base-4 also introduced the Control.Category.Category class and

There's

  http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Upgrading_packages

but it's not up-to-date, probably because updating to ghc-6.12
was comparatively painless.

And of course there are the ghc-6.10.1 release notes which also
cover the changes in base-4:
