33 3.2.0.0 Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@gnu.org> April 2020
34 * `v2-build` (and other `v2-`prefixed commands) now accept the
35 `--benchmark-option(s)` flags, which pass options to benchmark executables
36 (analogous to how `--test-option(s)` works). (#6209)
37 * Add solver optimization to skip a version of a package if it does not resolve
38 any conflicts encountered in the last version, controlled by flag
39 '--fine-grained-conflicts'. (#5918)
40 * `cabal v2-exec` doesn't fail in clean package (#6479)
41 * Show full ABI hash for installed packages in solver log (#5892)
42 * Create incoming directory even for empty packages (#4130)
43 * Start GHCi with `main-is` module in scope (#6311)
44 * Implement `--benchmark-options` for `v2-bench` (#6224)
45 * Fix store-dir in ghc env files generated by `cabal install --lib

51 * Create store incoming directory
52 ([#4130](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4130))
53 * `fetchRepoTarball` output is not marked
54 ([#6385](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6385))
55 * Update `setupMinCabalVersionConstraint` for GHC-8.8
56 ([#6217](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6217))
57 * Implement `cabal install --ignore-project`
58 ([#5919](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5919))
59 * `cabal install executable` solver isn't affected by default
60 environment contents
61 ([#6410](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6410))
62 * Use `lukko` for file locking
63 ([#6345](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6345))
64 * Use `hackage-security-0.6`
65 ([#6388](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6388))
66 * Other dependency upgrades
68 3.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2019
69 * `v2-haddock` fails on `haddock` failures (#5977)
70 * `v2-run` works when given `File.lhs` literate file. (#6134)
71 * Parse comma-separated lists for extra-prog-path, extra-lib-dirs, extra-framework-dirs,
72 and extra-include-dirs as actual lists. (#5420)
73 * `v2-repl` no longer changes directory to a randomized temporary folder
74 when used outside of a project. (#5544)
75 * `install-method` and `overwrite-policy` in `.cabal/config` now actually work. (#5942)
76 * `v2-install` now reports the error when a package fails to build. (#5641)
77 * `v2-install` now has a default when called in a project (#5978, #6014, #6092)
78 * '--write-ghc-environment-files' now defaults to 'never' (#4242)
79 * Fix `sdist`'s output when sent to stdout. (#5874)
80 * Allow a list of dependencies to be provided for `repl --build-depends`. (#5845)
81 * Legacy commands are now only accessible with the `v1-` prefixes, and the `v2-`
82 commands are the new default. Accordingly, the next version of Cabal will be
83 the start of the 3.x version series. (#5800)
84 * New solver flag: '--reject-unconstrained-dependencies'. (#2568)
85 * Ported old-style test options to the new-style commands (#5455).
86 * Improved error messages for cabal file parse errors. (#5710)
87 * Removed support for `.zip` format source distributions (#5755)
88 * Add "simple project" initialization option. (#5707)
89 * Add '--minimize-conflict-set' flag to try to improve the solver's
90 error message, but with an increase in run time. (#5647)
91 * v2-test now succeeds when there are no test suites. (#5435)
92 * Add '--lib', '--exe', and '--libandexe' shorthands to init. (#5759)
93 * init now generates valid `Main.lhs` files. (#5577)
94 * Init improvements: add flag '--application-dir', and when creating
95 a library also create a MyLib.hs module. (#5740)
96 * Add support for generating test-suite via cabal init. (#5761)
97 * Increase `max-backjumps` default from 2000 to 4000.
98 * Make v2-install/new-install-specific flags configurable in
99 ~/.cabal/config
100 * Add --installdir and --install-method=copy flags to v2-install
101 that make it possible to copy the executable instead of symlinking it
102 * --symlink-bindir no longer controls the symlinking directory of
103 v2-install (installdir controls both symlinking and copying now)
104 * Default to non-interactive init.
105 * Add --test-wrapper that allows a prebuild script to set the test environment.
106 * Add filterTestFlags: filter test-wrapper for Cabal < 3.0.0.
107 * Cabal now only builds the minimum of a package for `v2-install` (#5754, #6091)
109 2.4.1.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> November 2018
110 * Add message to alert user to potential package casing errors. (#5635)
111 * new-clean no longer deletes dist-newstyle/src with `-s`. (#5699)
112 * 'new-install' now warns when failing to symlink an exe (#5602)
113 * Extend 'cabal init' support for 'cabal-version' selection (#5567)
114 * 'new-sdist' now generates tarballs with file modification
115 times from a date in 2001. Using the Unix epoch caused
116 problems on Windows. (#5596)
117 * Register monolithic packages installed into the store due to a
118 build-tool dependency if they also happen to contain a buildable
119 public lib. (#5379,#5604)
120 * Fixed a Windows bug where cabal-install tried to copy files
121 after moving them (#5631).
