3.0.1.0 Herbert Valerio Riedel <[email protected]> April 2020
* Create store incoming directory
([#4130](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4130))
* `fetchRepoTarball` output is not marked
([#6385](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6385))
* Update `setupMinCabalVersionConstraint` for GHC-8.8
([#6217](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6217))
* Implement `cabal install --ignore-project`
([#5919](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5919))
* `cabal install executable` solver isn't affected by default
environment contents
([#6410](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6410))
* Use `lukko` for file locking
([#6345](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6345))
* Use `hackage-security-0.6`
([#6388](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6388))
* Other dependency upgrades
3.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <[email protected]> August 2019
* `v2-haddock` fails on `haddock` failures (#5977)
* `v2-run` works when given `File.lhs` literate file. (#6134)
* Parse comma-separated lists for extra-prog-path, extra-lib-dirs, extra-framework-dirs,
and extra-include-dirs as actual lists. (#5420)
* `v2-repl` no longer changes directory to a randomized temporary folder
when used outside of a project. (#5544)
* `install-method` and `overwrite-policy` in `.cabal/config` now actually work. (#5942)
* `v2-install` now reports the error when a package fails to build. (#5641)
* `v2-install` now has a default when called in a project (#5978, #6014, #6092)
* '--write-ghc-environment-files' now defaults to 'never' (#4242)
* Fix `sdist`'s output when sent to stdout. (#5874)
* Allow a list of dependencies to be provided for `repl --build-depends`. (#5845)
* Legacy commands are now only accessible with the `v1-` prefixes, and the `v2-`
commands are the new default. Accordingly, the next version of Cabal will be
the start of the 3.x version series. (#5800)
* New solver flag: '--reject-unconstrained-dependencies'. (#2568)
* Ported old-style test options to the new-style commands (#5455).
* Improved error messages for cabal file parse errors. (#5710)
* Removed support for `.zip` format source distributions (#5755)
* Add "simple project" initialization option. (#5707)
* Add '--minimize-conflict-set' flag to try to improve the solver's
error message, but with an increase in run time. (#5647)
* v2-test now succeeds when there are no test suites. (#5435)
* Add '--lib', '--exe', and '--libandexe' shorthands to init. (#5759)
* init now generates valid `Main.lhs` files. (#5577)
* Init improvements: add flag '--application-dir', and when creating
a library also create a MyLib.hs module. (#5740)
* Add support for generating test-suite via cabal init. (#5761)
* Increase `max-backjumps` default from 2000 to 4000.
* Make v2-install/new-install-specific flags configurable in
~/.cabal/config
* Add --installdir and --install-method=copy flags to v2-install
that make it possible to copy the executable instead of symlinking it
* --symlink-bindir no longer controls the symlinking directory of
v2-install (installdir controls both symlinking and copying now)
* Default to non-interactive init.
* Add --test-wrapper that allows a prebuild script to set the test environment.
* Add filterTestFlags: filter test-wrapper for Cabal < 3.0.0.
* Cabal now only builds the minimum of a package for `v2-install` (#5754, #6091)
2.4.1.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <[email protected]> November 2018
* Add message to alert user to potential package casing errors. (#5635)
* new-clean no longer deletes dist-newstyle/src with `-s`. (#5699)
* 'new-install' now warns when failing to symlink an exe (#5602)
* Extend 'cabal init' support for 'cabal-version' selection (#5567)
* 'new-sdist' now generates tarballs with file modification
times from a date in 2001. Using the Unix epoch caused
problems on Windows. (#5596)
* Register monolithic packages installed into the store due to a
build-tool dependency if they also happen to contain a buildable
public lib. (#5379,#5604)
* Fixed a Windows bug where cabal-install tried to copy files
after moving them (#5631).
* 'cabal v2-repl' now works for indefinite (in the Backpack sense) components. (#5619)
* Set data dir environment variable for tarballs and remote repos (#5469)
* Fix monolithic inplace build tool PATH (#5633)
* 'cabal init' now supports '-w'/'--with-compiler' flag (#4936, #5654)
* Fix ambiguous --builddir on new-install (#5652)
* Allow relative --storedir (#5662)
* Respect --dry on new-install (#5671)
* Warn when new-installing zero exes (#5666)
* Add 'pkg-cabal-sha256' field to plan.json (#5695)
* New v2-build flag: '--only-configure'. (#5578)
* Fixed a 'new-install' failure that manifested when it
encountered remote source dependencies in a project. (#5643)
* New 'v2-[build,configure' flag: '--write-ghc-environment-files'
to control the generation of .ghc.environment files. (#5711)
2.4.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <[email protected]> September 2018
* Bugfix: "cabal new-build --ghc-option '--bogus' --ghc-option '-O1'"
no longer ignores all arguments except the last one (#5512).
