocol-buffers-descriptor
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hprotoc

This catches up to Google's version 2.1.0, as described below:

  * Support for "repeated" fields for primitive type (good arrays!).
    Note that using on an invalid field type will generate an error.
  * NO support yet for the *_FIELD_NUMBER style constants
  * It is now an error to define a default value for a repeated field.
  * Fields can now be marked deprecated (does nothing)
  * The type name resolver will no longer resolve type names to fields.
    Note that this applies to type of normal and extension fields.

A lexer bug was founds and fixed by George van den Driessche, when a
numeric literal in a proto file was followed immediately by a newline
character.

Cheers,
  Chris
