The Haskell Tool Stack
Stack is a cross-platform program for developing Haskell projects. It is intended for Haskellers both new and experienced.
See haskellstack.org or the doc directory for more information.
Changes
Changelog
v1.7.1
Release notes:
- aarch64 (64-bit ARM) bindists are now available for the first time.
- Statically linked Linux bindists are no longer available, due to difficulty with GHC 8.2.2 on Alpine Linux.
- 32-bit Linux GMP4 bindists for CentOS 6 are no longer available, since GHC 8.2.2 is no longer being built for that platform.
Major changes:
- Upgrade from Cabal 2.0 to Cabal 2.2
Behavior changes:
stack setup
no longer uses different GHC configure options on Linux distributions that use GCC with PIE enabled by default. GHC detects this itself since ghc-8.0.2, and Stack’s attempted workaround for older versions caused more problems than it solved.stack new
no longer initializes a project if the project template contains a stack.yaml file.
Other enhancements:
- A new sub command
ls
has been introduced to stack to view local and remote snapshots present in the system. Usestack ls snapshots --help
to get more details about it. list-dependencies
has been deprecated. The functionality has to accessed through the newls dependencies
interface. See #3669 for details.- Specify User-Agent HTTP request header on every HTTP request. See #3628 for details.
stack setup
looks for GHC bindists and installations by any OS key that is compatible (rather than only checking a single one). This is relevant on Linux where different distributions may have different combinations of libtinfo 5/6, ncurses 5/6, and gmp 4/5, and will allow simpifying the setup-info metadata YAML for future GHC releases.- The build progress bar reports names of packages currently building.
stack setup --verbose
causes verbose output of GHC configure process. See #3716- Improve the error message when an
extra-dep
from a path or git reference can’t be found See #3808 - Nix integration is now disabled on windows even if explicitly enabled, since it isn’t supported. See #3600
stack build
now supports a new flag--keep-tmp-files
to retain intermediate files and directories for the purpose of debugging. It is best used with ghc’s equivalent flag, i.e.stack build --keep-tmp-files --ghc-options=-keep-tmp-files
. See #3857- Improved error messages for snapshot parse exceptions
stack unpack
now supports a--to /target/directory
option to specify where to unpack the package intostack hoogle
now supports a new flag--server
that launches local Hoogle server on port 8080. See #2310
Bug fixes:
- The script interpreter’s implicit file arguments are now passed before other
arguments. See #3658.
In particular, this makes it possible to pass
-- +RTS ... -RTS
to specify RTS arguments used when running the script. - Don’t ignore the template
year
parameter in config files, and clarify the surrounding documentation. See #2275. - Benchmarks used to be run concurrently with other benchmarks and build steps. This is non-ideal because CPU usage of other processes may interfere with benchmarks. It also prevented benchmark output from being displayed by default. This is now fixed. See #3663.
stack ghci
now allows loading multiple packages with the same module name, as long as they have the same filepath. See #3776.stack ghci
no longer always adds a dependency onbase
. It is now only added when there are no local targets. This allows it to be to load code that uses replacements forbase
. See #3589stack ghci
now uses correct paths for autogen files with #3791- When a package contained sublibraries, stack was always recompiling the package. This has been fixed now, no recompilation is being done because of sublibraries. See #3899.
- The
get-stack.sh
install script now matches manual instructions when it comes to Debian/Fedora/CentOS install dependencies. - Compile Cabal-simple with gmp when using Nix. See #2944
stack ghci
now replaces the stack process with ghci. This improves signal handling behavior. In particular, handling of Ctrl-C. To make this possible, the generated files are now left behind after exit. The paths are based on hashing file contents, and it’s stored in the system temporary directory, so this shouldn’t result in too much garbage. See #3821.
v1.6.5
Bug fixes:
- Some unnecessary rebuilds when no files were changed are now avoided, by having a separate build cache for each component of a package. See #3732.
- Correct the behavior of promoting a package from snapshot to local package. This would get triggered when version bounds conflicted in a snapshot, which could be triggered via Hackage revisions for old packages. This also should allow custom snapshots to define conflicting versions of packages without issue. See Stackage issue #3185.
- When promoting packages from snapshot to local, we were occassionally discarding the actual package location content and instead defaulting to pulling the package from the index. We now correctly retain this information. Note that if you were affected by this bug, you will likely need to delete the binary build cache associated with the relevant custom snapshot. See #3714.
--no-rerun-tests
has been fixed. Previously, after running a test we were forgetting to record the result, which meant that all tests always ran even if they had already passed before. See #3770.- Includes a patched version of
hackage-security
which fixes both some issues around asynchronous exception handling, and moves from directory locking to file locking, making the update mechanism resilient against SIGKILL and machine failure. See hackage-security #187 and #3073.
v1.6.3.1
Hackage-only release with no user facing changes (updated to build with newer version of hpack dependency).
v1.6.3
Enhancements:
- In addition to supporting
.tar.gz
and.zip
files as remote archives, plain.tar
files are now accepted too. This will additionally help with cases where HTTP servers mistakenly set the transfer encoding togzip
. See #3647. - Links to docs.haskellstack.org ignore Stack version patchlevel.
