Hi Henning

I've uploaded a new release to Hackage.

The new version will generate a HTML report when supplied with an
--out= command line flag and print a manageable summary to the
console. Here's the console summary between 0.3.1 and 0.4.0
(unfortunately I can't host the HTML output publicly).

$ precis --out=precis.html precis-0.4.0/precis.cabal precis-0.3.1/precis.cabal
Comparing precis 0.4.0 to precis 0.3.1...
2 exposed modules removed
21 export list items removed
1 datatype removed
13 type signatures removed


Generating a HTML report seems obvious in retrospect, as the previous
version was producing far too much information to be useful. The
reporting in this version could do with some more work improve its
clarity, but I hope 0.4.0 is now a useful tool, rather than a curio
(which 0.3.1 was).

Best wishes

Stephen
