 Okay. But, then how can I document that these new functions are not in 
Win32-1.0? I would like to say, for example "Introduced in version 1.1" in 
the documentation. That is what made me think that the version number needs 
to be bumped (only) during the first API change after a release.

Note that the graphics part of the Win32 package fails under GHC.

 Do you know why? I noticed that when I build Win32 using Cabal, 
genericWndProc and DeleteObject do not get linked correctly. I think it is a 
problem with "dynamic" imports. But, I don't know if it is related to the 
problem you are talking about.
