33 * Create store incoming directory
34 ([#4130](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4130))
35 * `fetchRepoTarball` output is not marked
36 ([#6385](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6385))
37 * Update `setupMinCabalVersionConstraint` for GHC-8.8
38 ([#6217](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6217))
39 * Implement `cabal install --ignore-project`
40 ([#5919](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5919))
41 * `cabal install executable` solver isn't affected by default
42 environment contents
43 ([#6410](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6410))
44 * Use `lukko` for file locking
45 ([#6345](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6345))
46 * Use `hackage-security-0.6`
47 ([#6388](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6388))

50 3.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2019
51 * `v2-haddock` fails on `haddock` failures (#5977)
52 * `v2-run` works when given `File.lhs` literate file. (#6134)
53 * Parse comma-separated lists for extra-prog-path, extra-lib-dirs, extra-framework-dirs,
54 and extra-include-dirs as actual lists. (#5420)
55 * `v2-repl` no longer changes directory to a randomized temporary folder
56 when used outside of a project. (#5544)
57 * `install-method` and `overwrite-policy` in `.cabal/config` now actually work. (#5942)
58 * `v2-install` now reports the error when a package fails to build. (#5641)
59 * `v2-install` now has a default when called in a project (#5978, #6014, #6092)
60 * '--write-ghc-environment-files' now defaults to 'never' (#4242)
61 * Fix `sdist`'s output when sent to stdout. (#5874)
62 * Allow a list of dependencies to be provided for `repl --build-depends`. (#5845)
63 * Legacy commands are now only accessible with the `v1-` prefixes, and the `v2-`
64 commands are the new default. Accordingly, the next version of Cabal will be
65 the start of the 3.x version series. (#5800)
66 * New solver flag: '--reject-unconstrained-dependencies'. (#2568)
67 * Ported old-style test options to the new-style commands (#5455).
68 * Improved error messages for cabal file parse errors. (#5710)
69 * Removed support for `.zip` format source distributions (#5755)
70 * Add "simple project" initialization option. (#5707)
71 * Add '--minimize-conflict-set' flag to try to improve the solver's
72 error message, but with an increase in run time. (#5647)
73 * v2-test now succeeds when there are no test suites. (#5435)
74 * Add '--lib', '--exe', and '--libandexe' shorthands to init. (#5759)
75 * init now generates valid `Main.lhs` files. (#5577)
76 * Init improvements: add flag '--application-dir', and when creating
77 a library also create a MyLib.hs module. (#5740)
78 * Add support for generating test-suite via cabal init. (#5761)
79 * Increase `max-backjumps` default from 2000 to 4000.
80 * Make v2-install/new-install-specific flags configurable in
81 ~/.cabal/config
82 * Add --installdir and --install-method=copy flags to v2-install
83 that make it possible to copy the executable instead of symlinking it
84 * --symlink-bindir no longer controls the symlinking directory of
85 v2-install (installdir controls both symlinking and copying now)
86 * Default to non-interactive init.
87 * Add --test-wrapper that allows a prebuild script to set the test environment.
88 * Add filterTestFlags: filter test-wrapper for Cabal < 3.0.0.
89 * Cabal now only builds the minimum of a package for `v2-install` (#5754, #6091)
91 2.4.1.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> November 2018
92 * Add message to alert user to potential package casing errors. (#5635)
93 * new-clean no longer deletes dist-newstyle/src with `-s`. (#5699)
94 * 'new-install' now warns when failing to symlink an exe (#5602)
95 * Extend 'cabal init' support for 'cabal-version' selection (#5567)
96 * 'new-sdist' now generates tarballs with file modification
97 times from a date in 2001. Using the Unix epoch caused
98 problems on Windows. (#5596)
99 * Register monolithic packages installed into the store due to a
100 build-tool dependency if they also happen to contain a buildable
101 public lib. (#5379,#5604)
102 * Fixed a Windows bug where cabal-install tried to copy files
103 after moving them (#5631).
104 * 'cabal v2-repl' now works for indefinite (in the Backpack sense) components. (#5619)
105 * Set data dir environment variable for tarballs and remote repos (#5469)
106 * Fix monolithic inplace build tool PATH (#5633)
107 * 'cabal init' now supports '-w'/'--with-compiler' flag (#4936, #5654)
108 * Fix ambiguous --builddir on new-install (#5652)
109 * Allow relative --storedir (#5662)
110 * Respect --dry on new-install (#5671)
111 * Warn when new-installing zero exes (#5666)
112 * Add 'pkg-cabal-sha256' field to plan.json (#5695)
113 * New v2-build flag: '--only-configure'. (#5578)
114 * Fixed a 'new-install' failure that manifested when it
115 encountered remote source dependencies in a project. (#5643)
116 * New 'v2-[build,configure' flag: '--write-ghc-environment-files'
117 to control the generation of .ghc.environment files. (#5711)
119 2.4.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> September 2018
120 * Bugfix: "cabal new-build --ghc-option '--bogus' --ghc-option '-O1'"
121 no longer ignores all arguments except the last one (#5512).