- Downloading Docker-compatible
stack
binary ignores Stack version patchlevel.
Bug fixes:
- For versions of Cabal before 1.24, ensure that the dependencies of non-buildable components are part of the build plan to work around an old Cabal bug. See #3631.
- Run the Cabal file checking in the
sdist
command more reliably by allowing the Cabal library to flatten theGenericPackageDescription
itself.
v1.6.1.1
Hackage-only release with no user facing changes (updated to build with newer dependency versions).
v1.6.1
Major changes:
- Complete overhaul of how snapshots are defined, the
packages
andextra-deps
fields, and a number of related items. For full details, please see the writeup on these changes. PR #3249, see the PR description for a number of related issues. - Upgraded to version 2.0 of the Cabal library.
Behavior changes:
- The
--install-ghc
flag is now on by default. For example, if you runstack build
in a directory requiring a GHC that you do not currently have, Stack will automatically download and install that GHC. You can explicitly setinstall-ghc: false
or pass the flag--no-install-ghc
to regain the previous behavior. stack ghci
no longer loads modules grouped by package. This is always an improvement for plain ghci - it makes loading faster and less noisy. For intero, this has the side-effect that it will no longer load multiple packages that depend on TH loading relative paths. TH relative paths will still work when loading a single package into intero. See #3309- Setting GHC options for a package via
ghc-options:
in yourstack.yaml
will promote it to a local package, providing for more consistency with flags and better reproducibility. See: #849 - The
package-indices
setting with Hackage no longer works with the00-index.tar.gz
tarball, but must use the01-index.tar.gz
file to allow revised packages to be found. - Options passed via
--ghci-options
are now passed to the end of the invocation of ghci, instead of the middle. This allows using+RTS
without an accompanying-RTS
. - When auto-detecting
--ghc-build
,tinfo6
is now preferred overstandard
if both versions of libtinfo are installed - Addition of
stack build --copy-compiler-tool
, to allow tools like intero to be installed globally for a particular compiler. #2643 - Stack will ask before saving hackage credentials to file. This new
prompt can be avoided by using the
save-hackage-creds
setting. Please see #2159. - The
GHCRTS
environment variable will no longer be passed through to every program stack runs. Instead, it will only be passed through commands likeexec
,runghc
,script
,ghci
, etc. See #3444. ghc-options:
for specific packages will now come after the options specified for all packages / particular sets of packages. See #3573.- The
pvp-bounds
feature is no longer fully functional, due to some issues with the Cabal library’s printer. See #3550.
Other enhancements:
- The
with-hpack
configuration option specifies an Hpack executable to use instead of the Hpack bundled with Stack. Please see #3179. - It’s now possible to skip tests and benchmarks using
--skip
flag GitSHA1
is nowStaticSHA256
and is implemented using theStaticSize 64 ByteString
for improved performance. See #3006- Dependencies via HTTP(S) archives have been generalized to allow local file path archives, as well as to support setting a cryptographic hash (SHA256) of the contents for better reproducibility.
- Allow specifying
--git-branch
when upgrading - When running
stack upgrade
from a file which is different from the default executable path (e.g., on POSIX systems,~/.local/bin/stack
), it will now additionally copy the new executable over the currently runningstack
executable. If permission is denied (such as in/usr/local/bin/stack
), the user will be prompted to try again usingsudo
. This is intended to assist with the user experience when thePATH
environment variable has not been properly configured, see #3232. stack setup
for ghcjs will now installalex
andhappy
if they are not present. See #3109.- Added
stack ghci --only-main
flag, to skip loading / importing all but main modules. See the ghci documentation page for further info. - Allow GHC’s colored output to show through. GHC colors output
starting with version 8.2.1, for older GHC this does nothing.
Sometimes GHC’s heuristics would work fine even before this change,
for example in
stack ghci
, but this override’s GHC’s heuristics when they’re broken by our collecting and processing GHC’s output. - Extended the
ghc-options
field to support$locals
,$targets
, and$everything
. See: #3329 - Better error message for case that
stack ghci
file targets are combined with invalid package targets. See: #3342 - For profiling now uses
-fprof-auto -fprof-cafs
instead of the deprecated-auto-all -caf-all
. See: #3360 - Better descriptions are now available for
stack upgrade --help
. See: #3070 - When using Nix, nix-shell now depends always on gcc to prevent build errors when using the FFI. As ghc depends on gcc anyway, this doesn’t increase the dependency footprint.
--cwd DIR
can now be passed tostack exec
in order to execute the program in a different directory. See: #3264- Plan construction will detect if you add an executable-only package as a library dependency, resulting in much clearer error messages. See: #2195.
- Addition of
--ghc-options
tostack script
to pass options directly to GHC. See: #3454 - Add hpack
package.yaml
to build Stack itself - Add
ignore-revision-mismatch
setting. See: #3520. - Log when each individual test suite finishes. See: #3552.
