Comment (by goldfire):

 Thanks, @rasen, for taking this on!

 It might also be helpful in your work to note major changes made to
 extensions, such as the fact that 7.8's `TypeFamilies` includes closed
 type families, while previously the extension worked only for open ones.
 (There was actually some debate at the time about whether we should create
 a new extension.) Tracking these changes may be challenging, though --
 don't let this request hold you up from getting a baseline "since x.x.x"
 working.
