I would think that the API is all the functions/classes/datatypes/instances/etc. exported from the library in combination with their types. > Would it perhaps make sense for at least the Platform to require > packages to have unit tests and to require versions to be bumped > whenever those change (sufficiently)? I don't get this; just because someone changes a unit test (because they thought of a new case, etc.) they should bump the package version even if all the changes were internal and not exported? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
