There is a new release of Haddock, version 0.6.

Are interface files binary-incompatible with those of previous releases?

With a Cygwin-compiled 0.6, I get an error:

Fail: end of file Action: Data.Binary.getWord8

Yes, they're binary incompatible I'm afraid.

And BTW, why it is necessary to write --read-interface=path,full-filename, i.e., why

--read-interface=c:\ghc\doc\html\haskell98,c:\ghc\doc\html\has kell98.haddock

The path is the path to the HTML files, and the filename is the name of the .haddock file. They can be completely different, e.g. --read-interface=http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/base,/usr/local/share/ghc-6.0.1/... Cheers, Simon