122 * Add the following option aliases for '-dir'-suffixed options:
123 'storedir', 'logsdir', 'packagedir', 'sourcedir', 'outputdir' (#5484).
124 * 'new-run' now allows the user to run scripts that use a special block
125 to define their requirements (as in the executable stanza) in place
126 of a target. This also allows the use of 'cabal' as an interpreter
127 in a shebang line.
128 * Add aliases for the "new-" commands that won't change when they
129 lose their prefix or are eventually replaced by a third UI
130 paradigm in the future. (#5429)
131 * 'outdated' now accepts '--project-file FILE', which will look for bounds
132 from the new-style freeze file named FILE.freeze. This is only
133 available when `--new-freeze-file` has been passed.
134 * 'new-repl' now accepts a '--build-depends' flag which accepts the
135 same syntax as is used in .cabal files to add additional dependencies
136 to the environment when developing in the REPL. It is now usable outside
137 of projects. (#5425, #5454)
138 * 'new-build' now treats Haddock errors non-fatally. In addition,
139 it attempts to avoid trying to generate Haddocks when there is
140 nothing to generate them from. (#5232, #5459)
141 * 'new-run', 'new-test', and 'new-bench' now will attempt to resolve
142 ambiguous selectors by filtering out selectors that would be invalid.
143 (#4679, #5461)
144 * 'new-install' now supports installing libraries and local
145 components. (#5399)
146 * Drop support for GHC 7.4, since it is out of our support window
147 (and has been for over a year!).
148 * 'new-update' now works outside of projects. (#5096)
149 * Extend `plan.json` with `pkg-src` provenance information. (#5487)
150 * Add 'new-sdist' command (#5389). Creates stable archives based on
151 cabal projects in '.zip' and '.tar.gz' formats.
152 * Add '--repl-options' flag to 'cabal repl' and 'cabal new-repl'
153 commands. Passes its arguments to the invoked repl, bypassing the
154 new-build's cached configurations. This assures they don't trigger
155 useless rebuilds and are always applied within the repl. (#4247, #5287)
156 * Add 'v1-' prefixes for the commands that will be replaced in the
157 new-build universe, in preparation for it becoming the default.
158 (#5358)
159 * 'outdated' accepts '--v1-freeze-file' and '--v2-freeze-file'
160 in the same spirit.
161 * Completed the 'new-clean' command (#5357). The functionality is
162 equivalent to old-style clean, but for nix-style builds.
163 * Ensure that each package selected for a build-depends dependency
164 contains a library (#5304).
165 * Support packages from local tarballs in the cabal.project file.
166 * Default changelog generated by 'cabal init' is now named
167 'CHANGELOG.md' (#5441).
168 * Align output of 'new-build' command phases (#4040).
169 * Add suport for specifying remote VCS dependencies via new
170 'source-repository-package' stanzas in 'cabal.project' files
171 (#5351).
173 2.2.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> March 2018
174 * '--with-PROG' and '--PROG-options' are applied to all packages
175 and not local packages only (#5019).
176 * Completed the 'new-update' command (#4809), which respects nix-style
177 cabal.project(.local) files and allows to update from
178 multiple repositories when using overlays.
179 * Completed the 'new-run' command (#4477). The functionality is the
180 same of the old 'run' command but using nix-style builds.
181 Additionally, it can run executables across packages in a project.
182 Tests and benchmarks are also treated as executables, providing a
183 quick way to pass them arguments.
184 * Completed the 'new-bench' command (#3638). Same as above.
185 * Completed the 'new-exec' command (#3638). Same as above.
186 * Added a preliminary 'new-install' command (#4558, nonlocal exes
187 part) which allows to quickly install executables from Hackage.
188 * Set symlink-bindir (used by new-install) to .cabal/bin by default on
189 .cabal/config initialization (#5188).
190 * 'cabal update' now supports '--index-state' which can be used to
191 roll back the index to an earlier state.
192 * '--allow-{newer,older}' syntax has been enhanced. Dependency
193 relaxation can be now limited to a specific release of a package,
194 plus there's a new syntax for relaxing only caret-style (i.e. '^>=')
195 dependencies (#4575, #4669).
196 * New config file field: 'cxx-options' to specify which options to be
197 passed to the compiler when compiling C++ sources specified by the
198 'cxx-sources' field. (#3700)
199 * New config file field: 'cxx-sources' to specify C++ files to be
200 compiled separately from C source files. Useful in conjunction with the
201 'cxx-options' flag to pass different compiler options to C and C++
202 source files. (#3700)
203 * Use [lfxtb] letters to differentiate component kind instead of
204 opaque "c" in dist-dir layout.
