A couple of points I meant to make here but forgot (I was busy hacking
on this and my other three graph-related packages for over a week now,
and especially this past weekend it cut into my sleeping...):
* Apart from bug-fixes, I don't intend on touching the 5.4 series any
more. That said, I believe that this version is suitable for
replacing 5.4.2.2 in the platform (what's the process on that?).
* After I get my generic graph class sorted out at AusHac this coming
weekend, I intend to make a 5.5.0.0 release which extends the classes
in this new library; this will probably _not_ be suitable for the
platform and is intended to serve as a stepping stone to the
replacement library Thomas Bereknyei and I are working on.
With that last point: Thomas and I are willing to call this new
version/replacement something like "inductive-graphs" if that is the
preference of the community. Does anyone know of a website that would
let us have a survey we can use to determine which option people would
prefer?
how about http://doodle.com?
have fun, keep hacking.

Note that even if we give it a new name (rather than just a new
major version number), we still intend on using the Data.Graph.Inductive
module namespace (as it makes even more sense with the new name), so
there will still be clashes between this new version and fgl.

Before people start panicking, rioting, etc., please check the version
number: this is just a bug-fix release, and not the complete re-write
version which we've been talking about (since we got a little
sidetracked, etc.). As such, the API hasn't changed, and this should
fit right in to packages already using fgl (sorry to all those people
who followed my advice and put "fgl == 5.4.2.2" in the build-depends
fields of their packages' .cabal files, but I didn't expect to make
another 5.4.y release).
The exact change that has been made is to fix a bug pointed out to me by
Tristan Allwood, in that Data.Graph.Inductive.PatriciaTree didn't
support multiple edges (and furthermore this wasn't specified in the
documentation). This has now been rectified. As an indication of what
these changes mean, see this sample call graph produced by my
SourceGraph program; when using PatriciaTree from fgl-5.4.2.2 the lines
were all the same thickness; now there is among other things a loop of
width 32 on getExp and a line of width 7 from getExp to maybeEnt.
