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

54 * Create store incoming directory
55 ([#4130](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4130))
56 * `fetchRepoTarball` output is not marked
57 ([#6385](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6385))
58 * Update `setupMinCabalVersionConstraint` for GHC-8.8
59 ([#6217](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6217))
60 * Implement `cabal install --ignore-project`
61 ([#5919](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5919))
62 * `cabal install executable` solver isn't affected by default
63 environment contents
64 ([#6410](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6410))
65 * Use `lukko` for file locking
66 ([#6345](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6345))
67 * Use `hackage-security-0.6`
68 ([#6388](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6388))
69 * Other dependency upgrades
71 3.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2019
72 * `v2-haddock` fails on `haddock` failures (#5977)
73 * `v2-run` works when given `File.lhs` literate file. (#6134)
74 * Parse comma-separated lists for extra-prog-path, extra-lib-dirs, extra-framework-dirs,
75 and extra-include-dirs as actual lists. (#5420)
76 * `v2-repl` no longer changes directory to a randomized temporary folder
77 when used outside of a project. (#5544)
78 * `install-method` and `overwrite-policy` in `.cabal/config` now actually work. (#5942)
79 * `v2-install` now reports the error when a package fails to build. (#5641)
80 * `v2-install` now has a default when called in a project (#5978, #6014, #6092)
81 * '--write-ghc-environment-files' now defaults to 'never' (#4242)
82 * Fix `sdist`'s output when sent to stdout. (#5874)
83 * Allow a list of dependencies to be provided for `repl --build-depends`. (#5845)
84 * Legacy commands are now only accessible with the `v1-` prefixes, and the `v2-`
85 commands are the new default. Accordingly, the next version of Cabal will be
86 the start of the 3.x version series. (#5800)
87 * New solver flag: '--reject-unconstrained-dependencies'. (#2568)
88 * Ported old-style test options to the new-style commands (#5455).
89 * Improved error messages for cabal file parse errors. (#5710)
90 * Removed support for `.zip` format source distributions (#5755)
91 * Add "simple project" initialization option. (#5707)
92 * Add '--minimize-conflict-set' flag to try to improve the solver's
93 error message, but with an increase in run time. (#5647)
94 * v2-test now succeeds when there are no test suites. (#5435)
95 * Add '--lib', '--exe', and '--libandexe' shorthands to init. (#5759)
96 * init now generates valid `Main.lhs` files. (#5577)
97 * Init improvements: add flag '--application-dir', and when creating
98 a library also create a MyLib.hs module. (#5740)
99 * Add support for generating test-suite via cabal init. (#5761)
100 * Increase `max-backjumps` default from 2000 to 4000.
101 * Make v2-install/new-install-specific flags configurable in
102 ~/.cabal/config
103 * Add --installdir and --install-method=copy flags to v2-install
104 that make it possible to copy the executable instead of symlinking it
105 * --symlink-bindir no longer controls the symlinking directory of
106 v2-install (installdir controls both symlinking and copying now)
107 * Default to non-interactive init.
108 * Add --test-wrapper that allows a prebuild script to set the test environment.
109 * Add filterTestFlags: filter test-wrapper for Cabal < 3.0.0.
110 * Cabal now only builds the minimum of a package for `v2-install` (#5754, #6091)
112 2.4.1.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> November 2018
113 * Add message to alert user to potential package casing errors. (#5635)
114 * new-clean no longer deletes dist-newstyle/src with `-s`. (#5699)
115 * 'new-install' now warns when failing to symlink an exe (#5602)
116 * Extend 'cabal init' support for 'cabal-version' selection (#5567)
117 * 'new-sdist' now generates tarballs with file modification
118 times from a date in 2001. Using the Unix epoch caused
119 problems on Windows. (#5596)
120 * Register monolithic packages installed into the store due to a
121 build-tool dependency if they also happen to contain a buildable
122 public lib. (#5379,#5604)
123 * Fixed a Windows bug where cabal-install tried to copy files
124 after moving them (#5631).
