24 3.2.0.0 Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@gnu.org> April 2020
25 * `v2-build` (and other `v2-`prefixed commands) now accept the
26 `--benchmark-option(s)` flags, which pass options to benchmark executables
27 (analogous to how `--test-option(s)` works). (#6209)
28 * Add solver optimization to skip a version of a package if it does not resolve
29 any conflicts encountered in the last version, controlled by flag
30 '--fine-grained-conflicts'. (#5918)
31 * `cabal v2-exec` doesn't fail in clean package (#6479)
32 * Show full ABI hash for installed packages in solver log (#5892)
33 * Create incoming directory even for empty packages (#4130)
34 * Start GHCi with `main-is` module in scope (#6311)
35 * Implement `--benchmark-options` for `v2-bench` (#6224)
36 * Fix store-dir in ghc env files generated by `cabal install --lib

38 * `cabal v2-run` works with `.lhs` files (#6134)
39 * `subdir` in source-repository-package accepts multiple entries (#5472)
41 3.0.1.0 Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@gnu.org> April 2020
42 * Create store incoming directory
43 ([#4130](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4130))
44 * `fetchRepoTarball` output is not marked
45 ([#6385](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6385))
46 * Update `setupMinCabalVersionConstraint` for GHC-8.8
47 ([#6217](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6217))
48 * Implement `cabal install --ignore-project`
49 ([#5919](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5919))
50 * `cabal install executable` solver isn't affected by default
51 environment contents
52 ([#6410](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6410))
53 * Use `lukko` for file locking
54 ([#6345](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6345))
55 * Use `hackage-security-0.6`
56 ([#6388](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6388))
57 * Other dependency upgrades
59 3.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2019
60 * `v2-haddock` fails on `haddock` failures (#5977)
61 * `v2-run` works when given `File.lhs` literate file. (#6134)
62 * Parse comma-separated lists for extra-prog-path, extra-lib-dirs, extra-framework-dirs,
63 and extra-include-dirs as actual lists. (#5420)
64 * `v2-repl` no longer changes directory to a randomized temporary folder
65 when used outside of a project. (#5544)
66 * `install-method` and `overwrite-policy` in `.cabal/config` now actually work. (#5942)
67 * `v2-install` now reports the error when a package fails to build. (#5641)
68 * `v2-install` now has a default when called in a project (#5978, #6014, #6092)
69 * '--write-ghc-environment-files' now defaults to 'never' (#4242)
70 * Fix `sdist`'s output when sent to stdout. (#5874)
71 * Allow a list of dependencies to be provided for `repl --build-depends`. (#5845)
72 * Legacy commands are now only accessible with the `v1-` prefixes, and the `v2-`
73 commands are the new default. Accordingly, the next version of Cabal will be
74 the start of the 3.x version series. (#5800)
75 * New solver flag: '--reject-unconstrained-dependencies'. (#2568)
76 * Ported old-style test options to the new-style commands (#5455).
77 * Improved error messages for cabal file parse errors. (#5710)
78 * Removed support for `.zip` format source distributions (#5755)
79 * Add "simple project" initialization option. (#5707)
80 * Add '--minimize-conflict-set' flag to try to improve the solver's
81 error message, but with an increase in run time. (#5647)
82 * v2-test now succeeds when there are no test suites. (#5435)
83 * Add '--lib', '--exe', and '--libandexe' shorthands to init. (#5759)
84 * init now generates valid `Main.lhs` files. (#5577)
85 * Init improvements: add flag '--application-dir', and when creating
86 a library also create a MyLib.hs module. (#5740)
87 * Add support for generating test-suite via cabal init. (#5761)
88 * Increase `max-backjumps` default from 2000 to 4000.
89 * Make v2-install/new-install-specific flags configurable in
90 ~/.cabal/config
91 * Add --installdir and --install-method=copy flags to v2-install
92 that make it possible to copy the executable instead of symlinking it
93 * --symlink-bindir no longer controls the symlinking directory of
94 v2-install (installdir controls both symlinking and copying now)
95 * Default to non-interactive init.
