Web.Encodings replacement

Hi, I have a specific question followed by more general ones... I would like to use the decodeHtml function from Web.Encodings, but cabal reports this package as 'deprecated', so my first question is: is there anything equivalent? A search in Hayoo returns decodeHtmlEntities from Text.XML, but if I load it in ghci: decodeHtmlEntities "abc&aaa" returns ContentEntity "abc&aaa" And not ContentEntity "abc&aaa" or something like that. Is there a direct equivalent, or did I found the right replacement, but I am missing something? The more general questions are: 1) A 'deprecated' package means, from my understanding, that it is abandoned or at least not maintained to compile on the latest Haskell Platform, correct? 2) However, sometimes the package may be deprecated mainly because there are better implementations in other packages, which I would assume is the case here. Is there any easy way to check those 'package evolutions'? Thanks for your help, João
