3 2.6.0.0 (current development version)
4 * New solver flag: '--reject-unconstrained-dependencies'. (#2568)
6 2.4.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> September 2018
7 * Bugfix: "cabal new-build --ghc-option '--bogus' --ghc-option '-O1'"
8 no longer ignores all arguments except the last one (#5512).
9 * Add the following option aliases for '-dir'-suffixed options:
10 'storedir', 'logsdir', 'packagedir', 'sourcedir', 'outputdir' (#5484).
11 * 'new-run' now allows the user to run scripts that use a special block
12 to define their requirements (as in the executable stanza) in place
13 of a target. This also allows the use of 'cabal' as an interpreter
14 in a shebang line.
15 * Add aliases for the "new-" commands that won't change when they
16 lose their prefix or are eventually replaced by a third UI
17 paradigm in the future. (#5429)
18 * 'outdated' now accepts '--project-file FILE', which will look for bounds
19 from the new-style freeze file named FILE.freeze. This is only
20 available when `--new-freeze-file` has been passed.
21 * 'new-repl' now accepts a '--build-depends' flag which accepts the
22 same syntax as is used in .cabal files to add additional dependencies
23 to the environment when developing in the REPL. It is now usable outside
24 of projects. (#5425, #5454)
25 * 'new-build' now treats Haddock errors non-fatally. In addition,
26 it attempts to avoid trying to generate Haddocks when there is
27 nothing to generate them from. (#5232, #5459)
28 * 'new-run', 'new-test', and 'new-bench' now will attempt to resolve
29 ambiguous selectors by filtering out selectors that would be invalid.
30 (#4679, #5461)
31 * 'new-install' now supports installing libraries and local
32 components. (#5399)
33 * Drop support for GHC 7.4, since it is out of our support window
34 (and has been for over a year!).
35 * 'new-update' now works outside of projects. (#5096)
36 * Extend `plan.json` with `pkg-src` provenance information. (#5487)
37 * Add 'new-sdist' command (#5389). Creates stable archives based on
38 cabal projects in '.zip' and '.tar.gz' formats.
39 * Add '--repl-options' flag to 'cabal repl' and 'cabal new-repl'
40 commands. Passes its arguments to the invoked repl, bypassing the
41 new-build's cached configurations. This assures they don't trigger
42 useless rebuilds and are always applied within the repl. (#4247, #5287)
43 * Add 'v1-' prefixes for the commands that will be replaced in the
44 new-build universe, in preparation for it becoming the default.
45 (#5358)
46 * 'outdated' accepts '--v1-freeze-file' and '--v2-freeze-file'
47 in the same spirit.
48 * Completed the 'new-clean' command (#5357). The functionality is
49 equivalent to old-style clean, but for nix-style builds.
50 * Ensure that each package selected for a build-depends dependency
51 contains a library (#5304).
52 * Support packages from local tarballs in the cabal.project file.
53 * Default changelog generated by 'cabal init' is now named
54 'CHANGELOG.md' (#5441).
55 * Align output of 'new-build' command phases (#4040).
57 2.2.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> March 2018
58 * '--with-PROG' and '--PROG-options' are applied to all packages
59 and not local packages only (#5019).
60 * Completed the 'new-update' command (#4809), which respects nix-style
61 cabal.project(.local) files and allows to update from
62 multiple repositories when using overlays.
63 * Completed the 'new-run' command (#4477). The functionality is the
64 same of the old 'run' command but using nix-style builds.
65 Additionally, it can run executables across packages in a project.
66 Tests and benchmarks are also treated as executables, providing a
67 quick way to pass them arguments.
68 * Completed the 'new-bench' command (#3638). Same as above.
69 * Completed the 'new-exec' command (#3638). Same as above.
70 * Added a preliminary 'new-install' command (#4558, nonlocal exes
71 part) which allows to quickly install executables from Hackage.
72 * Set symlink-bindir (used by new-install) to .cabal/bin by default on
73 .cabal/config initialization (#5188).
74 * 'cabal update' now supports '--index-state' which can be used to
75 roll back the index to an earlier state.
76 * '--allow-{newer,older}' syntax has been enhanced. Dependency
77 relaxation can be now limited to a specific release of a package,
78 plus there's a new syntax for relaxing only caret-style (i.e. '^>=')
79 dependencies (#4575, #4669).