122 * 'cabal v2-repl' now works for indefinite (in the Backpack sense) components. (#5619)
123 * Set data dir environment variable for tarballs and remote repos (#5469)
124 * Fix monolithic inplace build tool PATH (#5633)
125 * 'cabal init' now supports '-w'/'--with-compiler' flag (#4936, #5654)
126 * Fix ambiguous --builddir on new-install (#5652)
127 * Allow relative --storedir (#5662)
128 * Respect --dry on new-install (#5671)
129 * Warn when new-installing zero exes (#5666)
130 * Add 'pkg-cabal-sha256' field to plan.json (#5695)
131 * New v2-build flag: '--only-configure'. (#5578)
132 * Fixed a 'new-install' failure that manifested when it
133 encountered remote source dependencies in a project. (#5643)
134 * New 'v2-[build,configure' flag: '--write-ghc-environment-files'
135 to control the generation of .ghc.environment files. (#5711)
137 2.4.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> September 2018
138 * Bugfix: "cabal new-build --ghc-option '--bogus' --ghc-option '-O1'"
139 no longer ignores all arguments except the last one (#5512).
140 * Add the following option aliases for '-dir'-suffixed options:
141 'storedir', 'logsdir', 'packagedir', 'sourcedir', 'outputdir' (#5484).
142 * 'new-run' now allows the user to run scripts that use a special block
143 to define their requirements (as in the executable stanza) in place
144 of a target. This also allows the use of 'cabal' as an interpreter
145 in a shebang line.
146 * Add aliases for the "new-" commands that won't change when they
147 lose their prefix or are eventually replaced by a third UI
148 paradigm in the future. (#5429)
149 * 'outdated' now accepts '--project-file FILE', which will look for bounds
150 from the new-style freeze file named FILE.freeze. This is only
151 available when `--new-freeze-file` has been passed.
152 * 'new-repl' now accepts a '--build-depends' flag which accepts the
153 same syntax as is used in .cabal files to add additional dependencies
154 to the environment when developing in the REPL. It is now usable outside
155 of projects. (#5425, #5454)
156 * 'new-build' now treats Haddock errors non-fatally. In addition,
157 it attempts to avoid trying to generate Haddocks when there is
158 nothing to generate them from. (#5232, #5459)
159 * 'new-run', 'new-test', and 'new-bench' now will attempt to resolve
160 ambiguous selectors by filtering out selectors that would be invalid.
161 (#4679, #5461)
162 * 'new-install' now supports installing libraries and local
163 components. (#5399)
164 * Drop support for GHC 7.4, since it is out of our support window
165 (and has been for over a year!).
166 * 'new-update' now works outside of projects. (#5096)
167 * Extend `plan.json` with `pkg-src` provenance information. (#5487)
168 * Add 'new-sdist' command (#5389). Creates stable archives based on
169 cabal projects in '.zip' and '.tar.gz' formats.
170 * Add '--repl-options' flag to 'cabal repl' and 'cabal new-repl'
171 commands. Passes its arguments to the invoked repl, bypassing the
172 new-build's cached configurations. This assures they don't trigger
173 useless rebuilds and are always applied within the repl. (#4247, #5287)
174 * Add 'v1-' prefixes for the commands that will be replaced in the
175 new-build universe, in preparation for it becoming the default.
176 (#5358)
177 * 'outdated' accepts '--v1-freeze-file' and '--v2-freeze-file'
178 in the same spirit.
179 * Completed the 'new-clean' command (#5357). The functionality is
180 equivalent to old-style clean, but for nix-style builds.
181 * Ensure that each package selected for a build-depends dependency
182 contains a library (#5304).
183 * Support packages from local tarballs in the cabal.project file.
184 * Default changelog generated by 'cabal init' is now named
185 'CHANGELOG.md' (#5441).
186 * Align output of 'new-build' command phases (#4040).
187 * Add support for specifying remote VCS dependencies via new
188 'source-repository-package' stanzas in 'cabal.project' files
189 (#5351).
191 2.2.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> March 2018
192 * '--with-PROG' and '--PROG-options' are applied to all packages
193 and not local packages only (#5019).
194 * Completed the 'new-update' command (#4809), which respects nix-style
195 cabal.project(.local) files and allows to update from
196 multiple repositories when using overlays.
197 * Completed the 'new-run' command (#4477). The functionality is the
198 same of the old 'run' command but using nix-style builds.
199 Additionally, it can run executables across packages in a project.
200 Tests and benchmarks are also treated as executables, providing a
201 quick way to pass them arguments.
