-synopsis:           Extra functions I use.
-description:
-    A library of extra functions for the standard Haskell libraries. Most functions are simple additions, filling out missing functionality. A few functions are available in later versions of GHC, but this package makes them available back to GHC 7.2.
-    .
-    The module "Extra" documents all functions provided by this library. Modules such as "Data.List.Extra" provide extra functions over "Data.List" and also reexport "Data.List". Users are recommended to replace "Data.List" imports with "Data.List.Extra" if they need the extra functionality.

+- Update extra to version 1.8.
+  Upstream has edited the change log file since the last release in
+  a non-trivial way, i.e. they did more than just add a new entry
+  at the top. You can review the file at:
