--- Haddock 2.4.0
+-- Haddock 2.4.2
--------------------------------------------
A new version of Haddock, the Haskell documentation tool, is out.
-This is a later version than the one shipped with GHC 6.10.1, which is version
-2.3.0. That version will not be released on Hackage since it only builds with
-GHC 6.10.1 (by accident, actually).
-
-Besides adding back support for earlier GHC versions, this release contains
-some more fixes and support for HTML frames.
+This is a bug fix release only, and it's the same version that will ship with
+GHC 6.10.2, unless any important problems are discovered before the GHC
+release.
Please use the bug tracker to submit bug reports or feature requests.