202 * Completed the 'new-bench' command (#3638). Same as above.
203 * Completed the 'new-exec' command (#3638). Same as above.
204 * Added a preliminary 'new-install' command (#4558, nonlocal exes
205 part) which allows to quickly install executables from Hackage.
206 * Set symlink-bindir (used by new-install) to .cabal/bin by default on
207 .cabal/config initialization (#5188).
208 * 'cabal update' now supports '--index-state' which can be used to
209 roll back the index to an earlier state.
210 * '--allow-{newer,older}' syntax has been enhanced. Dependency
211 relaxation can be now limited to a specific release of a package,
212 plus there's a new syntax for relaxing only caret-style (i.e. '^>=')
213 dependencies (#4575, #4669).
214 * New config file field: 'cxx-options' to specify which options to be
215 passed to the compiler when compiling C++ sources specified by the
216 'cxx-sources' field. (#3700)
217 * New config file field: 'cxx-sources' to specify C++ files to be
218 compiled separately from C source files. Useful in conjunction with the
219 'cxx-options' flag to pass different compiler options to C and C++
220 source files. (#3700)
221 * Use [lfxtb] letters to differentiate component kind instead of
222 opaque "c" in dist-dir layout.
223 * 'cabal configure' now supports '--enable-static', which can be
224 used to build static libraries with GHC via GHC's `-staticlib`
225 flag.
226 * 'cabal user-config now supports '--augment' which can append
227 additional lines to a new or updated cabal config file.
228 * Added support for '--enable-tests' and '--enable-benchmarks' to
229 'cabal fetch' (#4948).
230 * Misspelled package-names on CLI will no longer be silently
231 case-corrected (#4778).
232 * 'cabal new-configure' now backs up the old 'cabal.project.local'
233 file if it exists (#4460).
234 * On macOS, `new-build` will now place dynamic libraries into
235 `store/lib` and aggressively shorten their names in an effort to
236 stay within the load command size limits of macOSs mach-o linker.
237 * 'new-build' now checks for the existence of executables for
238 build-tools and build-tool-depends dependencies in the solver
239 (#4884).
240 * Fixed a spurious warning telling the user to run 'cabal update'
241 when it wasn't necessary (#4444).
242 * Packages installed in sandboxes via 'add-source' now have
243 their timestamps updated correctly and so will not be reinstalled
244 unnecessarily if the main install command fails (#1375).
245 * Add Windows device path support for copyFile, renameFile. Allows cabal
246 new-build to use temporary store path of up to 32k length
247 (#3972, #4914, #4515).
248 * When a flag value is specified multiple times on the command
249 line, the last one is now preferred, so e.g. '-f+dev -f-dev' is
250 now equivalent to '-f-dev' (#4452).
251 * Removed support for building cabal-install with GHC < 7.10 (#4870).
252 * New 'package *' section in 'cabal.project' files that applies
253 options to all packages, not just those local to the project.
254 * Paths_ autogen modules now compile when `RebindableSyntax` or
255 `OverloadedStrings` is used in `default-extensions`.
256 [stack#3789](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3789)
257 * getDataDir` and other `Paths_autogen` functions now work correctly
258 when compiling a custom `Setup.hs` script using `new-build` (#5164).
260 2.0.0.1 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2017
261 * Support for GHC's numeric -g debug levels (#4673).
262 * Demoted 'scope' field version check to a warning (#4714).
263 * Fixed verbosity flags getting removed before being passed to
264 'printPlan' (#4724).
265 * Added a '--store-dir' option that can be used to configure the
266 location of the build global build store (#4623).
267 * Turned `allow-{newer,older}` in `cabal.project` files into an
268 accumulating field to match CLI flag semantics (#4679).
269 * Improve success message when `cabal upload`ing documentation
270 (#4777).
271 * Documentation fixes.
273 2.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2017
274 * See http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2017-09-09-Cabal-2-0.html
275 for more detailed release notes.
276 * Removed the '--root-cmd' parameter of the 'install' command
277 (#3356).
278 * Deprecated 'cabal install --global' (#3356).
279 * Changed 'cabal upload' to upload a package candidate by default
280 (#3419). Same applies to uploading documentation.
281 * Added a new 'cabal upload' flag '--publish' for publishing a
282 package on Hackage instead of uploading a candidate (#3419).
283 * Added optional solver output visualisation support via the
284 tracetree package. Mainly intended for debugging (#3410).
285 * Removed the '--check' option from 'cabal upload'
286 (#1823). It was replaced by package candidates.
287 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
288 (#3429).
289 * The bootstrap script now works correctly when run from a Git
290 clone (#3439).
