Yep it's a fair point. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/299 Some packages have a changelog file in them that we could display, though most don't. For those that do have a changelog, how we avoid displaying all of history is a bit tricky. For those that do not, ideally we could derive a changelog by looking at the difference in the API. The latter requires a tool we've not written yet.
