one difference is that StateVar’s changelog has CRLF-terminated lines,
while lenses’ does not. This is likely a bug in hackage-server, you
might want to open a issue there.

That's a likely explanation, because I did the 'cabal sdist' on Windows. It's a bit funny that nobody noticed that so far, Windows seems to be highly under-represented for Haskell developers compared to Linux/Mac (I regularly switch). :-/ I've opened https://github.com/haskell/hackage-server/issues/402, I wasn't even aware of that GitHub project.

Also, it is technically off-topic on ghc-dev; haskell-cafe might have
been more suited for this question.

Granted, but to me the distinction between haskell/haskell-cafe/ghc-users/ghc-dev is always a bit blurry and IMHO there are too many fragmented lists, especially given that more and more tools are involved in the Haskell ecosystem, so this will get worse. But that's just my personal view.... :-)