96 * Add --test-wrapper that allows a prebuild script to set the test environment.
97 * Add filterTestFlags: filter test-wrapper for Cabal < 3.0.0.
98 * Cabal now only builds the minimum of a package for `v2-install` (#5754, #6091)
100 2.4.1.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> November 2018
101 * Add message to alert user to potential package casing errors. (#5635)
102 * new-clean no longer deletes dist-newstyle/src with `-s`. (#5699)
103 * 'new-install' now warns when failing to symlink an exe (#5602)
104 * Extend 'cabal init' support for 'cabal-version' selection (#5567)
105 * 'new-sdist' now generates tarballs with file modification
106 times from a date in 2001. Using the Unix epoch caused
107 problems on Windows. (#5596)
108 * Register monolithic packages installed into the store due to a
109 build-tool dependency if they also happen to contain a buildable
110 public lib. (#5379,#5604)
111 * Fixed a Windows bug where cabal-install tried to copy files
112 after moving them (#5631).
113 * 'cabal v2-repl' now works for indefinite (in the Backpack sense) components. (#5619)
114 * Set data dir environment variable for tarballs and remote repos (#5469)
115 * Fix monolithic inplace build tool PATH (#5633)
116 * 'cabal init' now supports '-w'/'--with-compiler' flag (#4936, #5654)
117 * Fix ambiguous --builddir on new-install (#5652)
118 * Allow relative --storedir (#5662)
119 * Respect --dry on new-install (#5671)
120 * Warn when new-installing zero exes (#5666)
121 * Add 'pkg-cabal-sha256' field to plan.json (#5695)
122 * New v2-build flag: '--only-configure'. (#5578)
123 * Fixed a 'new-install' failure that manifested when it
124 encountered remote source dependencies in a project. (#5643)
125 * New 'v2-[build,configure' flag: '--write-ghc-environment-files'
126 to control the generation of .ghc.environment files. (#5711)
128 2.4.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> September 2018
129 * Bugfix: "cabal new-build --ghc-option '--bogus' --ghc-option '-O1'"
130 no longer ignores all arguments except the last one (#5512).
131 * Add the following option aliases for '-dir'-suffixed options:
132 'storedir', 'logsdir', 'packagedir', 'sourcedir', 'outputdir' (#5484).
133 * 'new-run' now allows the user to run scripts that use a special block
134 to define their requirements (as in the executable stanza) in place
135 of a target. This also allows the use of 'cabal' as an interpreter
136 in a shebang line.
137 * Add aliases for the "new-" commands that won't change when they
138 lose their prefix or are eventually replaced by a third UI
139 paradigm in the future. (#5429)
140 * 'outdated' now accepts '--project-file FILE', which will look for bounds
141 from the new-style freeze file named FILE.freeze. This is only
142 available when `--new-freeze-file` has been passed.
143 * 'new-repl' now accepts a '--build-depends' flag which accepts the
144 same syntax as is used in .cabal files to add additional dependencies
145 to the environment when developing in the REPL. It is now usable outside
146 of projects. (#5425, #5454)
147 * 'new-build' now treats Haddock errors non-fatally. In addition,
148 it attempts to avoid trying to generate Haddocks when there is
149 nothing to generate them from. (#5232, #5459)
150 * 'new-run', 'new-test', and 'new-bench' now will attempt to resolve
151 ambiguous selectors by filtering out selectors that would be invalid.
152 (#4679, #5461)
153 * 'new-install' now supports installing libraries and local
154 components. (#5399)
155 * Drop support for GHC 7.4, since it is out of our support window
156 (and has been for over a year!).
157 * 'new-update' now works outside of projects. (#5096)
158 * Extend `plan.json` with `pkg-src` provenance information. (#5487)
159 * Add 'new-sdist' command (#5389). Creates stable archives based on
160 cabal projects in '.zip' and '.tar.gz' formats.
