-
- * added substitution %{FILE///c}
-

- is treated as a literal '/'. This removes a common source of
- accidental parse errors in documentation.
-
- * Various bugs were fixed.
-
- * Cabal 1.2 is now required, and Haddock builds with GHC 6.8.x.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Changes in version 0.8:
-
- * Haddock has a Cabal build system, and will build on Windows without
- Cygwin or MSYS. GHC 6.4 or later is required.
-
- * New options: --comments-base, --comments-module, --comments-entity
- for generating links to pages (eg. wiki) for collecting user comments.
-
- * New options: --source-base, --source-module, --source-entity

- name for the source file even if the file is preprocessed.

-
- * New markup <<url>> for including images.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Changes in version 0.7:

- to that module. See the docs ("Hyperlinking and re-exported entities")
- for details.
-
- * New options --ignore-all-exports, --hide
-
- * New option --use-package for creating documentation that hyperlinks to
- the HTML documentation for existing packages on your system. It works
- by querying ghc-pkg for the location of the Haddock interface and
- HTML for the given package.
-
- * Parts of the HTML documentation, notably lists of instances, are
- now "collapsible" with a +/- button. Also, the contents page is now
- in the form of tree in which subtrees can be collapsed.
-
- * Support for Microsoft DevHelp and HtmlHelp 2.0 formats.
-
- * Support for a short description for each module for the contents page.
-
- * Compiles with GHC 6.4+

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Changes in version 0.6:
-
- * Implicit parameters, zip comprehensions and 'mdo' are now
- supported by the parser.
-
- * Some lexical bugs were fixed, mainly concerning literal paragraphs
- next to non-literal paragraphs.
-
- * New options: --gen-index, --use-index, --gen-contents and --use-contents,
- for generting a combined index and contents for several libraries
- from the appropriate .haddock files.
-
- * There is now one index rather than separate Function/Constructor and
- Type/Class indices. Where a name refers to several entities, these
- are listed separately in the index.
-
- * New option: -v, elicits more verbose warnings. Some warnings are
- now turned off by default; Haddock should be a little less noisy
- in general.
-
- * Markup for definition lists has been added. See the documentation
- for details.
-
- * New option: --package for setting the package name. The package
- is listed alongside each module name in the combined contents.
-
- * Entities which are re-exported from another package now at least
- leave a hyperlink in the generated HTML, rather than nothing at all.
-
- * Some fixes for bugs which caused incorrect hyperlinks in the
- generated HTML. In particular, instances should now be linked
- correctly.
-
- * Some aesthetic improvements to the generated HTML.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Changes in version 0.5:
-
- * Compiles with recent versions of GHC.

- * A few bugs have been fixed.
-
- * New labelling/linking feature (see "Anchors" in the manual).
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

-
- * Import declarations which list entities in parentheses, or with
- hiding clauses, are now properly supported. Modulo one or two
- small infelicities, the full Haskell modules system is now supported.
-
- * Haddock is now more flexible about the placing of separators
- (commas, semicolons) in relation to doc comments.
-
- * There is support for generating and reading "interface files"
- which describe the exports of a set of modules. This is useful
- for generating documentation which hyperlinks to
- previously-generated documentation.
-
- * Support for generating the extra files required by the Microsoft
- Help compiler.
-
- * New option: --prologue specifies a file of documentation which is
- placed on the contents page.
-
- * Many bugs fixed
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Changes in version 0.3:
-
- * Documentation on individual function arguments is now implemented
-
- * Links can be made to identifiers that aren't in scope, by using
- the fully qualified name.
-
- * Instances are collected and listed with the appropriate classes
- and datatypes (not for derived instances yet).
-
- * Single quotes are only interpreted specially when they surround a
- legal Haskell identifier, otherwise they are treated literally.
-
- * Bird-tracked text is now literal. If you want marked-up text in
- a code block, use the @...@ notation instead.
-
- * Various changes to the layout, it generally looks nicer now.
-
- * Various bugs fixed.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Changes in version 0.2:
-
- * The [...] markup for typewriter font has been changed to @...@.
-
- * Module attributes introduced (see the documentation for details).
-

-
- * Several bugs fixed, and error messages improved.
