Using ghc-lib-parser-ex
Package ghc-lib-parser-ex is on Hackage e.g. cabal install ghc-lib-parser-ex. Like ghc-lib-parser, there are two release streams within the ghc-lib-parser-ex name.
Versioning policy
Package ghc-lib-parser-ex does not conform to the Haskell Package Versioning Policy. Version numbers are of the form α.β.γ.δ where α.β corresponds to a GHC series and γ.δ are the major and minor parts of the ghc-lib-ex-parser package release. Examples:
- Version 8.10.1.3 is compatible with any
ghc-lib-parser-8.10.*(orghc-8.10.*) package; - Version 0.20190204.2.0 is compatible with
ghc-lib-parser-0.20190204.
The major part γ of the release number indicates an interface breaking change from the previous release. The minor part δ indicates a non-interface breaking change from the previous release.