161 * Add '--repl-options' flag to 'cabal repl' and 'cabal new-repl'
162 commands. Passes its arguments to the invoked repl, bypassing the
163 new-build's cached configurations. This assures they don't trigger
164 useless rebuilds and are always applied within the repl. (#4247, #5287)
165 * Add 'v1-' prefixes for the commands that will be replaced in the
166 new-build universe, in preparation for it becoming the default.
167 (#5358)
168 * 'outdated' accepts '--v1-freeze-file' and '--v2-freeze-file'
169 in the same spirit.
170 * Completed the 'new-clean' command (#5357). The functionality is
171 equivalent to old-style clean, but for nix-style builds.
172 * Ensure that each package selected for a build-depends dependency
173 contains a library (#5304).
174 * Support packages from local tarballs in the cabal.project file.
175 * Default changelog generated by 'cabal init' is now named
176 'CHANGELOG.md' (#5441).
177 * Align output of 'new-build' command phases (#4040).
178 * Add support for specifying remote VCS dependencies via new
179 'source-repository-package' stanzas in 'cabal.project' files
180 (#5351).
182 2.2.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> March 2018
183 * '--with-PROG' and '--PROG-options' are applied to all packages
184 and not local packages only (#5019).
185 * Completed the 'new-update' command (#4809), which respects nix-style
186 cabal.project(.local) files and allows to update from
187 multiple repositories when using overlays.
188 * Completed the 'new-run' command (#4477). The functionality is the
189 same of the old 'run' command but using nix-style builds.
190 Additionally, it can run executables across packages in a project.
191 Tests and benchmarks are also treated as executables, providing a
192 quick way to pass them arguments.
193 * Completed the 'new-bench' command (#3638). Same as above.
194 * Completed the 'new-exec' command (#3638). Same as above.
195 * Added a preliminary 'new-install' command (#4558, nonlocal exes
196 part) which allows to quickly install executables from Hackage.
197 * Set symlink-bindir (used by new-install) to .cabal/bin by default on
198 .cabal/config initialization (#5188).
199 * 'cabal update' now supports '--index-state' which can be used to
200 roll back the index to an earlier state.
201 * '--allow-{newer,older}' syntax has been enhanced. Dependency
202 relaxation can be now limited to a specific release of a package,
203 plus there's a new syntax for relaxing only caret-style (i.e. '^>=')
204 dependencies (#4575, #4669).
205 * New config file field: 'cxx-options' to specify which options to be
206 passed to the compiler when compiling C++ sources specified by the
207 'cxx-sources' field. (#3700)
208 * New config file field: 'cxx-sources' to specify C++ files to be
209 compiled separately from C source files. Useful in conjunction with the
210 'cxx-options' flag to pass different compiler options to C and C++
211 source files. (#3700)
212 * Use [lfxtb] letters to differentiate component kind instead of
213 opaque "c" in dist-dir layout.
214 * 'cabal configure' now supports '--enable-static', which can be
215 used to build static libraries with GHC via GHC's `-staticlib`
216 flag.
217 * 'cabal user-config now supports '--augment' which can append
218 additional lines to a new or updated cabal config file.
219 * Added support for '--enable-tests' and '--enable-benchmarks' to
220 'cabal fetch' (#4948).
221 * Misspelled package-names on CLI will no longer be silently
222 case-corrected (#4778).
223 * 'cabal new-configure' now backs up the old 'cabal.project.local'
224 file if it exists (#4460).
225 * On macOS, `new-build` will now place dynamic libraries into
226 `store/lib` and aggressively shorten their names in an effort to
227 stay within the load command size limits of macOSs mach-o linker.
228 * 'new-build' now checks for the existence of executables for
229 build-tools and build-tool-depends dependencies in the solver
230 (#4884).
231 * Fixed a spurious warning telling the user to run 'cabal update'
232 when it wasn't necessary (#4444).
