22 * `v2-build` (and other `v2-`prefixed commands) now accept the
23 `--benchmark-option(s)` flags, which pass options to benchmark executables
24 (analogous to how `--test-option(s)` works). (#6209)

26 any conflicts encountered in the last version, controlled by flag
27 '--fine-grained-conflicts'. (#5918)
28 * `cabal v2-exec` doesn't fail in clean package (#6479)
29 * Show full ABI hash for installed packages in solver log (#5892)
30 * Create incoming directory even for empty packages (#4130)

39 * Create store incoming directory
40 ([#4130](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4130))
41 * `fetchRepoTarball` output is not marked
42 ([#6385](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6385))
43 * Update `setupMinCabalVersionConstraint` for GHC-8.8
44 ([#6217](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6217))
45 * Implement `cabal install --ignore-project`
46 ([#5919](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5919))
47 * `cabal install executable` solver isn't affected by default
48 environment contents
49 ([#6410](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/6410))
50 * Use `lukko` for file locking
51 ([#6345](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6345))
52 * Use `hackage-security-0.6`
53 ([#6388](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/6388))
54 * Other dependency upgrades
56 3.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2019
57 * `v2-haddock` fails on `haddock` failures (#5977)
58 * `v2-run` works when given `File.lhs` literate file. (#6134)
59 * Parse comma-separated lists for extra-prog-path, extra-lib-dirs, extra-framework-dirs,
60 and extra-include-dirs as actual lists. (#5420)
61 * `v2-repl` no longer changes directory to a randomized temporary folder
62 when used outside of a project. (#5544)
63 * `install-method` and `overwrite-policy` in `.cabal/config` now actually work. (#5942)
64 * `v2-install` now reports the error when a package fails to build. (#5641)
65 * `v2-install` now has a default when called in a project (#5978, #6014, #6092)
66 * '--write-ghc-environment-files' now defaults to 'never' (#4242)
67 * Fix `sdist`'s output when sent to stdout. (#5874)
68 * Allow a list of dependencies to be provided for `repl --build-depends`. (#5845)
69 * Legacy commands are now only accessible with the `v1-` prefixes, and the `v2-`
70 commands are the new default. Accordingly, the next version of Cabal will be
71 the start of the 3.x version series. (#5800)
72 * New solver flag: '--reject-unconstrained-dependencies'. (#2568)
73 * Ported old-style test options to the new-style commands (#5455).
74 * Improved error messages for cabal file parse errors. (#5710)
75 * Removed support for `.zip` format source distributions (#5755)
76 * Add "simple project" initialization option. (#5707)
77 * Add '--minimize-conflict-set' flag to try to improve the solver's
78 error message, but with an increase in run time. (#5647)
79 * v2-test now succeeds when there are no test suites. (#5435)
80 * Add '--lib', '--exe', and '--libandexe' shorthands to init. (#5759)
81 * init now generates valid `Main.lhs` files. (#5577)
82 * Init improvements: add flag '--application-dir', and when creating
83 a library also create a MyLib.hs module. (#5740)
84 * Add support for generating test-suite via cabal init. (#5761)
85 * Increase `max-backjumps` default from 2000 to 4000.
86 * Make v2-install/new-install-specific flags configurable in
87 ~/.cabal/config
88 * Add --installdir and --install-method=copy flags to v2-install
89 that make it possible to copy the executable instead of symlinking it
90 * --symlink-bindir no longer controls the symlinking directory of
91 v2-install (installdir controls both symlinking and copying now)
92 * Default to non-interactive init.
93 * Add --test-wrapper that allows a prebuild script to set the test environment.
94 * Add filterTestFlags: filter test-wrapper for Cabal < 3.0.0.
95 * Cabal now only builds the minimum of a package for `v2-install` (#5754, #6091)
97 2.4.1.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> November 2018
98 * Add message to alert user to potential package casing errors. (#5635)
99 * new-clean no longer deletes dist-newstyle/src with `-s`. (#5699)
100 * 'new-install' now warns when failing to symlink an exe (#5602)
101 * Extend 'cabal init' support for 'cabal-version' selection (#5567)
102 * 'new-sdist' now generates tarballs with file modification
103 times from a date in 2001. Using the Unix epoch caused
104 problems on Windows. (#5596)
105 * Register monolithic packages installed into the store due to a
106 build-tool dependency if they also happen to contain a buildable
107 public lib. (#5379,#5604)
108 * Fixed a Windows bug where cabal-install tried to copy files
109 after moving them (#5631).
