One difference between 6.8.1 and 6.8.2 that I see is in running "runhaskell Setup.hs haddock" with Haddock 0.8 on Windows XP. Haddock is no longer able to resolve the names from the standard libraries.
Really? I get the opposite. In 6.8.1 the ghc-pkg entries for the haddock files were messed somehow so Cabal would always ignore those packages and not ask haddock to try and generate links to them. From my testing that's fixed in the 6.8.2 snapshots.
Running Haddock for Xyz-0.1... Warning: Xyz: the following names could not be resolved: FilePath Show Eq String Maybe Bool Char Int
Did Cabal earlier give warnings like: The documentation for package base-3.0.0.0 is not installed. No links to it will be generated. That's what I was getting previously. Perhaps you can investigate further and give some more details. Duncan