125 * 'cabal v2-repl' now works for indefinite (in the Backpack sense) components. (#5619)
126 * Set data dir environment variable for tarballs and remote repos (#5469)
127 * Fix monolithic inplace build tool PATH (#5633)
128 * 'cabal init' now supports '-w'/'--with-compiler' flag (#4936, #5654)
129 * Fix ambiguous --builddir on new-install (#5652)
130 * Allow relative --storedir (#5662)
131 * Respect --dry on new-install (#5671)
132 * Warn when new-installing zero exes (#5666)
133 * Add 'pkg-cabal-sha256' field to plan.json (#5695)
134 * New v2-build flag: '--only-configure'. (#5578)
135 * Fixed a 'new-install' failure that manifested when it
136 encountered remote source dependencies in a project. (#5643)
137 * New 'v2-[build,configure' flag: '--write-ghc-environment-files'
138 to control the generation of .ghc.environment files. (#5711)
140 2.4.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> September 2018
141 * Bugfix: "cabal new-build --ghc-option '--bogus' --ghc-option '-O1'"
142 no longer ignores all arguments except the last one (#5512).
143 * Add the following option aliases for '-dir'-suffixed options:
144 'storedir', 'logsdir', 'packagedir', 'sourcedir', 'outputdir' (#5484).
145 * 'new-run' now allows the user to run scripts that use a special block
146 to define their requirements (as in the executable stanza) in place
147 of a target. This also allows the use of 'cabal' as an interpreter
148 in a shebang line.
149 * Add aliases for the "new-" commands that won't change when they
150 lose their prefix or are eventually replaced by a third UI
151 paradigm in the future. (#5429)
152 * 'outdated' now accepts '--project-file FILE', which will look for bounds
153 from the new-style freeze file named FILE.freeze. This is only
154 available when `--new-freeze-file` has been passed.
155 * 'new-repl' now accepts a '--build-depends' flag which accepts the
156 same syntax as is used in .cabal files to add additional dependencies
157 to the environment when developing in the REPL. It is now usable outside
158 of projects. (#5425, #5454)
159 * 'new-build' now treats Haddock errors non-fatally. In addition,
160 it attempts to avoid trying to generate Haddocks when there is
161 nothing to generate them from. (#5232, #5459)
162 * 'new-run', 'new-test', and 'new-bench' now will attempt to resolve
163 ambiguous selectors by filtering out selectors that would be invalid.
164 (#4679, #5461)
165 * 'new-install' now supports installing libraries and local
166 components. (#5399)
167 * Drop support for GHC 7.4, since it is out of our support window
168 (and has been for over a year!).
169 * 'new-update' now works outside of projects. (#5096)
170 * Extend `plan.json` with `pkg-src` provenance information. (#5487)
171 * Add 'new-sdist' command (#5389). Creates stable archives based on
172 cabal projects in '.zip' and '.tar.gz' formats.
173 * Add '--repl-options' flag to 'cabal repl' and 'cabal new-repl'
174 commands. Passes its arguments to the invoked repl, bypassing the
175 new-build's cached configurations. This assures they don't trigger
176 useless rebuilds and are always applied within the repl. (#4247, #5287)
177 * Add 'v1-' prefixes for the commands that will be replaced in the
178 new-build universe, in preparation for it becoming the default.
179 (#5358)
180 * 'outdated' accepts '--v1-freeze-file' and '--v2-freeze-file'
181 in the same spirit.
182 * Completed the 'new-clean' command (#5357). The functionality is
183 equivalent to old-style clean, but for nix-style builds.
184 * Ensure that each package selected for a build-depends dependency
185 contains a library (#5304).
186 * Support packages from local tarballs in the cabal.project file.
187 * Default changelog generated by 'cabal init' is now named
188 'CHANGELOG.md' (#5441).
189 * Align output of 'new-build' command phases (#4040).
190 * Add support for specifying remote VCS dependencies via new
191 'source-repository-package' stanzas in 'cabal.project' files
192 (#5351).
194 2.2.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> March 2018
195 * '--with-PROG' and '--PROG-options' are applied to all packages
196 and not local packages only (#5019).
197 * Completed the 'new-update' command (#4809), which respects nix-style
198 cabal.project(.local) files and allows to update from
199 multiple repositories when using overlays.
200 * Completed the 'new-run' command (#4477). The functionality is the
201 same of the old 'run' command but using nix-style builds.
202 Additionally, it can run executables across packages in a project.
203 Tests and benchmarks are also treated as executables, providing a
204 quick way to pass them arguments.
205 * Completed the 'new-bench' command (#3638). Same as above.
206 * Completed the 'new-exec' command (#3638). Same as above.
207 * Added a preliminary 'new-install' command (#4558, nonlocal exes
208 part) which allows to quickly install executables from Hackage.
