Replying to [comment:6 seraphime]:
However, I couldn't find any indications about the release dates of versions before 2.01. Should the annotation specify something like "<= 2.01" or there is some way to find out their respective release dates ?
I'm not sure, but to be perfectly honest, I don't think anyone actually uses `base <= 2.01`, so I'd be OK with simply not giving `@since` annotations to things that are that old.
For instances I cannot check in the link you gave, can I trust the logs ?
The `base-orphans` link is merely a suggestion. If your script works well for you, by all means feel free to use that exclusively. But if you do need another cross-reference, `base-orphans` is regularly tested against multiple GHC versions, so it should be pretty accurate. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11767#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
