I agree. I'd like to see a lightweight, standard changelog format for
Haskell packages. That way hackage could type-set it nicely, and cabal
could easily answer "what's new in somepackage-latest compared to the
version I have installed?".

I don't really mind what the format looks like, but the Debian changelog
format seems as reasonable a starting point as any.


Thanks