110 * 'cabal v2-repl' now works for indefinite (in the Backpack sense) components. (#5619)
111 * Set data dir environment variable for tarballs and remote repos (#5469)
112 * Fix monolithic inplace build tool PATH (#5633)
113 * 'cabal init' now supports '-w'/'--with-compiler' flag (#4936, #5654)
114 * Fix ambiguous --builddir on new-install (#5652)
115 * Allow relative --storedir (#5662)
116 * Respect --dry on new-install (#5671)
117 * Warn when new-installing zero exes (#5666)
118 * Add 'pkg-cabal-sha256' field to plan.json (#5695)
119 * New v2-build flag: '--only-configure'. (#5578)
120 * Fixed a 'new-install' failure that manifested when it
121 encountered remote source dependencies in a project. (#5643)
122 * New 'v2-[build,configure' flag: '--write-ghc-environment-files'
123 to control the generation of .ghc.environment files. (#5711)
125 2.4.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> September 2018
126 * Bugfix: "cabal new-build --ghc-option '--bogus' --ghc-option '-O1'"
127 no longer ignores all arguments except the last one (#5512).
128 * Add the following option aliases for '-dir'-suffixed options:
129 'storedir', 'logsdir', 'packagedir', 'sourcedir', 'outputdir' (#5484).
130 * 'new-run' now allows the user to run scripts that use a special block
131 to define their requirements (as in the executable stanza) in place
132 of a target. This also allows the use of 'cabal' as an interpreter
133 in a shebang line.
134 * Add aliases for the "new-" commands that won't change when they
135 lose their prefix or are eventually replaced by a third UI
136 paradigm in the future. (#5429)
137 * 'outdated' now accepts '--project-file FILE', which will look for bounds
138 from the new-style freeze file named FILE.freeze. This is only
139 available when `--new-freeze-file` has been passed.
140 * 'new-repl' now accepts a '--build-depends' flag which accepts the
141 same syntax as is used in .cabal files to add additional dependencies
142 to the environment when developing in the REPL. It is now usable outside
143 of projects. (#5425, #5454)
144 * 'new-build' now treats Haddock errors non-fatally. In addition,
145 it attempts to avoid trying to generate Haddocks when there is
146 nothing to generate them from. (#5232, #5459)
147 * 'new-run', 'new-test', and 'new-bench' now will attempt to resolve
148 ambiguous selectors by filtering out selectors that would be invalid.
149 (#4679, #5461)
150 * 'new-install' now supports installing libraries and local
151 components. (#5399)
152 * Drop support for GHC 7.4, since it is out of our support window
153 (and has been for over a year!).
154 * 'new-update' now works outside of projects. (#5096)
155 * Extend `plan.json` with `pkg-src` provenance information. (#5487)
156 * Add 'new-sdist' command (#5389). Creates stable archives based on
157 cabal projects in '.zip' and '.tar.gz' formats.
158 * Add '--repl-options' flag to 'cabal repl' and 'cabal new-repl'
159 commands. Passes its arguments to the invoked repl, bypassing the
160 new-build's cached configurations. This assures they don't trigger
161 useless rebuilds and are always applied within the repl. (#4247, #5287)
162 * Add 'v1-' prefixes for the commands that will be replaced in the
163 new-build universe, in preparation for it becoming the default.
164 (#5358)
165 * 'outdated' accepts '--v1-freeze-file' and '--v2-freeze-file'
166 in the same spirit.
167 * Completed the 'new-clean' command (#5357). The functionality is
168 equivalent to old-style clean, but for nix-style builds.
169 * Ensure that each package selected for a build-depends dependency
170 contains a library (#5304).
171 * Support packages from local tarballs in the cabal.project file.
172 * Default changelog generated by 'cabal init' is now named
173 'CHANGELOG.md' (#5441).
174 * Align output of 'new-build' command phases (#4040).
175 * Add support for specifying remote VCS dependencies via new
176 'source-repository-package' stanzas in 'cabal.project' files
177 (#5351).
179 2.2.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> March 2018
180 * '--with-PROG' and '--PROG-options' are applied to all packages
181 and not local packages only (#5019).
182 * Completed the 'new-update' command (#4809), which respects nix-style
183 cabal.project(.local) files and allows to update from
184 multiple repositories when using overlays.
185 * Completed the 'new-run' command (#4477). The functionality is the
186 same of the old 'run' command but using nix-style builds.
187 Additionally, it can run executables across packages in a project.
188 Tests and benchmarks are also treated as executables, providing a
189 quick way to pass them arguments.
190 * Completed the 'new-bench' command (#3638). Same as above.
191 * Completed the 'new-exec' command (#3638). Same as above.
192 * Added a preliminary 'new-install' command (#4558, nonlocal exes
193 part) which allows to quickly install executables from Hackage.
194 * Set symlink-bindir (used by new-install) to .cabal/bin by default on
195 .cabal/config initialization (#5188).
196 * 'cabal update' now supports '--index-state' which can be used to
197 roll back the index to an earlier state.
