Perhaps we could show darcs change logs on hackage. For this we need a repository field in the .cabal file.
Yes, darcs changelog is a start, but it doesn't provide the kind of summary people usually want. Some people write summary changelogs though not many. One fully automatic thing would be a package differ, that looks at all api changes between versions of a package, or if they're only code changes then notes which functions changed. It's not full detail but it'd give package users an indication of whether it's a big api change or only a tweak in one data file. We'll need a package api diff program to help enforce the package versioning policy. Duncan