233 * Packages installed in sandboxes via 'add-source' now have
234 their timestamps updated correctly and so will not be reinstalled
235 unnecessarily if the main install command fails (#1375).
236 * Add Windows device path support for copyFile, renameFile. Allows cabal
237 new-build to use temporary store path of up to 32k length
238 (#3972, #4914, #4515).
239 * When a flag value is specified multiple times on the command
240 line, the last one is now preferred, so e.g. '-f+dev -f-dev' is
241 now equivalent to '-f-dev' (#4452).
242 * Removed support for building cabal-install with GHC < 7.10 (#4870).
243 * New 'package *' section in 'cabal.project' files that applies
244 options to all packages, not just those local to the project.
245 * Paths_ autogen modules now compile when `RebindableSyntax` or
246 `OverloadedStrings` is used in `default-extensions`.
247 [stack#3789](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3789)
248 * getDataDir` and other `Paths_autogen` functions now work correctly
249 when compiling a custom `Setup.hs` script using `new-build` (#5164).
251 2.0.0.1 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2017
252 * Support for GHC's numeric -g debug levels (#4673).
253 * Demoted 'scope' field version check to a warning (#4714).
254 * Fixed verbosity flags getting removed before being passed to
255 'printPlan' (#4724).
256 * Added a '--store-dir' option that can be used to configure the
257 location of the build global build store (#4623).
258 * Turned `allow-{newer,older}` in `cabal.project` files into an
259 accumulating field to match CLI flag semantics (#4679).
260 * Improve success message when `cabal upload`ing documentation
261 (#4777).
262 * Documentation fixes.
264 2.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2017
265 * See http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2017-09-09-Cabal-2-0.html
266 for more detailed release notes.
267 * Removed the '--root-cmd' parameter of the 'install' command
268 (#3356).
269 * Deprecated 'cabal install --global' (#3356).
270 * Changed 'cabal upload' to upload a package candidate by default
271 (#3419). Same applies to uploading documentation.
272 * Added a new 'cabal upload' flag '--publish' for publishing a
273 package on Hackage instead of uploading a candidate (#3419).
274 * Added optional solver output visualisation support via the
275 tracetree package. Mainly intended for debugging (#3410).
276 * Removed the '--check' option from 'cabal upload'
277 (#1823). It was replaced by package candidates.
278 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
279 (#3429).
280 * The bootstrap script now works correctly when run from a Git
281 clone (#3439).
282 * Removed the top-down solver (#3598).
283 * The '-v/--verbosity' option no longer affects GHC verbosity
284 (except in the case of '-v0'). Use '--ghc-options=-v' to enable
285 verbose GHC output (#3540, #3671).
286 * Changed the default logfile template from
287 '.../$pkgid.log' to '.../$compiler/$libname.log' (#3807).
288 * Added a new command, 'cabal reconfigure', which re-runs 'configure'
289 with the most recently used flags (#2214).
290 * Added the '--index-state' flag for requesting a specific
291 version of the package index (#3893, #4115).
292 * Support for building Backpack packages. See
293 https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpack.rst
294 for more details.
295 * Support the Nix package manager (#3651).
296 * Made the 'template-haskell' package non-upgradable again (#4185).
297 * Fixed password echoing on MinTTY (#4128).
298 * Added a new solver flag, '--allow-boot-library-installs', that allows
299 any package to be installed or upgraded (#4209).
300 * New 'cabal-install' command: 'outdated', for listing outdated
301 version bounds in a .cabal file or a freeze file (#4207).
302 * Added qualified constraints for setup dependencies. For example,
303 --constraint="setup.bar == 1.0" constrains all setup dependencies on
304 bar, and --constraint="foo:setup.bar == 1.0" constrains foo's setup
305 dependency on bar (part of #3502).
