Why doesn't Hackage link to Haddock documentation anymore?
Maybe I'm seeing things but from what I remember packages that used to have links to Haddock documentation in their exported modules list no longer has. It's a super useful feature! What happened to those packages? -- Johan

Documentation generation is still haphazard, but I don't think any have been removed. Often newer versions of packages have been added and either the documentation for the new version hasn't been generated yet or the build fails for some reason. Some new versions fail because they depend on packages that will be included with GHC 6.8, but have not yet been released. An example is binary-0.4, though the docs for the earlier versions are still there.
Will hackage docs use haddock 2.0 any time soon, for libraries that use
language extensions not supported by the older haddock?

David Waern told me today that he's working on a new patch to integrate haddock-2.0 support into Cabal. So when that's done and haddock-2.0 is released then I expect we can use it on hackage. Duncan
good news indeed!
