ANNOUNCE: cereal-0.3.3.0

[Trevor Elliott-3]

Hot on the heels of the last release, cereal-0.3.3.0 [1] adds support
for parsing and rendering lazy ByteStrings.  Most running functions in
Data.Serialize.Get and Data.Serialize.Put now have lazy analogues, and
Data.Serialize has gained encodeLazy and decodeLazy.

This new functionality was made possible by the incremental parsing
support added in cereal-0.3.1.0 by Lemmih.

Hi,

For lazy ByteStrings, what would be the reason to prefer cereal or binary now?

Thanks,
Thu

You might still prefer to use binary if your goal is to stream parsed
data.  Using cereal, this takes a bit more work.