80 * New config file field: 'cxx-options' to specify which options to be
81 passed to the compiler when compiling C++ sources specified by the
82 'cxx-sources' field. (#3700)
83 * New config file field: 'cxx-sources' to specify C++ files to be
84 compiled separately from C source files. Useful in conjunction with the
85 'cxx-options' flag to pass different compiler options to C and C++
86 source files. (#3700)
87 * Use [lfxtb] letters to differentiate component kind instead of
88 opaque "c" in dist-dir layout.
89 * 'cabal configure' now supports '--enable-static', which can be
90 used to build static libaries with GHC via GHC's `-staticlib`
91 flag.
92 * 'cabal user-config now supports '--augment' which can append
93 additional lines to a new or updated cabal config file.
94 * Added support for '--enable-tests' and '--enable-benchmarks' to
95 'cabal fetch' (#4948).
96 * Misspelled package-names on CLI will no longer be silently
97 case-corrected (#4778).
98 * 'cabal new-configure' now backs up the old 'cabal.project.local'
99 file if it exists (#4460).
100 * On macOS, `new-build` will now place dynamic libraries into
101 `store/lib` and aggressively shorten their names in an effort to
102 stay within the load command size limits of macOSs mach-o linker.
103 * 'new-build' now checks for the existence of executables for
104 build-tools and build-tool-depends dependencies in the solver
105 (#4884).
106 * Fixed a spurious warning telling the user to run 'cabal update'
107 when it wasn't necessary (#4444).
108 * Packages installed in sandboxes via 'add-source' now have
109 their timestamps updated correctly and so will not be reinstalled
110 unncecessarily if the main install command fails (#1375).
111 * Add Windows device path support for copyFile, renameFile. Allows cabal
112 new-build to use temporary store path of up to 32k length
113 (#3972, #4914, #4515).
114 * When a flag value is specified multiple times on the command
115 line, the last one is now preferred, so e.g. '-f+dev -f-dev' is
116 now equivalent to '-f-dev' (#4452).
117 * Removed support for building cabal-install with GHC < 7.10 (#4870).
118 * New 'package *' section in 'cabal.project' files that applies
119 options to all packages, not just those local to the project.
120 * Paths_ autogen modules now compile when `RebindableSyntax` or
121 `OverloadedStrings` is used in `default-extensions`.
122 [stack#3789](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3789)
123 * getDataDir` and other `Paths_autogen` functions now work correctly
124 when compiling a custom `Setup.hs` script using `new-build` (#5164).
126 2.0.0.1 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2017
127 * Support for GHC's numeric -g debug levels (#4673).
128 * Demoted 'scope' field version check to a warning (#4714).
129 * Fixed verbosity flags getting removed before being passed to
130 'printPlan' (#4724).
131 * Added a '--store-dir' option that can be used to configure the
132 location of the build global build store (#4623).
133 * Turned `allow-{newer,older}` in `cabal.project` files into an
134 accumulating field to match CLI flag semantics (#4679).
135 * Improve success message when `cabal upload`ing documentation
136 (#4777).
137 * Documentation fixes.
139 2.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2017
140 * See http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2017-09-09-Cabal-2-0.html
141 for more detailed release notes.
142 * Removed the '--root-cmd' parameter of the 'install' command
143 (#3356).
144 * Deprecated 'cabal install --global' (#3356).
145 * Changed 'cabal upload' to upload a package candidate by default
146 (#3419). Same applies to uploading documentation.
147 * Added a new 'cabal upload' flag '--publish' for publishing a
148 package on Hackage instead of uploading a candidate (#3419).
149 * Added optional solver output visualisation support via the
150 tracetree package. Mainly intended for debugging (#3410).
151 * Removed the '--check' option from 'cabal upload'
152 (#1823). It was replaced by package candidates.
153 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
154 (#3429).
155 * The bootstrap script now works correctly when run from a Git
156 clone (#3439).
157 * Removed the top-down solver (#3598).
158 * The '-v/--verbosity' option no longer affects GHC verbosity
159 (except in the case of '-v0'). Use '--ghc-options=-v' to enable
160 verbose GHC output (#3540, #3671).
161 * Changed the default logfile template from
162 '.../$pkgid.log' to '.../$compiler/$libname.log' (#3807).
163 * Added a new command, 'cabal reconfigure', which re-runs 'configure'
164 with the most recently used flags (#2214).
