vector vs uvector

[stefan kersten-2]

hi,

what's the difference between the vector [1] and uvector [2]  
packages? should one of those preferred over the other?

thanks,
<sk>

vector-0.1
[2] http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/ 
uvector-0.1.0.1

To make things even more confusing, there is also:
   http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/storablevector
   http://code.haskell.org/storablevector/

This library was mentioned in Haskell-Cafe in December of 2007 on
Haskell-Cafe and I started to use and extend it by a lazy chunky
structure, an ST interface for in-place update, and an experimental
element-wise lazy but efficient data structure. Now I become aware that
there are parallel efforts. I'm also uncertain where to invest more time.

You should use the most mature and stable package, which is of course,
uvector, being a whole 0.0.0.1 versions past vector.

oops, didn't notice the thread announcing vector. i'll stick with  
uvector then for the time being :)