209 * Set symlink-bindir (used by new-install) to .cabal/bin by default on
210 .cabal/config initialization (#5188).
211 * 'cabal update' now supports '--index-state' which can be used to
212 roll back the index to an earlier state.
213 * '--allow-{newer,older}' syntax has been enhanced. Dependency
214 relaxation can be now limited to a specific release of a package,
215 plus there's a new syntax for relaxing only caret-style (i.e. '^>=')
216 dependencies (#4575, #4669).
217 * New config file field: 'cxx-options' to specify which options to be
218 passed to the compiler when compiling C++ sources specified by the
219 'cxx-sources' field. (#3700)
220 * New config file field: 'cxx-sources' to specify C++ files to be
221 compiled separately from C source files. Useful in conjunction with the
222 'cxx-options' flag to pass different compiler options to C and C++
223 source files. (#3700)
224 * Use [lfxtb] letters to differentiate component kind instead of
225 opaque "c" in dist-dir layout.
226 * 'cabal configure' now supports '--enable-static', which can be
227 used to build static libraries with GHC via GHC's `-staticlib`
228 flag.
229 * 'cabal user-config now supports '--augment' which can append
230 additional lines to a new or updated cabal config file.
231 * Added support for '--enable-tests' and '--enable-benchmarks' to
232 'cabal fetch' (#4948).
233 * Misspelled package-names on CLI will no longer be silently
234 case-corrected (#4778).
235 * 'cabal new-configure' now backs up the old 'cabal.project.local'
236 file if it exists (#4460).
237 * On macOS, `new-build` will now place dynamic libraries into
238 `store/lib` and aggressively shorten their names in an effort to
239 stay within the load command size limits of macOSs mach-o linker.
240 * 'new-build' now checks for the existence of executables for
241 build-tools and build-tool-depends dependencies in the solver
242 (#4884).
243 * Fixed a spurious warning telling the user to run 'cabal update'
244 when it wasn't necessary (#4444).
245 * Packages installed in sandboxes via 'add-source' now have
246 their timestamps updated correctly and so will not be reinstalled
247 unnecessarily if the main install command fails (#1375).
248 * Add Windows device path support for copyFile, renameFile. Allows cabal
249 new-build to use temporary store path of up to 32k length
250 (#3972, #4914, #4515).
251 * When a flag value is specified multiple times on the command
252 line, the last one is now preferred, so e.g. '-f+dev -f-dev' is
253 now equivalent to '-f-dev' (#4452).
254 * Removed support for building cabal-install with GHC < 7.10 (#4870).
255 * New 'package *' section in 'cabal.project' files that applies
256 options to all packages, not just those local to the project.
257 * Paths_ autogen modules now compile when `RebindableSyntax` or
258 `OverloadedStrings` is used in `default-extensions`.
259 [stack#3789](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3789)
260 * getDataDir` and other `Paths_autogen` functions now work correctly
261 when compiling a custom `Setup.hs` script using `new-build` (#5164).
263 2.0.0.1 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2017
264 * Support for GHC's numeric -g debug levels (#4673).
265 * Demoted 'scope' field version check to a warning (#4714).
266 * Fixed verbosity flags getting removed before being passed to
267 'printPlan' (#4724).
268 * Added a '--store-dir' option that can be used to configure the
269 location of the build global build store (#4623).
270 * Turned `allow-{newer,older}` in `cabal.project` files into an
271 accumulating field to match CLI flag semantics (#4679).
272 * Improve success message when `cabal upload`ing documentation
273 (#4777).
274 * Documentation fixes.
276 2.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2017
277 * See http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2017-09-09-Cabal-2-0.html
278 for more detailed release notes.
279 * Removed the '--root-cmd' parameter of the 'install' command
280 (#3356).
281 * Deprecated 'cabal install --global' (#3356).
282 * Changed 'cabal upload' to upload a package candidate by default
283 (#3419). Same applies to uploading documentation.
284 * Added a new 'cabal upload' flag '--publish' for publishing a
285 package on Hackage instead of uploading a candidate (#3419).
286 * Added optional solver output visualisation support via the
287 tracetree package. Mainly intended for debugging (#3410).
288 * Removed the '--check' option from 'cabal upload'
289 (#1823). It was replaced by package candidates.
290 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
291 (#3429).
292 * The bootstrap script now works correctly when run from a Git
293 clone (#3439).
294 * Removed the top-down solver (#3598).
