However, if someone is considering adding new features, I'd encourage them to look at tasty instead. It has a cleaner and smaller code base and is more extensible, but otherwise is very similar in spirit to test-framework.

Why don't you try to make this work as api-compatible with the old test-framework as possible and release it as test-framework-1.0.0.0?

Why would I do that? Tasty is now a separate package, with its own API and its own users. Why would I break it? People who continue to use test-framework are presumably happy with it, so maintenance releases by Bryan or haskell-pkg-janitors should be enough for them. If they ever feel that tasty is better for them, it won't take much effort to switch. Roman
