#11767: Add @since annotations for base instances -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: seraphime Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Core Libraries | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #11768 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by seraphime): I have already written a script that seeks out the first commit in the git history where the instance appears, compares its timestamp to stamps which correspond to version bumps ( I found those by reading the commit history ). Comparison in the script is done on a single file, so files containing the same instance declaration will not disturb each other. 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 ? For instances I cannot check in the link you gave, can I trust the logs ? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11767#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
