Hi Mikhail,
[It's currently impossible] to tell that a package has been updated ("edited") just by looking at its version number.
There is a 'x-hackage-revision' field in the .cabal file which gets updated each time the package description is edited. May be useful for generating distribution packages, e.g. you could have foo-1.0, foo-1.0-rev1, foo-1.0-rev2, etc.
so why doesn't Hackage provide these useful version numbers for its users? Best regards, Peter