- Avoid spurious rebuilds when using
--file-watch
by not watching files for executable, test and benchmark components that aren’t a target. See: #3483. - Stack will now try to detect the width of the running terminal
(only on POSIX for the moment) and use that to better display
output messages. Work is ongoing, so some messages will not
be optimal yet. The terminal width can be overridden with the
new
--terminal-width
command-line option (this works even on non-POSIX). - Passing non local packages as targets to
stack ghci
will now cause them to be used as-package
args along with package hiding. - Detect when user changed .cabal file instead of package.yaml. This was implemented upstream in hpack. See #3383.
- Automatically run
autoreconf -i
as necessary when aconfigure
script is missing. See #3534 - GHC bindists can now be identified by their SHA256 checksum in addition to their SHA1 checksum, allowing for more security in download.
- For filesystem setup-info paths, it’s no longer assumed that the directory is writable, instead a temp dir is used. See #3188.
Bug fixes:
stack hoogle
correctly generates Hoogle databases. See: #3362stack --docker-help
is now clearer about –docker implying system-ghc: true, rather than both –docker and –no-docker.stack haddock
now includes package names for all modules in the Haddock index page. See: #2886- Fixed an issue where Stack wouldn’t detect missing Docker images properly with newer Docker versions. #3171
- Previously, cabal files with just test-suite could cause build to fail (#2862)
- If an invalid snapshot file has been detected (usually due to mismatched hashes), Stack will delete the downloaded file and recommend either retrying or filing an issue upstream. See #3319.
- Modified the flag parser within Stack to match the behavior of Cabal’s flag parser, which allows multiple sequential dashes. See #3345
- Now clears the hackage index cache if it is older than the downloaded index. Fixes potential issue if stack was interrupted when updating index. See #3033
- The Stack install script now respects the
-d
option. See #3366. stack script
can now handle relative paths to source files. See #3372.- Fixes explanation of why a target is needed by the build plan, when the target is an extra dependency from the commandline. See #3378.
- Previously, if you delete a yaml file from ~/.stack/build-plan, it would trust the etag and not re-download. Fixed in this version.
- Invoking
stack --docker
in parallel now correctly locks the sqlite database. See #3400. - docs.haskellstack.org RTD documentation search is replaced by the mkdocs search. Please see #3376.
stack clean
now works with nix. See #3468.stack build --only-dependencies
no longer builds local project packages that are depended on. See #3476.- Properly handle relative paths stored in the precompiled cache files. See #3431.
- In some cases, Cabal does not realize that it needs to reconfigure, and must be told to do so automatically. This would manifest as a “shadowed dependency” error message. We now force a reconfigure whenever a dependency is built, even if the package ID remained the same. See #2781.
- When
--pvp-bounds
is enabled for sdist or upload, internal dependencies could cause errors when uploaded to hackage. This is fixed, see #3290 - Fixes a bug where nonexistent hackage versions would cause stack to suggest the same package name, without giving version info. See #3562
- Fixes a bug that has existed since 1.5.0, where
stack setup --upgrade-cabal
would say that Cabal is already the latest version, when it wasn’t. - Ensure that an
extra-dep
from a local directory is not treated as a$locals
for GHC options purposes. See #3574. - Building all executables only happens once instead of every time. See #3229 for more info.
1.5.1
Bug fixes:
- Stack eagerly tries to parse all cabal files related to a
snapshot. Starting with Stackage Nightly 2017-07-31, snapshots are
using GHC 8.2.1, and the
ghc.cabal
file implicitly referenced uses the (not yet supported) Cabal 2.0 file format. Future releases of Stack will both be less eager about cabal file parsing and support Cabal 2.0. This patch simply bypasses the error for invalid parsing.
1.5.0
Behavior changes:
stack profile
andstack trace
now add their extra RTS arguments for benchmarks and tests to the beginning of the args, instead of the end. See #2399- Support for Git-based indices has been removed.
Other enhancements:
stack setup
allow to control options passed to ghcjs-boot with--ghcjs-boot-options
(one word at a time) and--[no-]ghcjs-boot-clean
stack setup
now accepts a--install-cabal VERSION
option which will install a specific version of the Cabal library globally.- Updates to store-0.4.1, which has improved performance and better error reporting for version tags. A side-effect of this is that all of stack’s binary caches will be invalidated.
stack solver
will now warn about unexpected cabal-install versions. See #3044- Upstream packages unpacked to a temp dir are now deleted as soon as
possible to avoid running out of space in
/tmp
. See #3018 - Add short synonyms for
test-arguments
andbenchmark-arguments
options. - Adds
STACK_WORK
environment variable, to specify work dir. See #3063 - Can now use relative paths for
extra-include-dirs
andextra-lib-dirs
. See #2830 - Improved bash completion for many options, including
--ghc-options
,--flag
, targets, and project executables forexec
. --haddock-arguments
is actually used now whenhaddock
is invoked during documentation generation.--[no-]haddock-hyperlink-source
flag added which allows toggling of sources being included in Haddock output. See #3099stack ghci
will now skip building all local targets, even if they have downstream deps, as long as it’s registered in the DB.- The pvp-bounds feature now supports adding
-revision
to the end of each value, e.g.pvp-bounds: both-revision
. This means that, when uploading to Hackage, Stack will first upload your tarball with an unmodified.cabal
file, and then upload a cabal file revision with the PVP bounds added. This can be useful—especially combined with the Stackage no-revisions feature—as a method to ensure PVP compliance without having to proactively fix bounds issues for Stackage maintenance. - Expose a
save-hackage-creds
configuration option - On GHC <= 7.8, filters out spurious linker warnings on windows See #3127
- Better error messages when creating or building packages which alias wired-in packages. See #3172.