198 * '--allow-{newer,older}' syntax has been enhanced. Dependency
199 relaxation can be now limited to a specific release of a package,
200 plus there's a new syntax for relaxing only caret-style (i.e. '^>=')
201 dependencies (#4575, #4669).
202 * New config file field: 'cxx-options' to specify which options to be
203 passed to the compiler when compiling C++ sources specified by the
204 'cxx-sources' field. (#3700)
205 * New config file field: 'cxx-sources' to specify C++ files to be
206 compiled separately from C source files. Useful in conjunction with the
207 'cxx-options' flag to pass different compiler options to C and C++
208 source files. (#3700)
209 * Use [lfxtb] letters to differentiate component kind instead of
210 opaque "c" in dist-dir layout.
211 * 'cabal configure' now supports '--enable-static', which can be
212 used to build static libraries with GHC via GHC's `-staticlib`
213 flag.
214 * 'cabal user-config now supports '--augment' which can append
215 additional lines to a new or updated cabal config file.
216 * Added support for '--enable-tests' and '--enable-benchmarks' to
217 'cabal fetch' (#4948).
218 * Misspelled package-names on CLI will no longer be silently
219 case-corrected (#4778).
220 * 'cabal new-configure' now backs up the old 'cabal.project.local'
221 file if it exists (#4460).
222 * On macOS, `new-build` will now place dynamic libraries into
223 `store/lib` and aggressively shorten their names in an effort to
224 stay within the load command size limits of macOSs mach-o linker.
225 * 'new-build' now checks for the existence of executables for
226 build-tools and build-tool-depends dependencies in the solver
227 (#4884).
228 * Fixed a spurious warning telling the user to run 'cabal update'
229 when it wasn't necessary (#4444).
230 * Packages installed in sandboxes via 'add-source' now have
231 their timestamps updated correctly and so will not be reinstalled
232 unnecessarily if the main install command fails (#1375).
233 * Add Windows device path support for copyFile, renameFile. Allows cabal
234 new-build to use temporary store path of up to 32k length
235 (#3972, #4914, #4515).
236 * When a flag value is specified multiple times on the command
237 line, the last one is now preferred, so e.g. '-f+dev -f-dev' is
238 now equivalent to '-f-dev' (#4452).
239 * Removed support for building cabal-install with GHC < 7.10 (#4870).
240 * New 'package *' section in 'cabal.project' files that applies
241 options to all packages, not just those local to the project.
242 * Paths_ autogen modules now compile when `RebindableSyntax` or
243 `OverloadedStrings` is used in `default-extensions`.
244 [stack#3789](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3789)
245 * getDataDir` and other `Paths_autogen` functions now work correctly
246 when compiling a custom `Setup.hs` script using `new-build` (#5164).
248 2.0.0.1 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2017
249 * Support for GHC's numeric -g debug levels (#4673).
250 * Demoted 'scope' field version check to a warning (#4714).
251 * Fixed verbosity flags getting removed before being passed to
252 'printPlan' (#4724).
253 * Added a '--store-dir' option that can be used to configure the
254 location of the build global build store (#4623).
255 * Turned `allow-{newer,older}` in `cabal.project` files into an
256 accumulating field to match CLI flag semantics (#4679).
257 * Improve success message when `cabal upload`ing documentation
258 (#4777).
259 * Documentation fixes.
261 2.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2017
262 * See http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2017-09-09-Cabal-2-0.html
263 for more detailed release notes.
264 * Removed the '--root-cmd' parameter of the 'install' command
265 (#3356).
266 * Deprecated 'cabal install --global' (#3356).
267 * Changed 'cabal upload' to upload a package candidate by default
268 (#3419). Same applies to uploading documentation.
269 * Added a new 'cabal upload' flag '--publish' for publishing a
270 package on Hackage instead of uploading a candidate (#3419).
271 * Added optional solver output visualisation support via the
272 tracetree package. Mainly intended for debugging (#3410).
273 * Removed the '--check' option from 'cabal upload'
274 (#1823). It was replaced by package candidates.
275 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
276 (#3429).
277 * The bootstrap script now works correctly when run from a Git
278 clone (#3439).
279 * Removed the top-down solver (#3598).
280 * The '-v/--verbosity' option no longer affects GHC verbosity
281 (except in the case of '-v0'). Use '--ghc-options=-v' to enable
282 verbose GHC output (#3540, #3671).
283 * Changed the default logfile template from
284 '.../$pkgid.log' to '.../$compiler/$libname.log' (#3807).
285 * Added a new command, 'cabal reconfigure', which re-runs 'configure'
286 with the most recently used flags (#2214).
287 * Added the '--index-state' flag for requesting a specific
288 version of the package index (#3893, #4115).
289 * Support for building Backpack packages. See
290 https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpack.rst
291 for more details.
292 * Support the Nix package manager (#3651).