295 * The '-v/--verbosity' option no longer affects GHC verbosity
296 (except in the case of '-v0'). Use '--ghc-options=-v' to enable
297 verbose GHC output (#3540, #3671).
298 * Changed the default logfile template from
299 '.../$pkgid.log' to '.../$compiler/$libname.log' (#3807).
300 * Added a new command, 'cabal reconfigure', which re-runs 'configure'
301 with the most recently used flags (#2214).
302 * Added the '--index-state' flag for requesting a specific
303 version of the package index (#3893, #4115).
304 * Support for building Backpack packages. See
305 https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpack.rst
306 for more details.
307 * Support the Nix package manager (#3651).
308 * Made the 'template-haskell' package non-upgradable again (#4185).
309 * Fixed password echoing on MinTTY (#4128).
310 * Added a new solver flag, '--allow-boot-library-installs', that allows
311 any package to be installed or upgraded (#4209).
312 * New 'cabal-install' command: 'outdated', for listing outdated
313 version bounds in a .cabal file or a freeze file (#4207).
314 * Added qualified constraints for setup dependencies. For example,
315 --constraint="setup.bar == 1.0" constrains all setup dependencies on
316 bar, and --constraint="foo:setup.bar == 1.0" constrains foo's setup
317 dependency on bar (part of #3502).
318 * Non-qualified constraints, such as --constraint="bar == 1.0", now
319 only apply to top-level dependencies. They don't constrain setup or
320 build-tool dependencies. The new syntax --constraint="any.bar == 1.0"
321 constrains all uses of bar.
322 * Added a technical preview version of the 'cabal doctest' command
323 (#4480).
325 1.24.0.2 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2016
326 * Adapted to the revert of a PVP-noncompliant API change in
327 Cabal 1.24.2.0 (#4123).
328 * Bumped the directory upper bound to < 1.4 (#4158).
330 1.24.0.1 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> October 2016
331 * Fixed issue with passing '--enable-profiling' when invoking
332 Setup scripts built with older versions of Cabal (#3873).
333 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
334 (#3429).
335 * Updated to depend on the latest hackage-security that fixes
336 various issues on Windows.
337 * Fixed 'new-build' to exit with a non-zero exit code on failure
338 (#3506).
339 * Store secure repo index data as 01-index.* (#3862).
340 * Added new hackage-security root keys for distribution with
341 cabal-install.
342 * Fix an issue where 'cabal install' sometimes had to be run twice
343 for packages with build-type: Custom and a custom-setup stanza
344 (#3723).
345 * 'cabal sdist' no longer ignores '--builddir' when the package's
346 build-type is Custom (#3794).
348 1.24.0.0 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> March 2016
349 * If there are multiple remote repos, 'cabal update' now updates
350 them in parallel (#2503).
351 * New 'cabal upload' option '-P'/'--password-command' for reading
352 Hackage password from arbitrary program output (#2506).
353 * Better warning for 'cabal run' (#2510).
354 * 'cabal init' now warns if the chosen package name is already
355 registered in the source package index (#2436).
356 * New 'cabal install' option: '--offline' (#2578).
357 * Accept 'builddir' field in cabal.config (#2484)
358 * Read 'builddir' option from 'CABAL_BUILDDIR' environment variable.
359 * Remote repos may now be configured to use https URLs. This uses
360 either curl or wget or, on Windows, PowerShell, under the hood (#2687).
361 * Install target URLs can now use https e.g. 'cabal install
362 https://example.com/foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
363 * Automatically use https for cabal upload for the main
364 hackage.haskell.org (other repos will use whatever they are
365 configured to use).
366 * Support for dependencies of custom Setup.hs scripts
367 (see http://www.well-typed.com/blog/2015/07/cabal-setup-deps/).
368 * 'cabal' program itself now can be used as an external setup
369 method. This fixes an issue when Cabal version mismatch caused
370 unnecessary reconfigures (#2633).
371 * Improved error message for unsatisfiable package constraints
372 (#2727).
373 * Fixed a space leak in 'cabal update' (#2826).
374 * 'cabal exec' and 'sandbox hc-pkg' now use the configured
375 compiler (#2859).
376 * New 'cabal haddock' option: '--for-hackage' (#2852).
377 * Added a warning when the solver cannot find a dependency (#2853).
378 * New 'cabal upload' option: '--doc': upload documentation to
379 hackage (#2890).
380 * Improved error handling for 'sandbox delete-source' (#2943).