- MinGW bin folder now is searched for dynamic libraries. See #3126
- When using Nix, nix-shell now depends always on git to prevent runtime errors while fetching metadata
- The
stack unpack
command now accepts a form where an explicit Hackage revision hash is specified, e.g.stack unpack foo-1.2.3@gitsha1:deadbeef
. Note that this should be considered experimental, Stack will likely move towards a different hash format in the future. - Binary “stack upgrade” will now warn if the installed executable is not on the PATH or shadowed by another entry.
- Allow running tests on tarball created by sdist and upload #717.
Bug fixes:
- Fixes case where
stack build --profile
might not cause executables / tests / benchmarks to be rebuilt. See #2984 stack ghci file.hs
now loads the file even if it isn’t part of your project.stack clean --full
now works when docker is enabled. See #2010- Fixes an issue where cyclic deps can cause benchmarks or tests to be run before they are built. See #2153
- Fixes
stack build --file-watch
in cases where a directory is removed See #1838 - Fixes
stack dot
andstack list-dependencies
to use info from the package database for wired-in-packages (ghc, base, etc). See #3084 - Fixes
stack --docker build
when user is part of libvirt/libvirtd groups on Ubuntu Yakkety (16.10). See #3092 - Switching a package between extra-dep and local package now forces rebuild (previously it wouldn’t if versions were the same). See #2147
stack upload
no longer reveals your password when you type it on MinTTY-based Windows shells, such as Cygwin and MSYS2. See #3142stack script
’s import parser will now properly parse files that have Windows-style line endings (CRLF)
1.4.0
Release notes:
- Docker images: fpco/stack-full and fpco/stack-run are no longer being built for LTS 8.0 and above. fpco/stack-build images continue to be built with a simplified process. #624
Major changes:
- A new command,
script
, has been added, intended to make the script interpreter workflow more reliable, easier to use, and more efficient. This command forces the user to provide a--resolver
value, ignores all config files for more reproducible results, and optimizes the existing package check to make the common case of all packages already being present much faster. This mode does require that all packages be present in a snapshot, however. #2805
Behavior changes:
-
The default package metadata backend has been changed from Git to the 01-index.tar.gz file, from the hackage-security project. This is intended to address some download speed issues from Github for people in certain geographic regions. There is now full support for checking out specific cabal file revisions from downloaded tarballs as well. If you manually specify a package index with only a Git URL, Git will still be used. See #2780
-
When you provide the
--resolver
argument to thestack unpack
command, any packages passed in by name only will be looked up in the given snapshot instead of taking the latest version. For example,stack --resolver lts-7.14 unpack mtl
will get version 2.2.1 ofmtl
, regardless of the latest version available in the package indices. This will also force the same cabal file revision to be used as is specified in the snapshot.Unpacking via a package identifier (e.g.
stack --resolver lts-7.14 unpack mtl-2.2.1
) will ignore any settings in the snapshot and take the most recent revision.For backwards compatibility with tools relying on the presence of a
00-index.tar
, Stack will copy the01-index.tar
file to00-index.tar
. Note, however, that these files are different; most importantly, 00-index contains only the newest revisions of cabal files, while 01-index contains all versions. You may still need to update your tooling. -
Passing
--(no-)nix-*
options now no longer implies--nix
, except for--nix-pure
, so that the user preference whether or not to use Nix is honored even in the presence of options that change the Nix behavior.
Other enhancements:
- Internal cleanup: configuration types are now based much more on lenses
stack build
and related commands now allow the user to disable debug symbol stripping with new--no-strip
,--no-library-stripping
, and--no-executable-shipping
flags, closing #877. Also turned error message for missing targets more readable (#2384)stack haddock
now shows index.html paths when documentation is already up to date. Resolved #781- Respects the
custom-setup
field introduced in Cabal 1.24. This supercedes anyexplicit-setup-deps
settings in yourstack.yaml
and trusts the package’s.cabal
file to explicitly state all its dependencies. - If system package installation fails,
get-stack.sh
will fail as well. Also shows warning suggesting to runapt-get update
or similar, depending on the OS. (#2898) - When
stack ghci
is run with a config with no packages (e.g. global project), it will now look for source files in the current work dir. (#2878) - Bump to hpack 0.17.0 to allow
custom-setup
and!include "..."
inpackage.yaml
. - The script interpreter will now output error logging. In particular, this means it will output info about plan construction errors. (#2879)
stack ghci
now takes--flag
and--ghc-options
again (inadvertently removed in 1.3.0). (#2986)stack exec
now takes--rts-options
which passes the given arguments inside of+RTS ... args .. -RTS
to the executable. This works around stack itself consuming the RTS flags on Windows. (#2640)- Upgraded
http-client-tls
version, which now offers support for thesocks5://
andsocks5h://
values in thehttp_proxy
andhttps_proxy
environment variables.
