Releasing extralibs

[Duncan Coutts]

All,

Don and I have looked through the "extralibs" set that came with
ghc-6.8.3 and the set that will be associated with 6.10.1. I've attached
a csv spreadsheet with the summary.

For each package we looked at the difference between the last released
version (whether that was in the 6.8.3 extralibs tarball or on hackage)
and determined the extent of the changes. We assessed the changes
against the package version policy to work out the new version (if
necessary).

These are the actions we need to take:

      * HUnit:		bump version from 1.2.0.0 to 1.2.0.1 and release
      * QuickCheck:	release 1.2.0.0
      * haskell-src:	bump version from 1.0.1.2 to 1.0.1.3 and release
      * html:		bump version from 1.0.1.1 to 1.0.1.2 and release
      * mtl:		bump version from 1.1.0.1 to 1.1.0.2 and release
      * network:	bump version from 2.2.0.0 to 2.2.0.1 and release
      * parsec:		nothing to do - no changes
      * parallel:	nothing to do - no changes
      * regex-base:	bump version from 0.72.0.1 to 0.72.0.2 and release
      * regex-compat:	nothing to do - no changes
      * regex-posix:	bump version from 0.72.0.2 to 0.72.0.3 and release
      * stm:		bump version from 2.1.1.1 to 2.1.2.0 and release
      * time:		bump version from 1.1.2.1 to 1.1.2.2 and release
      * xhtml:		nothing to do - no changes

By release we mean release on hackage. There's no need to wait until
6.10.1 is released to do this. Indeed we can get better testing done if
we release now.
