cabal-install-3.10.2.0


cabal-install and cabal-install-solver 3.10.2.0 changelog and release notes

Release 3.10.2.0 is strictly a bug-fix release, with the fixes listed below

  • Fix parsing of password-command option #9002

    The password-command option did not parse its value correctly. Quotes were ignored, making many kinds of commands impossible to express (e.g. sh -c "foo | bar"). Also, cabal user-config treated the argument list as a list of option values, rather than a value that is a list. As a consequence, cabal user-config update corrupted the value in the config file.

    Fixed these issues by parsing the command as a space separated list of tokens (which may be enclosed in double quotes), and treating the parsed list-of-token as one value (not multiple).

  • Existence of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cabal/config now overrides existence of $HOME/.cabal #8577

    To avoid pre-XDG backwards compatibility from triggering due to other tools accidentally creating a HOME/.cabaldirectory, thepresenceofXDG_CONFIG_HOME/cabal/config now disables pre-XDG backwards compatibility. Presumably $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cabal/config will never be created by accident.

  • Shorten script-builds paths #8841 #8898

    • Use Base64 hash truncated to 26 chars for script-build cache directories.
    • Use the cache directory as the dist directory.
    • Use script- as the component name instead of cabal-script-<...>.
    • Use cabal-script- for the executable name.
    • This change is incompatible with previous cabal versions in terms of cache location, you should manually remove your old caches once you no longer need them.
  • Don't add extra-prog-path: ~/.local/bin when initially creating ~/.config/cabal/config #8951

  • Use compiler flags for caching project config #8819

    This ensures that cached project configs with conditionals re-execute the conditional logic when the compiler changes.

  • Fix default Nix configuration option in generated ~/.cabal/config file #8878

    Fixes the default for ~/.cabal/config file. The nix option should now be commented out by default.

  • add base to cabal install --lib default env file #8903

    This adds base by default to the env file created by cabal install --lib. Further it ensures that packagedbs have been created before adding them to the env file.

  • Do not check PVP on internal targets #8361 #9004

    • cabal check will not check for dependencies upper bounds in internal targets (i.e. test-suites and benchmarks)
  • Add new Hackage root keys to bootstrap set #9068

    The two new Hackage root keyholders were added to the bootstrap set.

    • Added Hackage root key for Joachim Breitner
    • Added Hackage root key for Mathieu Boespflug
