The changelog for base that is included in the GHC release notes is not kept up to date with base changelog
The GHC release notes include a section for the base
library, but it only includes a fraction of the changes mentioned in the changelog for base
. This is potentially rather confusing, as pointed out in #23324 (closed).
I think the release notes should be much clearer about what the base
section covers (to avoid misleading readers into thinking it is exhaustive), and possibly link to the base
changelog instead of duplicating items to avoid any potential for things going out of sync.