* Add the following option aliases for '-dir'-suffixed options:
'storedir', 'logsdir', 'packagedir', 'sourcedir', 'outputdir' (#5484).
* 'new-run' now allows the user to run scripts that use a special block
to define their requirements (as in the executable stanza) in place
of a target. This also allows the use of 'cabal' as an interpreter
in a shebang line.
* Add aliases for the "new-" commands that won't change when they
lose their prefix or are eventually replaced by a third UI
paradigm in the future. (#5429)
* 'outdated' now accepts '--project-file FILE', which will look for bounds
from the new-style freeze file named FILE.freeze. This is only
available when `--new-freeze-file` has been passed.
* 'new-repl' now accepts a '--build-depends' flag which accepts the
same syntax as is used in .cabal files to add additional dependencies
to the environment when developing in the REPL. It is now usable outside
of projects. (#5425, #5454)
* 'new-build' now treats Haddock errors non-fatally. In addition,
it attempts to avoid trying to generate Haddocks when there is
nothing to generate them from. (#5232, #5459)
* 'new-run', 'new-test', and 'new-bench' now will attempt to resolve
ambiguous selectors by filtering out selectors that would be invalid.
(#4679, #5461)
* 'new-install' now supports installing libraries and local
components. (#5399)
* Drop support for GHC 7.4, since it is out of our support window
(and has been for over a year!).
* 'new-update' now works outside of projects. (#5096)
* Extend `plan.json` with `pkg-src` provenance information. (#5487)
* Add 'new-sdist' command (#5389). Creates stable archives based on
cabal projects in '.zip' and '.tar.gz' formats.
* Add '--repl-options' flag to 'cabal repl' and 'cabal new-repl'
commands. Passes its arguments to the invoked repl, bypassing the
new-build's cached configurations. This assures they don't trigger
useless rebuilds and are always applied within the repl. (#4247, #5287)
* Add 'v1-' prefixes for the commands that will be replaced in the
new-build universe, in preparation for it becoming the default.
(#5358)
* 'outdated' accepts '--v1-freeze-file' and '--v2-freeze-file'
in the same spirit.
* Completed the 'new-clean' command (#5357). The functionality is
equivalent to old-style clean, but for nix-style builds.
* Ensure that each package selected for a build-depends dependency
contains a library (#5304).
* Support packages from local tarballs in the cabal.project file.
* Default changelog generated by 'cabal init' is now named
'CHANGELOG.md' (#5441).
* Align output of 'new-build' command phases (#4040).
* Add suport for specifying remote VCS dependencies via new
'source-repository-package' stanzas in 'cabal.project' files
(#5351).
2.2.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <[email protected]> March 2018
* '--with-PROG' and '--PROG-options' are applied to all packages
and not local packages only (#5019).
* Completed the 'new-update' command (#4809), which respects nix-style
cabal.project(.local) files and allows to update from
multiple repositories when using overlays.
* Completed the 'new-run' command (#4477). The functionality is the
same of the old 'run' command but using nix-style builds.
Additionally, it can run executables across packages in a project.
Tests and benchmarks are also treated as executables, providing a
quick way to pass them arguments.
* Completed the 'new-bench' command (#3638). Same as above.
* Completed the 'new-exec' command (#3638). Same as above.
* Added a preliminary 'new-install' command (#4558, nonlocal exes
part) which allows to quickly install executables from Hackage.
* Set symlink-bindir (used by new-install) to .cabal/bin by default on
.cabal/config initialization (#5188).
* 'cabal update' now supports '--index-state' which can be used to
roll back the index to an earlier state.
* '--allow-{newer,older}' syntax has been enhanced. Dependency
relaxation can be now limited to a specific release of a package,
plus there's a new syntax for relaxing only caret-style (i.e. '^>=')
dependencies (#4575, #4669).
* New config file field: 'cxx-options' to specify which options to be
passed to the compiler when compiling C++ sources specified by the
'cxx-sources' field. (#3700)
* New config file field: 'cxx-sources' to specify C++ files to be
compiled separately from C source files. Useful in conjunction with the
'cxx-options' flag to pass different compiler options to C and C++
source files. (#3700)
* Use [lfxtb] letters to differentiate component kind instead of
opaque "c" in dist-dir layout.
* 'cabal configure' now supports '--enable-static', which can be
used to build static libaries with GHC via GHC's `-staticlib`
flag.
