Hi.
The Cabal package description includes a property `license-file`.
This property may be used by Hackage to provide a link to the license file.
However I would like to have a `changelog-file`, too.
So that from Hackage I can quickly check what's changed with the new version
of a package.
Is this feasible?
Thanks Manlio Perillo

Thanks Gwern. Yes, we're looking for a volunteer to work on implementing
this.
One question is what the changelog format should be? Or should it just
be uninterpreted text? One suggestion was for Hackage and the RSS feed
to display the diff between the current and previous version of the
changelog. Or perhaps we can do both, diff it and parse the result as
haddock markup or something.
Personally, I find a format like:
http://divmod.org/trac/browser/trunk/Nevow/NEWS.txt
simple, compact and flexible.
GNU Changelog format is probably an overkill, since nowadays we have
good revision control systems.
However GNU Changelog format *may* be supported (perhaps the changelog
format can be specified in a Cabal property).
So suggestions and volunteers welcome.