293 * Made the 'template-haskell' package non-upgradable again (#4185).
294 * Fixed password echoing on MinTTY (#4128).
295 * Added a new solver flag, '--allow-boot-library-installs', that allows
296 any package to be installed or upgraded (#4209).
297 * New 'cabal-install' command: 'outdated', for listing outdated
298 version bounds in a .cabal file or a freeze file (#4207).
299 * Added qualified constraints for setup dependencies. For example,
300 --constraint="setup.bar == 1.0" constrains all setup dependencies on
301 bar, and --constraint="foo:setup.bar == 1.0" constrains foo's setup
302 dependency on bar (part of #3502).
303 * Non-qualified constraints, such as --constraint="bar == 1.0", now
304 only apply to top-level dependencies. They don't constrain setup or
305 build-tool dependencies. The new syntax --constraint="any.bar == 1.0"
306 constrains all uses of bar.
307 * Added a technical preview version of the 'cabal doctest' command
308 (#4480).
310 1.24.0.2 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2016
311 * Adapted to the revert of a PVP-noncompliant API change in
312 Cabal 1.24.2.0 (#4123).
313 * Bumped the directory upper bound to < 1.4 (#4158).
315 1.24.0.1 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> October 2016
316 * Fixed issue with passing '--enable-profiling' when invoking
317 Setup scripts built with older versions of Cabal (#3873).
318 * Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
319 (#3429).
320 * Updated to depend on the latest hackage-security that fixes
321 various issues on Windows.
322 * Fixed 'new-build' to exit with a non-zero exit code on failure
323 (#3506).
324 * Store secure repo index data as 01-index.* (#3862).
325 * Added new hackage-security root keys for distribution with
326 cabal-install.
327 * Fix an issue where 'cabal install' sometimes had to be run twice
328 for packages with build-type: Custom and a custom-setup stanza
329 (#3723).
330 * 'cabal sdist' no longer ignores '--builddir' when the package's
331 build-type is Custom (#3794).
333 1.24.0.0 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> March 2016
334 * If there are multiple remote repos, 'cabal update' now updates
335 them in parallel (#2503).
336 * New 'cabal upload' option '-P'/'--password-command' for reading
337 Hackage password from arbitrary program output (#2506).
338 * Better warning for 'cabal run' (#2510).
339 * 'cabal init' now warns if the chosen package name is already
340 registered in the source package index (#2436).
341 * New 'cabal install' option: '--offline' (#2578).
342 * Accept 'builddir' field in cabal.config (#2484)
343 * Read 'builddir' option from 'CABAL_BUILDDIR' environment variable.
344 * Remote repos may now be configured to use https URLs. This uses
345 either curl or wget or, on Windows, PowerShell, under the hood (#2687).
346 * Install target URLs can now use https e.g. 'cabal install
347 https://example.com/foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
348 * Automatically use https for cabal upload for the main
349 hackage.haskell.org (other repos will use whatever they are
350 configured to use).
351 * Support for dependencies of custom Setup.hs scripts
352 (see http://www.well-typed.com/blog/2015/07/cabal-setup-deps/).
353 * 'cabal' program itself now can be used as an external setup
354 method. This fixes an issue when Cabal version mismatch caused
355 unnecessary reconfigures (#2633).
356 * Improved error message for unsatisfiable package constraints
357 (#2727).
358 * Fixed a space leak in 'cabal update' (#2826).
359 * 'cabal exec' and 'sandbox hc-pkg' now use the configured
360 compiler (#2859).
361 * New 'cabal haddock' option: '--for-hackage' (#2852).
362 * Added a warning when the solver cannot find a dependency (#2853).
363 * New 'cabal upload' option: '--doc': upload documentation to
364 hackage (#2890).
365 * Improved error handling for 'sandbox delete-source' (#2943).
366 * Solver support for extension and language flavours (#2873).
367 * Support for secure repos using hackage-security (#2983).
368 * Added a log file message similar to one printed by 'make' when
369 building in another directory (#2642).
370 * Added new subcommand 'init' to 'cabal user-config'. This
371 subcommand creates a cabal configuration file in either the
372 default location or as specified by --config-file (#2553).
373 * The man page for 'cabal-install' is now automatically generated
374 (#2877).
375 * The '--allow-newer' option now works as expected when specified
376 multiple times (#2588).
377 * New config file field: 'extra-framework-dirs' (extra locations
378 to find OS X frameworks in). Can be also specified as an argument
379 for 'install' and 'configure' commands (#3158).
380 * It's now possible to limit the scope of '--allow-newer' to
381 single packages in the install plan (#2756).
382 * Full '--allow-newer' syntax is now supported in the config file
383 (that is, 'allow-newer: base, ghc-prim, some-package:vector')
384 (#3171).
385 * Improved performance of '--reorder-goals' (#3208).
