[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: SourceGraph-0.6.0.2

[Ivan Lazar Miljenovic]

I've just uploaded a new version that works with haskell-src-exts-1.6.0
(all it needed was to increase the upper bound in the cabal file! \o/).

On another note, anyone know why Niklas Broberg hasn't been making any
release statements recently to say what the changes are, etc. for
haskell-src-exts?

>> * Level-based analyses: visualise how deep an entity is from those