Bug fixes:
- Bump to hpack 0.16.0 to avoid character encoding issues when reading and writing on non-UTF8 systems.
stack ghci
will no longer ignore hsSourceDirs that contain..
. (#2895)stack list-dependencies --license
now works for wired-in-packages, like base. (#2871)stack setup
now correctly indicates when it uses system ghc (#2963)- Fix to
stack config set
, in 1.3.2 it always applied to the global project. (#2709) - Previously, cabal files without exe or lib would fail on the “copy” step. (#2862)
stack upgrade --git
now works properly. Workaround for affected versions (>= 1.3.0) is to instead runstack upgrade --git --source-only
. (#2977)- Added support for GHC 8’s slightly different warning format for dumping warnings from logs.
- Work around a bug in Cabal/GHC in which package IDs are not unique for different source code, leading to Stack not always rebuilding packages depending on local packages which have changed. (#2904)
1.3.2
Bug fixes:
stack config set
can now be used without a compiler installed #2852.get-stack.sh
now installs correct binary on ARM for generic linux and raspbian, closing #2856.- Correct the testing of whether a package database exists by checking
for the
package.cache
file itself instead of the containing directory. - Revert a change in the previous release which made it impossible to set local extra-dep packages as targets. This was overkill; we really only wanted to disable their test suites, which was already handled by a later patch. #2849
stack new
always treats templates as being UTF-8 encoding, ignoring locale settings on a local machine. See Yesod mailing list discussion
1.3.0
Release notes:
- For the next stack release after this one, we are planning
changes to our Linux releases, including dropping our Ubuntu,
Debian, CentOS, and Fedora package repositories and switching to
statically linked binaries. See
#2534.
Note that upgrading without a package manager has gotten easier
with new binary upgrade support in
stack upgrade
(see the Major Changes section below for more information). In addition, the get.haskellstack.org script no longer installs from Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, or Fedora package repositories. Instead it places a generic binary in /usr/local/bin.
Major changes:
-
Stack will now always use its own GHC installation, even when a suitable GHC installation is available on the PATH. To get the old behaviour, use the
--system-ghc
flag or runstack config set system-ghc --global true
. Docker- and Nix-enabled projects continue to use the GHC installations in their environment by default.NB: Scripts that previously used stack in combination with a system GHC installation should now include a
stack setup
line or use the--install-ghc
flag. #2221 -
stack ghci
now defaults to skipping the build of target packages, because support has been added for invoking “initial build steps”, which create autogen files and run preprocessors. The--no-build
flag is now deprecated because it should no longer be necessary. See #1364 -
Stack is now capable of doing binary upgrades instead of always recompiling a new version from source. Running
stack upgrade
will now default to downloading a binary version of Stack from the most recent release, if one is available. Seestack upgrade --help
for more options. #1238
Behavior changes:
-
Passing
--resolver X
with a Stack command which forces creation of a global project config, will pass resolver X into the initial config. See #2579. -
Switch the “Run from outside project” messages to debug-level, to avoid spamming users in the normal case of non-project usage
-
If a remote package is specified (such as a Git repo) without an explicit
extra-dep
setting, a warning is given to the user to provide one explicitly.
Other enhancements:
stack haddock
now supports--haddock-internal
. See #2229- Add support for
system-ghc
andinstall-ghc
fields tostack config set
command. - Add
ghc-build
option to override autodetected GHC build to use (e.g. gmp4, tinfo6, nopie) on Linux. stack setup
detects systems where gcc enables PIE by default (such as Ubuntu 16.10 and Hardened Gentoo) and adjusts the GHCconfigure
options accordingly. #2542- Upload to Hackage with HTTP digest instead of HTTP basic.
- Make
stack list-dependencies
understand all of thestack dot
options too. - Add the ability for
stack list-dependencies
to list dependency licenses by passing the--license
flag. - Dump logs that contain warnings for any local non-dependency packages #2545
- Add the
dump-logs
config option and--dump-logs
command line option to get full build output on the console. #426 - Add the
--open
option to “stack hpc report” command, causing the report to be opened in the browser. - The
stack config set
command now accepts a--global
flag for suitable fields which causes it to modify the global user configuration (~/.stack/config.yaml
) instead of the project configuration. #2675 - Information on the latest available snapshots is now downloaded from S3 instead of stackage.org, increasing reliability in case of stackage.org outages. #2653
stack dot
andstack list-dependencies
now take targets and flags. #1919- Deprecate
stack setup --stack-setup-yaml
for--setup-info-yaml
based on discussion in #2647. - The
--main-is
flag for GHCI now implies the TARGET, fixing #1845. stack ghci
no longer takes all build options, as many weren’t useful #2199--no-time-in-log
option, to make verbose logs more diffable #2727--color
option added to override auto-detection of ANSI support #2725- Missing extra-deps are now warned about, adding a degree of typo detection #1521
- No longer warns about missing build-tools if they are on the PATH. #2235
- Replace enclosed-exceptions with safe-exceptions. #2768
- The install location for GHC and other programs can now be configured with the
local-programs-path
option inconfig.yaml
. #1644 - Added option to add nix dependencies as nix GC roots
- Proper pid 1 (init) process for
stack exec
with Docker - Dump build logs if they contain warnings. #2545
- Docker: redirect stdout of
docker pull
to stderr so that it will not interfere with output of other commands. - Nix & docker can be activated at the same time, in order to run stack in a nix-shell in a container, preferably from an image already containing the nix dependencies in its /nix/store
- Stack/nix: Dependencies can be added as nix GC roots, so they are not removed
when running
nix-collect-garbage
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a gnarly bug where programs and package tarballs sometimes have corrupted downloads. See #2657.
