-*-change-log-*-
1.25.x.x (current development version)
* Dropped support for versions of GHC earlier than 6.12 (#3111).
* GHC compatibility window for the Cabal library has been extended
to five years (#3838).
* Convenience/internal libraries are now supported (#269).
An internal library is declared using the stanza "library
'libname'". Packages which use internal libraries can
result in multiple registrations; thus '--gen-pkg-config'
can now output a directory of registration scripts rather than
a single file.
* Backwards incompatible change to preprocessor interface:
the function in 'PPSuffixHandler' now takes an additional
'ComponentLocalBuildInfo' specifying the build information
of the component being preprocessed.
* Backwards incompatible change to 'cabal_macros.h' (#1893): we now
generate a macro file for each component which contains only
information about the direct dependencies of that component.
Consequently, 'dist/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h' contains
only the macros for the library, and is not generated if a
package has no library; to find the macros for an executable
named 'foobar', look in 'dist/build/foobar/autogen/cabal_macros.h'.
Similarly, if you used 'autogenModulesDir' you should now
use 'autogenComponentModulesDir', which now requires a
'ComponentLocalBuildInfo' argument as well in order to
disambiguate which component the autogenerated files are for.
* Backwards incompatible change to 'Component': 'TestSuite' and
'Benchmark' no longer have 'testEnabled' and
'benchmarkEnabled'. If you used
'enabledTests' or 'enabledBenchmarks', please instead use
'enabledTestLBIs' and 'enabledBenchLBIs'
(you will need a 'LocalBuildInfo' for these functions.)
Additionally, the semantics of 'withTest' and 'withBench'
have changed: they now iterate over all buildable
such components, regardless of whether or not they have
been enabled; if you only want enabled components,
use 'withTestLBI' and 'withBenchLBI'.
'finalizePackageDescription' is deprecated:
its replacement 'finalizePD' now takes an extra argument
'ComponentRequestedSpec' which specifies what components
are to be enabled: use this instead of modifying the
'Component' in a 'GenericPackageDescription'. (As
it's not possible now, 'finalizePackageDescription'
will assume tests/benchmarks are disabled.)
If you only need to test if a component is buildable
(i.e., it is marked buildable in the Cabal file)
use the new function 'componentBuildable'.
* Backwards incompatible change to 'PackageName' (#3896):
'PackageName' is now opaque; conversion to/from 'String' now works
via (old) 'unPackageName' and (new) 'mkPackageName' functions.
* Backwards incompatible change to 'ComponentId' (#3917):
'ComponentId' is now opaque; conversion to/from 'String' now works
via 'unComponentId' and 'mkComponentId' functions.
* Backwards incompatible change to 'AbiHash' (#3921):
'AbiHash' is now opaque; conversion to/from 'String' now works
via 'unAbiHash' and 'mkAbiHash' functions.
* Backwards incompatible change to 'Version' (#3905):
Version is now opaque; conversion to/from '[Int]' now works
via 'versionNumbers' and 'mkVersion' functions.
* Add support for `--allow-older` (dual to `--allow-newer`) (#3466)
* Improved an error message for process output decoding errors
(#3408).
* 'getComponentLocalBuildInfo', 'withComponentsInBuildOrder'
and 'componentsInBuildOrder' are deprecated in favor of a
new interface in "Distribution.Types.LocalBuildInfo".
* New 'autogen-modules' field. Modules that are built automatically at
setup, like Paths_PACKAGENAME or others created with a build-type
custom, appear on 'other-modules' for the Library, Executable,
Test-Suite or Benchmark stanzas or also on 'exposed-modules' for
libraries but are not really on the package when distributed. This
makes commands like sdist fail because the file is not found, so with
this new field modules that appear there are treated the same way as
Paths_PACKAGENAME was and there is no need to create complex build
hooks. Just add the module names on 'other-modules' and
'exposed-modules' as always and on the new 'autogen-modules' besides.
(#3656).
* New './Setup configure' flag '--cabal-file', allowing multiple
.cabal files in a single directory (#3553). Primarily intended for
internal use.
