It would be nice if Hackage displayed ``recent changes'' of a package. [severity: wishlist]

You see, I am subscribed to the ``hackage - recent additions'' feed [http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/recent.rss] and receive entries that look like this:

Cabal 1.8.0.2 Added by DuncanCoutts, Wed Dec 16 04:19:24 UTC 2009. A framework for packaging Haskell software

This is sweet. But how can I tell what's new in Cabal since 1.6.0.3? (`Cabal' is just an example here.)

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. Duncan
