Someone also needs to edit the Hackage package information for the 1.0.1.3 release and set the lower bound for the base dependency to 4.6.

It may be after ICFP before I get a chance to push that up to hackage, but it is now officially on my TODO list.

No problem, it's not urgent.

Can we please get this on Hackage or alternatively sort out #14. Currently it's not possible to generate pseudorandomness in a controlled/reproducible manner that works with GHC < 7.6.* without putting an upper bound on random.

Putting an upper bound on random, say random < 1.0.1.3 would work, but is not an option for me.
