# Revision history for small-bytearray-builder

## 0.3.0.0 -- 2019-10-17

* Breaking change: Change the internal implementation of `Builder`. This
  now works a lot more like the builder from `bytestring`. It accumulates
  chunks and can do a zero-copy appends when working with a sufficiently
  large immutable chunk. This introduces a mild performance regression
  (around 10%), but it makes the libary more generally useful.
* Introduce `consLengthBE32` and `consLength64BE` for efficient serialization
  of wire protocols that require prefixing a payload with its length.
* Add `int{16,32,64}BE` and `int{16,32,64LE}` as conveniences.
* Add little-endian encoding functions for `Word16`, `Word32`, and `Word64`.
* Add big-endian and little-endian functions for copying a
  `PrimArray` of numbers (both signed and unsigned) into a builder.
* Add `flush`, `copy`, and `insert` for better control when
  converting byte sequences to builders.
* Add `shortByteString` to improve interoperability with the
  `bytestring` library. 

## 0.2.1.0 -- 2019-09-05

* Stop exporting data constructor in `Data.ByteArray.Builder`.
  This is technically a breaking change, but it was only
  exported by accident. So, with this release, we will technically
  violate PVP, and the previous release will be deprecated on hackage.
* Add more functions for encoding unsigned words: `word16PaddedLowerHex`,
  `word16LowerHex`, `word16UpperHex`, `word8LowerHex`.
* Unroll loop for `word8Dec`.

## 0.2.0.0 -- 2019-09-04

* Use `natural-arithmetic` to make manipulation of bounds possible.
* Add more functions for encoding numbers. This includes
  `word8/16/32/64` and `int8/16/32/64`.
* Rename the modules.
* Correct a serious error in the implementation of `bytes`.
* Make `pasteGrowST` accept an initial offset.
* Add a `pasteGrowST` for length-indexed builders.
* Add function for rendering floating-point numbers in a slightly
  inaccurate way.
* Add functions for encoding `ShortText` as UTF-8 and as a JSON string.

## 0.1.1.0 -- 2019-07-30

* Add several additional functions for encoding numbers.

## 0.1.0.0 -- 2019-06-25

* First version
