When I look at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haddock, there are multiple versions, 2.12.0 and the 4 versions of 2.13.*, which are all declared to work with ghc == 7.6.*, that is, 5 haddock versions compatible with 3 released versions of GHC 7.6. So while it may be bound to a major version of the GHC API, haddock can obviously have more releases than GHC has releases (otherwise it could just carry GHC's version), and can therefore be updated. _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
