• Expose ShortByteString constructor from Data.ByteString.Short
• Add compareLength function, which is lazier than comparison of lengths
• Add strict takeEnd and dropEnd
• Expose packZipWith to zip two ByteString
• Add instance Show Builder

0.10.12.1 – January 2021

• Replace withForeignPtr with unsafeWithForeignPtr where appropriate

0.11.0.0 — September 2020

• Change internal representation of ByteString, removing offset
  • The old PS constructor has been turned into a pattern synonym that is available with GHC >= 8.0 for backwards compatibility. Consider adding if !impl(ghc >=8.0) { build-depends: bytestring < 0.11 } to packages, which use PS and still support GHC < 8.0.
• Fill ForeignPtrContents of nullForeignPtr with FinalPtr instead of a bottom
• Remove deprecated functions findSubstring and findSubstrings
• Speed up sorting of short strings
• Improve handling of literal strings in Data.ByteString.Builder
• Compute length at compile time for literal strings
  • This improves optimization opportunities for functions that scrutinize the length of a ByteString.
• Add indexMaybe and synonym (!?) for indexing that returns Maybe
• Add rewrite rules for {take,drop}While ({=,/}= x)
• Add rewrite rules for any (== x) and all (/= x)
• Add rewrite rules for findInd{ex,ices} (== x)
• Improve folds to pass fewer arguments on each recursive invocation
• Improve performance of findIndices
• Re-export Data.ByteString.Lazy.{from,to}Strict from Data.ByteString
• Remove deprecated modules and functions
  • Use Data.ByteString.Builder{,.Extra} instead of Data.ByteString.Lazy.Builder{,.ASCII,.Extras}.
  • Use Data.ByteString.Char8.{,h}putStrLn instead of Data.ByteString.{,h}putStrLn and Data.ByteString.Lazy.Char8.putStrLn instead of Data.ByteString.Char8.putStrLn.
  • Use Data.ByteString.break (== x) instead of Data.ByteString.breakByte x.
  • Use Data.ByteString.Internal.accursedUnutterablePerformIO instead of Data.ByteString.Internal.inlinePerformIO.

0.10.12.0 – August 2020

• Note: There are several breaking changes planned to be included in v0.11. Please ensure that your packages have appropriate upper bounds on bytestring, in order to minimize avoidable breakage.
