Remove version bounds on dependencies. #136

Closed evincarofautumn closed 9 years ago

evincarofautumn commented 9 years ago

I'm not entirely certain that there should be bounds at all, since we should just be using the latest of everything in a sandbox, unless a specific package is known to be broken. What do you think, @strager?

Closes #128.

This is a big problem in the Haskell community and hasn't really been solved.

Since you're a small open-source piece of software no one expects to be stable, I think you should be lax on dependencies.

If you are treating your library as "executable only" (i.e. it's just a library so unit tests can test code), then I also think you should be lax on dependencies, since no one will/can depend upon you anyway.