291 * Removed the top-down solver (#3598).
292 * The '-v/--verbosity' option no longer affects GHC verbosity
293 (except in the case of '-v0'). Use '--ghc-options=-v' to enable
294 verbose GHC output (#3540, #3671).
295 * Changed the default logfile template from
296 '.../$pkgid.log' to '.../$compiler/$libname.log' (#3807).
297 * Added a new command, 'cabal reconfigure', which re-runs 'configure'
298 with the most recently used flags (#2214).
299 * Added the '--index-state' flag for requesting a specific
300 version of the package index (#3893, #4115).
301 * Support for building Backpack packages. See
302 https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpack.rst
303 for more details.
304 * Support the Nix package manager (#3651).
305 * Made the 'template-haskell' package non-upgradable again (#4185).
306 * Fixed password echoing on MinTTY (#4128).
307 * Added a new solver flag, '--allow-boot-library-installs', that allows
308 any package to be installed or upgraded (#4209).
309 * New 'cabal-install' command: 'outdated', for listing outdated
310 version bounds in a .cabal file or a freeze file (#4207).
311 * Added qualified constraints for setup dependencies. For example,
312 --constraint="setup.bar == 1.0" constrains all setup dependencies on
313 bar, and --constraint="foo:setup.bar == 1.0" constrains foo's setup
314 dependency on bar (part of #3502).
315 * Non-qualified constraints, such as --constraint="bar == 1.0", now
316 only apply to top-level dependencies. They don't constrain setup or
317 build-tool dependencies. The new syntax --constraint="any.bar == 1.0"
318 constrains all uses of bar.
319 * Added a technical preview version of the 'cabal doctest' command
320 (#4480).
322 1.24.0.2 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2016
323 * Adapted to the revert of a PVP-noncompliant API change in
324 Cabal 1.24.2.0 (#4123).
325 * Bumped the directory upper bound to < 1.4 (#4158).
327 1.24.0.1 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> October 2016
328 * Fixed issue with passing '--enable-profiling' when invoking
329 Setup scripts built with older versions of Cabal (#3873).
330 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
331 (#3429).
332 * Updated to depend on the latest hackage-security that fixes
333 various issues on Windows.
334 * Fixed 'new-build' to exit with a non-zero exit code on failure
335 (#3506).
336 * Store secure repo index data as 01-index.* (#3862).
337 * Added new hackage-security root keys for distribution with
338 cabal-install.
339 * Fix an issue where 'cabal install' sometimes had to be run twice
340 for packages with build-type: Custom and a custom-setup stanza
341 (#3723).
342 * 'cabal sdist' no longer ignores '--builddir' when the package's
343 build-type is Custom (#3794).
345 1.24.0.0 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> March 2016
346 * If there are multiple remote repos, 'cabal update' now updates
347 them in parallel (#2503).
348 * New 'cabal upload' option '-P'/'--password-command' for reading
349 Hackage password from arbitrary program output (#2506).
350 * Better warning for 'cabal run' (#2510).
351 * 'cabal init' now warns if the chosen package name is already
352 registered in the source package index (#2436).
353 * New 'cabal install' option: '--offline' (#2578).
354 * Accept 'builddir' field in cabal.config (#2484)
355 * Read 'builddir' option from 'CABAL_BUILDDIR' environment variable.
356 * Remote repos may now be configured to use https URLs. This uses
357 either curl or wget or, on Windows, PowerShell, under the hood (#2687).
358 * Install target URLs can now use https e.g. 'cabal install
359 https://example.com/foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
360 * Automatically use https for cabal upload for the main
361 hackage.haskell.org (other repos will use whatever they are
362 configured to use).
363 * Support for dependencies of custom Setup.hs scripts
364 (see http://www.well-typed.com/blog/2015/07/cabal-setup-deps/).
365 * 'cabal' program itself now can be used as an external setup
366 method. This fixes an issue when Cabal version mismatch caused
367 unnecessary reconfigures (#2633).
368 * Improved error message for unsatisfiable package constraints
369 (#2727).
370 * Fixed a space leak in 'cabal update' (#2826).
371 * 'cabal exec' and 'sandbox hc-pkg' now use the configured
372 compiler (#2859).
373 * New 'cabal haddock' option: '--for-hackage' (#2852).
374 * Added a warning when the solver cannot find a dependency (#2853).
375 * New 'cabal upload' option: '--doc': upload documentation to
376 hackage (#2890).
377 * Improved error handling for 'sandbox delete-source' (#2943).
378 * Solver support for extension and language flavours (#2873).
379 * Support for secure repos using hackage-security (#2983).
380 * Added a log file message similar to one printed by 'make' when
381 building in another directory (#2642).
