[Haskell-cafe] Naming convention for version branches (Package versioning)

[Alois Cochard]

Hi Oleg,

I was aware of similar tools thanks to Oliver Charles who pointed me to
that great python tool: http://dzil.org/, seems like semantic-release have
some interesting features as well!

Thanks for the pointers, especially `hackage-diff` that I was not aware of.
It will help me a lot to get an even more automated tool :-)