205 * 'cabal configure' now supports '--enable-static', which can be
206 used to build static libaries with GHC via GHC's `-staticlib`
207 flag.
208 * 'cabal user-config now supports '--augment' which can append
209 additional lines to a new or updated cabal config file.
210 * Added support for '--enable-tests' and '--enable-benchmarks' to
211 'cabal fetch' (#4948).
212 * Misspelled package-names on CLI will no longer be silently
213 case-corrected (#4778).
214 * 'cabal new-configure' now backs up the old 'cabal.project.local'
215 file if it exists (#4460).
216 * On macOS, `new-build` will now place dynamic libraries into
217 `store/lib` and aggressively shorten their names in an effort to
218 stay within the load command size limits of macOSs mach-o linker.
219 * 'new-build' now checks for the existence of executables for
220 build-tools and build-tool-depends dependencies in the solver
221 (#4884).
222 * Fixed a spurious warning telling the user to run 'cabal update'
223 when it wasn't necessary (#4444).
224 * Packages installed in sandboxes via 'add-source' now have
225 their timestamps updated correctly and so will not be reinstalled
226 unncecessarily if the main install command fails (#1375).
227 * Add Windows device path support for copyFile, renameFile. Allows cabal
228 new-build to use temporary store path of up to 32k length
229 (#3972, #4914, #4515).
230 * When a flag value is specified multiple times on the command
231 line, the last one is now preferred, so e.g. '-f+dev -f-dev' is
232 now equivalent to '-f-dev' (#4452).
233 * Removed support for building cabal-install with GHC < 7.10 (#4870).
234 * New 'package *' section in 'cabal.project' files that applies
235 options to all packages, not just those local to the project.
236 * Paths_ autogen modules now compile when `RebindableSyntax` or
237 `OverloadedStrings` is used in `default-extensions`.
238 [stack#3789](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3789)
239 * getDataDir` and other `Paths_autogen` functions now work correctly
240 when compiling a custom `Setup.hs` script using `new-build` (#5164).
242 2.0.0.1 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2017
243 * Support for GHC's numeric -g debug levels (#4673).
244 * Demoted 'scope' field version check to a warning (#4714).
245 * Fixed verbosity flags getting removed before being passed to
246 'printPlan' (#4724).
247 * Added a '--store-dir' option that can be used to configure the
248 location of the build global build store (#4623).
249 * Turned `allow-{newer,older}` in `cabal.project` files into an
250 accumulating field to match CLI flag semantics (#4679).
251 * Improve success message when `cabal upload`ing documentation
252 (#4777).
253 * Documentation fixes.
255 2.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2017
256 * See http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2017-09-09-Cabal-2-0.html
257 for more detailed release notes.
258 * Removed the '--root-cmd' parameter of the 'install' command
259 (#3356).
260 * Deprecated 'cabal install --global' (#3356).
261 * Changed 'cabal upload' to upload a package candidate by default
262 (#3419). Same applies to uploading documentation.
263 * Added a new 'cabal upload' flag '--publish' for publishing a
264 package on Hackage instead of uploading a candidate (#3419).
265 * Added optional solver output visualisation support via the
266 tracetree package. Mainly intended for debugging (#3410).
267 * Removed the '--check' option from 'cabal upload'
268 (#1823). It was replaced by package candidates.
269 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
270 (#3429).
271 * The bootstrap script now works correctly when run from a Git
272 clone (#3439).
273 * Removed the top-down solver (#3598).
274 * The '-v/--verbosity' option no longer affects GHC verbosity
275 (except in the case of '-v0'). Use '--ghc-options=-v' to enable
276 verbose GHC output (#3540, #3671).
277 * Changed the default logfile template from
278 '.../$pkgid.log' to '.../$compiler/$libname.log' (#3807).
279 * Added a new command, 'cabal reconfigure', which re-runs 'configure'
280 with the most recently used flags (#2214).
281 * Added the '--index-state' flag for requesting a specific
282 version of the package index (#3893, #4115).
283 * Support for building Backpack packages. See
284 https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpack.rst
285 for more details.
286 * Support the Nix package manager (#3651).
287 * Made the 'template-haskell' package non-upgradable again (#4185).
288 * Fixed password echoing on MinTTY (#4128).
289 * Added a new solver flag, '--allow-boot-library-installs', that allows
290 any package to be installed or upgraded (#4209).
291 * New 'cabal-install' command: 'outdated', for listing outdated
292 version bounds in a .cabal file or a freeze file (#4207).