- Add proper support for non-ASCII characters in file paths for the
sdist
command. See #2549 - Never treat
extra-dep
local packages as targets. This ensures things like test suites are not run for these packages, and that build output is not hidden due to their presence. - Fix a resource leak in
sinkProcessStderrStdout
which could affect much of the codebase, in particular copying precompiled packages. #1979 - Docker: ensure that interrupted extraction process does not cause corrupt file when downloading a Docker-compatible Stack executable #2568
- Fixed running
stack hpc report
on package targets. #2664 - Fix a long-standing performance regression where stack would parse the .dump-hi files of the library components of local packages twice. #2658
- Fixed a regression in “stack ghci –no-load”, where it would prompt for a main module to load. #2603
- Build Setup.hs files with the threaded RTS, mirroring the behavior of cabal-install and enabling more complex build systems in those files.
- Fixed a bug in passing along
--ghc-options
to ghcjs. They were being provided as--ghc-options
to Cabal, when it needs to be--ghcjs-options
. #2714 - Launch Docker from the project root regardless of the working
directory Stack is invoked from. This means paths relative to the project root
(e.g. environment files) can be specified in
stack.yaml
’s dockerrun-args
. stack setup --reinstall
now behaves as expected. #2554
1.2.0
Release notes:
-
On many Un*x systems, Stack can now be installed with a simple one-liner:
wget -qO- https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh
-
The fix for #2175 entails that stack must perform a full clone of a large Git repo of Hackage meta-information. The total download size is about 200 MB. Please be aware of this when upgrading your stack installation.
-
If you use Mac OS X, you may want to delay upgrading to macOS Sierra as there are reports of GHC panics when building some packages (including Stack itself). See #2577
-
This version of Stack does not build on ARM or PowerPC systems (see store#37). Please stay with version 1.1.2 for now on those architectures. This will be rectified soon!
-
We are now releasing a statically linked Stack binary for 64-bit Linux. Please try it and let us know if you run into any trouble on your platform.
-
We are planning some changes to our Linux releases, including dropping our Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and Fedora package repositories and switching to statically linked binaries. We would value your feedback in #2534.
Major changes:
- Add
stack hoogle
command. #55 - Support for absolute file path in
url
field ofsetup-info
or--ghc-bindist
- Add support for rendering GHCi scripts targeting different GHCi like applications #2457
Behavior changes:
- Remove
stack ide start
andstack ide load-targets
commands. #2178 - Support .buildinfo files in
stack ghci
. #2242 - Support -ferror-spans syntax in GHC error messages.
- Avoid unpacking ghc to
/tmp
#996 - The Linux
gmp4
GHC bindist is no longer considered a full-fledged GHC variant and can no longer be specified using theghc-variant
option, and instead is treated more like a slightly different platform.
Other enhancements:
- Use the
store
package for binary serialization of most caches. - Only require minor version match for Docker stack exe. This way, we can make patch releases for version bounds and similar build issues without needing to upload new binaries for Docker.
- Stack/Nix: Passes the right ghc derivation as an argument to the
shell.nix
when a customshell.nix
is used See #2243 - Stack/Nix: Sets
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
so packages using C libs for Template Haskell can work (See e.g. this HaskellR issue) - Parse CLI arguments and configuration files into less permissive types, improving error messages for bad inputs. #2267
- Add the ability to explicitly specify a gcc executable. #593
- Nix: No longer uses LTS mirroring in nixpkgs. Gives to nix-shell a derivation
like
haskell.compiler.ghc801
See #2259 - Perform some subprocesses during setup concurrently, slightly speeding up most commands. #2346
stack setup
no longer unpacks to the system temp dir on posix systems. #996stack setup
detects libtinfo6 and ncurses6 and can download alternate GHC bindists #257 #2302.stack setup
detects Linux ARMv7 downloads appropriate GHC bindist #2103- Custom
stack
binaries list dependency versions in output for--version
. See #2222 and #2450. - Use a pretty printer to output dependency resolution errors. #1912
- Remove the
--os
flag #2227 - Add ‘netbase’ and ‘ca-certificates’ as dependency for .deb packages. #2293.
- Add
stack ide targets
command. - Enhance debug logging with subprocess timings.
