Re: Platform policy question: API compatability in minor releases

Sure. But of course there is no problem with making releases on hackage and users who need OpenGL 3.1 in the few months between major HP releases could use cabal to get the latest from Hackage.

I think this raises an interesting question: the newly updated (for example,)opengl package might strive to work with the existing release Haskell Platform, rather than require newer versions of other HP libraries also. Of course, cabal-install will deal with the latter too, it just leads to a few more dependency problems (& stability/testedness problems?). -Isaac