293 * Added qualified constraints for setup dependencies. For example,
294 --constraint="setup.bar == 1.0" constrains all setup dependencies on
295 bar, and --constraint="foo:setup.bar == 1.0" constrains foo's setup
296 dependency on bar (part of #3502).
297 * Non-qualified constraints, such as --constraint="bar == 1.0", now
298 only apply to top-level dependencies. They don't constrain setup or
299 build-tool dependencies. The new syntax --constraint="any.bar == 1.0"
300 constrains all uses of bar.
301 * Added a technical preview version of the 'cabal doctest' command
302 (#4480).
304 1.24.0.2 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2016
305 * Adapted to the revert of a PVP-noncompliant API change in
306 Cabal 1.24.2.0 (#4123).
307 * Bumped the directory upper bound to < 1.4 (#4158).
309 1.24.0.1 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> October 2016
310 * Fixed issue with passing '--enable-profiling' when invoking
311 Setup scripts built with older versions of Cabal (#3873).
312 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
313 (#3429).
314 * Updated to depend on the latest hackage-security that fixes
315 various issues on Windows.
316 * Fixed 'new-build' to exit with a non-zero exit code on failure
317 (#3506).
318 * Store secure repo index data as 01-index.* (#3862).
319 * Added new hackage-security root keys for distribution with
320 cabal-install.
321 * Fix an issue where 'cabal install' sometimes had to be run twice
322 for packages with build-type: Custom and a custom-setup stanza
323 (#3723).
324 * 'cabal sdist' no longer ignores '--builddir' when the package's
325 build-type is Custom (#3794).
327 1.24.0.0 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> March 2016
328 * If there are multiple remote repos, 'cabal update' now updates
329 them in parallel (#2503).
330 * New 'cabal upload' option '-P'/'--password-command' for reading
331 Hackage password from arbitrary program output (#2506).
332 * Better warning for 'cabal run' (#2510).
333 * 'cabal init' now warns if the chosen package name is already
334 registered in the source package index (#2436).
335 * New 'cabal install' option: '--offline' (#2578).
336 * Accept 'builddir' field in cabal.config (#2484)
337 * Read 'builddir' option from 'CABAL_BUILDDIR' environment variable.
338 * Remote repos may now be configured to use https URLs. This uses
339 either curl or wget or, on Windows, PowerShell, under the hood (#2687).
340 * Install target URLs can now use https e.g. 'cabal install
341 https://example.com/foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
342 * Automatically use https for cabal upload for the main
343 hackage.haskell.org (other repos will use whatever they are
344 configured to use).
345 * Support for dependencies of custom Setup.hs scripts
346 (see http://www.well-typed.com/blog/2015/07/cabal-setup-deps/).
347 * 'cabal' program itself now can be used as an external setup
348 method. This fixes an issue when Cabal version mismatch caused
349 unnecessary reconfigures (#2633).
350 * Improved error message for unsatisfiable package constraints
351 (#2727).
352 * Fixed a space leak in 'cabal update' (#2826).
353 * 'cabal exec' and 'sandbox hc-pkg' now use the configured
354 compiler (#2859).
355 * New 'cabal haddock' option: '--for-hackage' (#2852).
356 * Added a warning when the solver cannot find a dependency (#2853).
357 * New 'cabal upload' option: '--doc': upload documentation to
358 hackage (#2890).
359 * Improved error handling for 'sandbox delete-source' (#2943).
360 * Solver support for extension and language flavours (#2873).
361 * Support for secure repos using hackage-security (#2983).
362 * Added a log file message similar to one printed by 'make' when
363 building in another directory (#2642).
364 * Added new subcommand 'init' to 'cabal user-config'. This
365 subcommand creates a cabal configuration file in either the
366 default location or as specified by --config-file (#2553).
367 * The man page for 'cabal-install' is now automatically generated
368 (#2877).
369 * The '--allow-newer' option now works as expected when specified
370 multiple times (#2588).
371 * New config file field: 'extra-framework-dirs' (extra locations
372 to find OS X frameworks in). Can be also specified as an argument
373 for 'install' and 'configure' commands (#3158).
374 * It's now possible to limit the scope of '--allow-newer' to
375 single packages in the install plan (#2756).
376 * Full '--allow-newer' syntax is now supported in the config file
377 (that is, 'allow-newer: base, ghc-prim, some-package:vector')
378 (#3171).
379 * Improved performance of '--reorder-goals' (#3208).
380 * Fixed space leaks in modular solver (#2916, #2914).
381 * Made the solver aware of pkg-config constraints (#3023).
382 * Added a new command: 'gen-bounds' (#3223). See
383 http://softwaresimply.blogspot.se/2015/08/cabal-gen-bounds-easy-generation-of.html.
384 * Tech preview of new nix-style isolated project-based builds.
385 Currently provides the commands (new-)build/repl/configure.
