#48: utf8 IO support -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: dons | Owner: dons Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 2009.4.0 Component: Platform | Resolution: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Comment (by dons):
Bryan O'Sullivan: I'd rather this wasn't added. It's an acceptable crutch for the short term, but we shouldn't be using String for text manipulation, and bundling utf8-string implicitly blesses that approach. The text library needs a few weeks of polish and some more testing work for QA, but it'll be the right answer well before the end of this year. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/48#comment:1> haskell-platform <http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform> The Haskell Platform: a comprehensive and robust collection of Haskell libraries _______________________________________________ Haskell-platform mailing list Haskell-platform@projects.haskell.org http://projects.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-platform
