Updated on February 4

[NorfairKing]

Fixed for genvalidity-hspec on hackage and for next release.

[mitchellwrosen]

Fixed for tasty-hspec

[sol]

Upper bounds for hspec are rarely useful or needed.

That said, there may be a backwards incompatible change regarding hooks (bofere, around, etc.) at some point in the future. But if that happens it will be done in a way so that it affects as few users as possible.

In general I advise not to use upper bounds for hspec, but this is even more true if you

• only import Test.Hspec
• don't use hooks

On the other hand if you depend on hspec-core and tinker with all kinds of internals upper bounds might be justified (@mitchellwrosen you do, and you need to modify your code to make it work, your travis is failing right now).

[mitchellwrosen]

Yeah, I saw that. Will fix w/in the next few days assuming the internals haven't changed too much.

[debug-ito]

Fixed for fold-debounce, fold-debounce-conduit, stopwatch, wikicfp-scraper, wild-bind and wild-bind-x11.

OK, I'm gonna drop the upper bounds the next time hspec does major version bump :)

[dhess]

Fixed in hpio-0.8.0.6.
