1.6.0.0

1.6.0.0

Time for a new and exciting hls release:

• It includes three brand new plugins:
  • Alternate number literals thanks to @drsooch
  • Qualify imported names thanks to @eddiemundo
  • New plugin to support selection range (aka double click text selection) thanks to @kokobd
• Finally hls supports ghc 9.2.1
  • Including core features and many plugins
  • Thanks to a great collective effort coordinated by @pepeiborra and with the help of @wz1000, @mpickering and @alanz among others
• Hls now also supports ghc 9.0.2 with all plugins but the stylish-haskell formatter
  • Including the wingman plugin thanks to @isovector and @anka-213
• And many many fixes and performance improvements, thanks to all contributors!

Deprecation notice for 1.6.0

• As we noted in the previous release we have dropped support for ghc versions 8.10.5 and 8.8.3 in this release
  • We recommend upgrading ghc to the last minor version: 8.8.4 or 8.10.7
  • You can read more about ghc deprecation policy and schedule here
• After this release:
  • We will remove all project stack.yaml's but two: one for last lts and other for nightly. Temporary we could keep one more stack yaml when nightly upgrades the ghc version, to help in the transition
  • We will remove the install script which lives here
    • If you want to install hls from source we recommend using ghcup. Download it and run ghcup compile hls --help to get more info about.