165 * Added the '--index-state' flag for requesting a specific
166 version of the package index (#3893, #4115).
167 * Support for building Backpack packages. See
168 https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpack.rst
169 for more details.
170 * Support the Nix package manager (#3651).
171 * Made the 'template-haskell' package non-upgradable again (#4185).
172 * Fixed password echoing on MinTTY (#4128).
173 * Added a new solver flag, '--allow-boot-library-installs', that allows
174 any package to be installed or upgraded (#4209).
175 * New 'cabal-install' command: 'outdated', for listing outdated
176 version bounds in a .cabal file or a freeze file (#4207).
177 * Added qualified constraints for setup dependencies. For example,
178 --constraint="setup.bar == 1.0" constrains all setup dependencies on
179 bar, and --constraint="foo:setup.bar == 1.0" constrains foo's setup
180 dependency on bar (part of #3502).
181 * Non-qualified constraints, such as --constraint="bar == 1.0", now
182 only apply to top-level dependencies. They don't constrain setup or
183 build-tool dependencies. The new syntax --constraint="any.bar == 1.0"
184 constrains all uses of bar.
185 * Added a technical preview version of the 'cabal doctest' command
186 (#4480).
188 1.24.0.2 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2016
189 * Adapted to the revert of a PVP-noncompliant API change in
190 Cabal 1.24.2.0 (#4123).
191 * Bumped the directory upper bound to < 1.4 (#4158).
193 1.24.0.1 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> October 2016
194 * Fixed issue with passing '--enable-profiling' when invoking
195 Setup scripts built with older versions of Cabal (#3873).

203 * Added new hackage-security root keys for distribution with
204 cabal-install.
205 * Fix an issue where 'cabal install' sometimes had to be run twice
206 for packages with build-type: Custom and a custom-setup stanza
207 (#3723).
208 * 'cabal sdist' no longer ignores '--builddir' when the package's
209 build-type is Custom (#3794).
211 1.24.0.0 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> March 2016
212 * If there are multiple remote repos, 'cabal update' now updates
213 them in parallel (#2503).
214 * New 'cabal upload' option '-P'/'--password-command' for reading
215 Hackage password from arbitrary program output (#2506).
216 * Better warning for 'cabal run' (#2510).

221 * Read 'builddir' option from 'CABAL_BUILDDIR' environment variable.
222 * Remote repos may now be configured to use https URLs. This uses
223 either curl or wget or, on Windows, PowerShell, under the hood (#2687).
224 * Install target URLs can now use https e.g. 'cabal install
225 https://example.com/foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
226 * Automatically use https for cabal upload for the main
227 hackage.haskell.org (other repos will use whatever they are
228 configured to use).
229 * Support for dependencies of custom Setup.hs scripts
230 (see http://www.well-typed.com/blog/2015/07/cabal-setup-deps/).
231 * 'cabal' program itself now can be used as an external setup
232 method. This fixes an issue when Cabal version mismatch caused
233 unnecessary reconfigures (#2633).
234 * Improved error message for unsatisfiable package constraints
235 (#2727).
236 * Fixed a space leak in 'cabal update' (#2826).

243 * Improved error handling for 'sandbox delete-source' (#2943).
244 * Solver support for extension and language flavours (#2873).
245 * Support for secure repos using hackage-security (#2983).
246 * Added a log file message similar to one printed by 'make' when
247 building in another directory (#2642).
248 * Added new subcommand 'init' to 'cabal user-config'. This
249 subcommand creates a cabal configuration file in either the
250 default location or as specified by --config-file (#2553).
251 * The man page for 'cabal-install' is now automatically generated
252 (#2877).
253 * The '--allow-newer' option now works as expected when specified
254 multiple times (#2588).
255 * New config file field: 'extra-framework-dirs' (extra locations
256 to find OS X frameworks in). Can be also specified as an argument
257 for 'install' and 'configure' commands (#3158).
258 * It's now possible to limit the scope of '--allow-newer' to
259 single packages in the install plan (#2756).
260 * Full '--allow-newer' syntax is now supported in the config file
261 (that is, 'allow-newer: base, ghc-prim, some-package:vector')
262 (#3171).
263 * Improved performance of '--reorder-goals' (#3208).
264 * Fixed space leaks in modular solver (#2916, #2914).
265 * Made the solver aware of pkg-config constraints (#3023).