306 * Non-qualified constraints, such as --constraint="bar == 1.0", now
307 only apply to top-level dependencies. They don't constrain setup or
308 build-tool dependencies. The new syntax --constraint="any.bar == 1.0"
309 constrains all uses of bar.
310 * Added a technical preview version of the 'cabal doctest' command
311 (#4480).
313 1.24.0.2 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2016
314 * Adapted to the revert of a PVP-noncompliant API change in
315 Cabal 1.24.2.0 (#4123).
316 * Bumped the directory upper bound to < 1.4 (#4158).
318 1.24.0.1 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> October 2016
319 * Fixed issue with passing '--enable-profiling' when invoking
320 Setup scripts built with older versions of Cabal (#3873).
321 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
322 (#3429).
323 * Updated to depend on the latest hackage-security that fixes
324 various issues on Windows.
325 * Fixed 'new-build' to exit with a non-zero exit code on failure
326 (#3506).
327 * Store secure repo index data as 01-index.* (#3862).
328 * Added new hackage-security root keys for distribution with
329 cabal-install.
330 * Fix an issue where 'cabal install' sometimes had to be run twice
331 for packages with build-type: Custom and a custom-setup stanza
332 (#3723).
333 * 'cabal sdist' no longer ignores '--builddir' when the package's
334 build-type is Custom (#3794).
336 1.24.0.0 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> March 2016
337 * If there are multiple remote repos, 'cabal update' now updates
338 them in parallel (#2503).
339 * New 'cabal upload' option '-P'/'--password-command' for reading
340 Hackage password from arbitrary program output (#2506).
341 * Better warning for 'cabal run' (#2510).
342 * 'cabal init' now warns if the chosen package name is already
343 registered in the source package index (#2436).
344 * New 'cabal install' option: '--offline' (#2578).
345 * Accept 'builddir' field in cabal.config (#2484)
346 * Read 'builddir' option from 'CABAL_BUILDDIR' environment variable.
347 * Remote repos may now be configured to use https URLs. This uses
348 either curl or wget or, on Windows, PowerShell, under the hood (#2687).
349 * Install target URLs can now use https e.g. 'cabal install
350 https://example.com/foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
351 * Automatically use https for cabal upload for the main
352 hackage.haskell.org (other repos will use whatever they are
353 configured to use).
354 * Support for dependencies of custom Setup.hs scripts
355 (see http://www.well-typed.com/blog/2015/07/cabal-setup-deps/).
356 * 'cabal' program itself now can be used as an external setup
357 method. This fixes an issue when Cabal version mismatch caused
358 unnecessary reconfigures (#2633).
359 * Improved error message for unsatisfiable package constraints
360 (#2727).
361 * Fixed a space leak in 'cabal update' (#2826).
362 * 'cabal exec' and 'sandbox hc-pkg' now use the configured
363 compiler (#2859).
364 * New 'cabal haddock' option: '--for-hackage' (#2852).
365 * Added a warning when the solver cannot find a dependency (#2853).
366 * New 'cabal upload' option: '--doc': upload documentation to
367 hackage (#2890).
368 * Improved error handling for 'sandbox delete-source' (#2943).
369 * Solver support for extension and language flavours (#2873).
370 * Support for secure repos using hackage-security (#2983).
371 * Added a log file message similar to one printed by 'make' when
372 building in another directory (#2642).
373 * Added new subcommand 'init' to 'cabal user-config'. This
374 subcommand creates a cabal configuration file in either the
375 default location or as specified by --config-file (#2553).
376 * The man page for 'cabal-install' is now automatically generated
377 (#2877).
378 * The '--allow-newer' option now works as expected when specified
379 multiple times (#2588).
380 * New config file field: 'extra-framework-dirs' (extra locations
381 to find OS X frameworks in). Can be also specified as an argument
382 for 'install' and 'configure' commands (#3158).
383 * It's now possible to limit the scope of '--allow-newer' to
384 single packages in the install plan (#2756).
385 * Full '--allow-newer' syntax is now supported in the config file