* 'cabal user-config now supports '--augment' which can append
additional lines to a new or updated cabal config file.
* Added support for '--enable-tests' and '--enable-benchmarks' to
'cabal fetch' (#4948).
* Misspelled package-names on CLI will no longer be silently
case-corrected (#4778).
* 'cabal new-configure' now backs up the old 'cabal.project.local'
file if it exists (#4460).
* On macOS, `new-build` will now place dynamic libraries into
`store/lib` and aggressively shorten their names in an effort to
stay within the load command size limits of macOSs mach-o linker.
* 'new-build' now checks for the existence of executables for
build-tools and build-tool-depends dependencies in the solver
(#4884).
* Fixed a spurious warning telling the user to run 'cabal update'
when it wasn't necessary (#4444).
* Packages installed in sandboxes via 'add-source' now have
their timestamps updated correctly and so will not be reinstalled
unncecessarily if the main install command fails (#1375).
* Add Windows device path support for copyFile, renameFile. Allows cabal
new-build to use temporary store path of up to 32k length
(#3972, #4914, #4515).
* When a flag value is specified multiple times on the command
line, the last one is now preferred, so e.g. '-f+dev -f-dev' is
now equivalent to '-f-dev' (#4452).
* Removed support for building cabal-install with GHC < 7.10 (#4870).
* New 'package *' section in 'cabal.project' files that applies
options to all packages, not just those local to the project.
* Paths_ autogen modules now compile when `RebindableSyntax` or
`OverloadedStrings` is used in `default-extensions`.
[stack#3789](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3789)
* getDataDir` and other `Paths_autogen` functions now work correctly
when compiling a custom `Setup.hs` script using `new-build` (#5164).
2.0.0.1 Mikhail Glushenkov <[email protected]> December 2017
* Support for GHC's numeric -g debug levels (#4673).
* Demoted 'scope' field version check to a warning (#4714).
* Fixed verbosity flags getting removed before being passed to
'printPlan' (#4724).
* Added a '--store-dir' option that can be used to configure the
location of the build global build store (#4623).
* Turned `allow-{newer,older}` in `cabal.project` files into an
accumulating field to match CLI flag semantics (#4679).
* Improve success message when `cabal upload`ing documentation
(#4777).
* Documentation fixes.
2.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <[email protected]> August 2017
* See http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2017-09-09-Cabal-2-0.html
for more detailed release notes.
* Removed the '--root-cmd' parameter of the 'install' command
(#3356).
* Deprecated 'cabal install --global' (#3356).
* Changed 'cabal upload' to upload a package candidate by default
(#3419). Same applies to uploading documentation.
* Added a new 'cabal upload' flag '--publish' for publishing a
package on Hackage instead of uploading a candidate (#3419).
* Added optional solver output visualisation support via the
tracetree package. Mainly intended for debugging (#3410).
* Removed the '--check' option from 'cabal upload'
(#1823). It was replaced by package candidates.
* Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
(#3429).
* The bootstrap script now works correctly when run from a Git
clone (#3439).
* Removed the top-down solver (#3598).
* The '-v/--verbosity' option no longer affects GHC verbosity
(except in the case of '-v0'). Use '--ghc-options=-v' to enable
verbose GHC output (#3540, #3671).
* Changed the default logfile template from
'.../$pkgid.log' to '.../$compiler/$libname.log' (#3807).
* Added a new command, 'cabal reconfigure', which re-runs 'configure'
with the most recently used flags (#2214).
* Added the '--index-state' flag for requesting a specific
version of the package index (#3893, #4115).
* Support for building Backpack packages. See
https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpack.rst
for more details.
* Support the Nix package manager (#3651).
* Made the 'template-haskell' package non-upgradable again (#4185).
* Fixed password echoing on MinTTY (#4128).
* Added a new solver flag, '--allow-boot-library-installs', that allows
any package to be installed or upgraded (#4209).
* New 'cabal-install' command: 'outdated', for listing outdated
version bounds in a .cabal file or a freeze file (#4207).
* Added qualified constraints for setup dependencies. For example,
--constraint="setup.bar == 1.0" constrains all setup dependencies on
bar, and --constraint="foo:setup.bar == 1.0" constrains foo's setup
dependency on bar (part of #3502).
* Non-qualified constraints, such as --constraint="bar == 1.0", now
only apply to top-level dependencies. They don't constrain setup or
build-tool dependencies. The new syntax --constraint="any.bar == 1.0"
constrains all uses of bar.
* Added a technical preview version of the 'cabal doctest' command
(#4480).
