Make a release about blaze-builder

[peti]

The lack of support for ghc 8.4.x currently breaks a lot of builds on that compiler. It would be really great to get a new release that fixes this issue.

I (as Hackage Trustee) revised the bounds for 0.3.3.4, 0.4.0.0 0.4.0.1 and 0.4.0.2, e.g. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/blaze-builder-0.4.0.2/revisions/

In fact, there are a few PR's open with such support, plus I see commits for it... Regardless, would be useful to have a released version with the support.

Moreover, if you can't deal with that bytestring lower bound, you can also additionally depend on the bytestring-builder library, which backports the Data.ByteString.Builder interface when older versions of bytestring are used.

I'm considering extracting Blaze.ByteString.Builder.HTTP into a small new package so warp, http-streams and snap-server could remove their dependencies on blaze-builder. Does this sound like a good idea?

@jaspervdj has released v0.4.1.0

[sjakobi]

Bump! :)

It would be great if one of the PRs (e.g. #13 or #11) which make the Semigroup instances unconditionally defined could be merged before the next releases.

Ah, great, NOW I see this, AFTER I submitted a proper bug about it.

Guys, please use some proper titles! ^^

[ndmitchell]

If you look at HEAD you'd see the bug is fixed, so there is actually no work and no bug in HEAD - hence the title just to make a release :)

[hvr]

@ndmitchell well, actually there would be some minor work to be done (merge one of the open PRs), as the current state would result in an conditional API (c.f. #12 (comment))

[sjakobi]

I'd like to point out that it's not hard to use Data.Bytestring.Builder directly instead of blaze-builder, if you can deal with a lower bound on bytestring of >= 0.10.4. See jaspervdj/websockets#170.

BTW, streaming-commons also just removed its dependency on blaze-builder.

Published as bsb-http-chunked.

…so warp, http-streams and snap-server could remove their dependencies on blaze-builder.

I'll submit PRs for these.