* Macros in 'cabal_macros.h' are now ifndef'd, so that they
don't cause an error if the macro is already defined. (#3041)
* './Setup configure' now accepts a single argument specifying
the component to be configured. The semantics of this mode
of operation are described in
<https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/4>
* Internal 'build-tools' dependencies are now added to PATH
upon invocation of GHC, so that they can be conveniently
used via `-pgmF`. (#1541)
* Add support for new caret-style version range operator `^>=` (#3705)
* Verbosity `-v` now takes an extended format which allows
specifying exactly what you want to be logged. The format is
"[silent|normal|verbose|debug] flags", where flags is a space
separated list of flags. At the moment, only the flags
+callsite and +callstack are supported; these report the
call site/stack of a logging output respectively (these
are only supported if Cabal is built with GHC 8.0/7.10.2
or greater, respectively).
* New `Distribution.Utils.ShortText.ShortText` type for representing
short text strings compactly (#3898)
1.24.0.0 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> March 2016
* Support GHC 8.
* Deal with extra C sources from preprocessors (#238).
* Include cabal_macros.h when running c2hs (#2600).
* Don't recompile C sources unless needed (#2601).
* Read 'builddir' option from 'CABAL_BUILDDIR' environment variable.
* Add '--profiling-detail=$level' flag with a default for libraries
and executables of 'exported-functions' and 'toplevel-functions'
respectively (GHC's '-fprof-auto-{exported,top}' flags) (#193).
* New 'custom-setup' stanza to specify setup deps. Setup is also built
with the cabal_macros.h style macros, for conditional compilation.
* Support Haddock response files (#2746).
* Fixed a bug in the Text instance for Platform (#2862).
* New 'setup haddock' option: '--for-hackage' (#2852).
* New --show-detail=direct; like streaming, but allows the test
program to detect that is connected to a terminal, and works
reliable with a non-threaded runtime (#2911, and serves as a
work-around for #2398)
* Library support for multi-instance package DBs (#2948).
* Improved the './Setup configure' solver (#3082, #3076).
* The '--allow-newer' option can be now used with './Setup
configure' (#3163).
* Added a way to specify extra locations to find OS X frameworks
in ('extra-framework-dirs'). Can be used both in .cabal files and
as an argument to './Setup configure' (#3158).
* Macros 'VERSION_$pkgname' and 'MIN_VERSION_$pkgname' are now
also generated for the current package. (#3235).
* Backpack is supported! Two new fields supported in Cabal
files: signatures and backpack-includes; and a new flag
to setup scripts, '--instantiate-with'. See
https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpack.rst
for more details.

0.4 Isaac Jones <ijones@syntaxpolice.org> Sun Jan 16 2005
* Much thanks to all the awesome fptools hackers who have been
working hard to build the Haskell Cabal!
* Interface Changes:
** WARNING: this is a pre-release and the interfaces are still
likely to change until we reach a 1.0 release.
** Instead of Package.description, you should name your
description files <something>.cabal. In particular, we suggest
that you name it <packagename>.cabal, but this is not enforced
(yet). Multiple .cabal files in the same directory is an error,
at least for now.
** ./setup install --install-prefix is gone. Use ./setup copy
--copy-prefix instead.
** The "Modules" field is gone. Use "hidden-modules",
"exposed-modules", and "executable-modules".
** Build-depends is now a package-only field, and can't go into
executable stanzas. Build-depends is a package-to-package
relationship.
** Some new fields. Use the Source.
* New Features
** Cabal is now included as a package in the CVS version of
fptools. That means it'll be released as "-package Cabal" in
future versions of the compilers, and if you are a bleeding-edge
user, you can grab it from the CVS repository with the compilers.
** Hugs compatibility and NHC98 compatibility should both be
improved.
** Hooks Interface / Autoconf compatibility: Most of the hooks
interface is hidden for now, because it's not finalized. I have
exposed only "defaultMainWithHooks" and "defaultUserHooks". This
allows you to use a ./configure script to preprocess
"foo.buildinfo", which gets merged with "foo.cabal". In future
releases, we'll expose UserHooks, but we're definitely going to
change the interface to those. The interface to the two functions
I've exposed should stay the same, though.
** ./setup haddock is a baby feature which pre-processes the
source code with hscpp and runs haddock on it. This is brand new
and hardly tested, so you get to knock it around and see what you
think.
** Some commands now actually implement verbosity.
** The preprocessors have been tested a bit more, and seem to work
OK. Please give feedback if you use these.
0.3 Isaac Jones <ijones@syntaxpolice.org> Sun Jan 16 2005
* Unstable snapshot release
* From now on, stable releases are even.
0.2 Isaac Jones <ijones@syntaxpolice.org>
* Adds more HUGS support and preprocessor support.
