Currently, the versions are specified in the .cabal file. A script is used to generate the changelog page (diffcabal, iirc). I'll generate a spec page from the .cabal file this week sometime. -- Don P.S. better sent to the haskell-platform@ list _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
