cabal-install-3.10.3.0


cabal-install and cabal-install-solver 3.10.3.0 changelog and release notes

Release 3.10.3.0 is strictly a bug-fix release, with the fixes listed below

  • PkgConfig individual calls #9134

    • cabal invokes pkg-config individually for each lib if querying for all doesn't return the expected result
  • 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.

  • Make check recognise TypeAbstractions #9496 #9503

    • cabal check will not complain about “Unknown extension” when finding TypeAbstractions.
  • check: add PackageInfo warning #9331 #9525

    cabal check will warn about PackageInfo_* modules and provide an upgrade path to 3.12.

  • Fix extra-prog-path propagation #7649 #9519 #9527

    • extra-prog-paths are now propagated to all commands. This in particular helps when running a MinGW cabal in the PowerShell, where the MSYS2 paths are usually not available in the PowerShell PATH. GHCup already sets them up for us but they were sometimes lost on the way.
  • fix pkgconfig-depends for pkgconf-1.9 #8923 #9391

  • Ignore invalid Unicode in pkg-config descriptions #9608 #9609

    Previously, cabal-install would crash when pkg-config --list-all contained invalid Unicode. With this change, invalid unicode in package descriptions is ignored, and unparseable package names are considered nonexistent.

  • Script cache dir is the base16 hash of the canonical path of the script. #9459

    Script cache dir is the base16 hash of the canonical path of the script.

  • Fix run command environment #8391 #9341

    • The Run command will now add binary paths of dependencies (build-tool-depends) to PATH, just like Exec and Test commands.