- Pretty-print YAML parse errors #2374
- Clarify confusing
stack setup
output #2314 - Delete
Stack.Types
multimodule to improve build times #2405 - Remove spurious newlines in build logs #2418
- Interpreter: Provide a way to hide implicit packages #1208
- Check executability in exec lookup #2489
Bug fixes:
- Fix cabal warning about use of a deprecated cabal flag #2350
- Support most executable extensions on Windows #2225
- Detect resolver change in
stack solver
#2252 - Fix a bug in docker image creation where the wrong base image was selected #2376
- Ignore special entries when unpacking tarballs #2361
- Fixes src directory pollution of
style.css
andhighlight.js
with GHC 8’s haddock #2429 - Handle filepaths with spaces in
stack ghci
#2266 - Apply ghc-options to snapshot packages #2289
- stack sdist: Fix timestamp in tarball #2394
- Allow global Stack arguments with a script #2316
- Inconsistency between ToJSON and FromJSON instances of PackageLocation #2412
- Perform Unicode normalization on filepaths #1810
- Solver: always keep ghc wired-in as hard constraints #2453
- Support OpenBSD’s tar where possible, require GNU tar for xz support #2283
- Fix using –coverage with Cabal-1.24 #2424
- When marking exe installed, remove old version #2373
- Stop truncating all-cabal-hashes git repo #2175
- Handle non-ASCII filenames on Windows #2491
- Avoid using multiple versions of a package in script interpreter by passing package-id to ghc/runghc #1957
- Only pre-load compiler version when using nix integration #2459
- Solver: parse cabal errors also on Windows #2502
- Allow exec and ghci commands in interpreter mode.
Scripts can now automatically open in the repl by using
exec ghci
instead ofrunghc
in the shebang command. #2510 - Now consider a package to be dirty when an extra-source-file is changed. See #2040
1.1.2
Release notes:
- Official FreeBSD binaries are now available #1253.
Major changes:
- Extensible custom snapshots implemented. These allow you to define snapshots which extend other snapshots. See #863. Local file custom snapshots can now be safely updated without changing their name. Remote custom snapshots should still be treated as immutable.
Behavior changes:
stack path --compiler
was added in the last release, to yield a path to the compiler. Unfortunately,--compiler
is a global option that is useful to use withstack path
. The same functionality is now provided bystack path --compiler-exe
. See #2123- For packages specified in terms of a git or hg repo, the hash used in the location has changed. This means that existing downloads from older stack versions won’t be used. This is a side-effect of the fix to #2133
stack upgrade
no longer pays attention to local stack.yaml files, just the global config and CLI options. #1392stack ghci
now uses:add
instead of:load
, making it potentially work better with user scripts. See #1888
Other enhancements:
- Grab Cabal files via Git SHA to avoid regressions from Hackage revisions #2070
- Custom snapshots now support
ghc-options
. - Package git repos are now re-used rather than re-cloned. See #1620
DESTDIR
is filtered from environment when installing GHC. See #1460stack haddock
now supports--hadock-arguments
. See #2144- Signing: warn if GPG_TTY is not set as per
man gpg-agent
Bug fixes:
- Now ignore project config when doing
stack init
orstack new
. See #2110 - Packages specified by git repo can now have submodules. See #2133
- Fix of hackage index fetch retry. See re-opening of #1418
- HPack now picks up changes to filesystem other than package.yaml. See #2051
- “stack solver” no longer suggests –omit-packages. See #2031
- Fixed an issue with building Cabal’s Setup.hs. See #1356
- Package dirtiness now pays attention to deleted files. See #1841
stack ghci
now usesextra-lib-dirs
andextra-include-dirs
. See #1656- Relative paths outside of source dir added via
qAddDependentFile
are now checked for dirtiness. See #1982 - Signing: always use
--with-fingerprints
1.1.0
Release notes:
- Added Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) Apt repo.
- No longer uploading new versions to Fedora 21 repo.
Behavior changes:
- Snapshot packages are no longer built with executable profiling. See #1179.
stack init
now ignores symlinks when searching for cabal files. It also now ignores any directory that begins with.
(as well asdist
dirs) - before it would only ignore.git
,.stack-work
, anddist
.- The stack executable is no longer built with
-rtsopts
. Before, when-rtsopts
was enabled, stack would process+RTS
options even when intended for some other program, such as when used withstack exec -- prog +RTS
. See #2022. - The
stack path --ghc-paths
option is deprecated and renamed to--programs
.--compiler
is added, which points directly at the compiler used in the current project.--compiler-bin
points to the compiler’s bin dir. - For consistency with the
$STACK_ROOT
environment variable, thestack path --global-stack-root
flag and theglobal-stack-root
field in the output ofstack path
are being deprecated and replaced with thestack-root
flag and output field. Additionally, the stack root can now be specified via the--stack-root
command-line flag. See #1148. stack sig
GPG-related sub-commands were removed (folded intoupload
andsdist
)- GPG signing of packages while uploading to Hackage is now the default. Use
upload --no-signature
if you would rather not contribute your package signature. If you don’t yet have a GPG keyset, read this blog post on GPG keys. We can add a stack.yaml config setting to disable signing if some people desire it. We hope that people will sign. Later we will be adding GPG signature verification options. stack build pkg-1.2.3
will now build even if the snapshot has a different package version - it is treated as an extra-dep.stack build local-pkg-1.2.3
is an error even if the version number matches the local package #2028.- Having a
nix:
section no longer implies enabling nix build. This allows the user to globally configure whether nix is used (unless the project overrides the default explicitly). See #1924. - Remove deprecated valid-wanted field.
