[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: stringsearch 0.3.1, fast searching, splitting and replacing of ByteStrings

[Daniel Fischer]

Changes vs. 0.3.0:
- fixed a space leak in the splitting of lazy ByteStrings

Changes of the 0.3 series vs. 0.2.*:
- improved performance of the searching functions
- new functionality:
  - breaking of ByteStrings at the first occurrence of a substring
  - splitting a ByteString at each occurrence of a substring
  - replacing all occurrences of a substring with another string

Where bytestring provides the same functionality 
(Data.ByteString.breakSubstring, Data.ByteString.findSubstrings), the 
implementations in stringsearch are typically much faster.
By default, stringsearch uses an enhanced Boyer-Moore algorithm to locate a 
pattern, but it also provides other algorithms which may be better in 
special cases (Knuth-Morris-Pratt; DFA).