- Docker: mount home directory in container #1949.
- Deprecate
--local-bin-path
instead--local-bin
. stack image
: allow absolute source paths foradd
.
Other enhancements:
stack haddock --open [PACKAGE]
opens the local haddocks in the browser.- Fix too much rebuilding when enabling/disabling profiling flags.
stack build pkg-1.0
will now buildpkg-1.0
even if the snapshot specifies a different version (it introduces a temporary extra-dep)- Experimental support for
--split-objs
added #1284. git
packages with submodules are supported by passing the--recursive
flag togit clone
.- When using hpack, only regenerate cabal files when hpack files change.
- hpack files can now be used in templates
stack ghci
now runs ghci as a separate process #1306- Retry when downloading snapshots and package indices
- Many build options are configurable now in
stack.yaml
:
build:
library-profiling: true
executable-profiling: true
haddock: true
haddock-deps: true
copy-bins: true
prefetch: true
force-dirty: true
keep-going: true
test: true
test-arguments:
rerun-tests: true
additional-args: ['-fprof']
coverage: true
no-run-tests: true
bench: true
benchmark-opts:
benchmark-arguments: -O2
no-run-benchmarks: true
reconfigure: true
cabal-verbose: true
- A number of URLs are now configurable, useful for firewalls. See #1794.
- Suggest causes when executables are missing.
- Allow
--omit-packages
even without--solver
. - Improve the generated stack.yaml.
- Improve ghci results after :load Main module collision with main file path.
- Only load the hackage index if necessary #1883, #1892.
- init: allow local packages to be deps of deps #1965.
- Always use full fingerprints from GPG #1952.
- Default to using
gpg2
and fall back togpg
#1976. - Add a flag for –verbosity silent.
- Add
haddock --open
flag #1396.
Bug fixes:
- Package tarballs would fail to unpack. #1884.
- Fixed errant warnings about missing modules, after deleted and removed from cabal file #921 #1805.
- Now considers a package to dirty when the hpack file is changed #1819.
- Nix: cancelling a stack build now exits properly rather than dropping into a nix-shell #1778.
allow-newer: true
now causes--exact-configuration
to be passed to Cabal. See #1579.stack solver
no longer fails withInvalidRelFile
for relative package paths including..
. See #1954.- Ignore emacs lock files when finding .cabal #1897.
- Use lenient UTF-8 decode for build output #1945.
- Clear index cache whenever index updated #1962.
- Fix: Building a container image drops a .stack-work dir in the current working (sub)directory #1975.
- Fix: Rebuilding when disabling profiling #2023.
1.0.4.3
Bug fixes:
- Don’t delete contents of ~/.ssh when using
stack clean --full
with Docker enabled #2000
1.0.4.2
Build with path-io-1.0.0. There are no changes in behaviour from 1.0.4, so no binaries are released for this version.
1.0.4.1
Fixes build with aeson-0.11.0.0. There are no changes in behaviour from 1.0.4, so no binaries are released for this version.
1.0.4
Major changes:
- Some notable changes in
stack init
:- Overall it should now be able to initialize almost all existing cabal packages out of the box as long as the package itself is consistently defined.
- Choose the best possible snapshot and add extra dependencies on top of a snapshot resolver rather than a compiler resolver - #1583
- Automatically omit a package (
--omit-packages
) when it is compiler incompatible or when there are packages with conflicting dependency requirements - #1674. - Some more changes for a better user experience. Please refer to the doc guide for details.
- Add support for hpack, alternative package description format #1679
Other enhancements:
- Docker: pass ~/.ssh and SSH auth socket into container, so that git repos work #1358.
- Docker: strip suffix from docker –version. #1653
- Docker: pass USER and PWD environment variables into container.
- On each run, stack will test the stack root directory (~/.stack), and the
project and package work directories (.stack-work) for whether they are
owned by the current user and abort if they are not. This precaution can
be disabled with the
--allow-different-user
flag orallow-different-user
option in the global config (~/.stack/config.yaml). #471 - Added
stack clean --full
option for full working dir cleanup. - YAML config: support Zip archives.
- Redownload build plan if parsing fails #1702.
- Give mustache templates access to a ‘year’ tag #1716.
- Have “stack ghci” warn about module name aliasing.
- Add “stack ghci –load-local-deps”.
- Build Setup.hs with -rtsopts #1687.
stack init
accepts a list of directories.- Add flag infos to DependencyPlanFailures (for better error output in case of flags) #713
stack new --bare
complains for overwrites, and add--force
option #1597.
Bug fixes:
- Previously,
stack ghci
would fail withcannot satisfy -package-id
when the implicit build step changes the package key of some dependency. - Fix: Building with ghcjs: “ghc-pkg: Prelude.chr: bad argument: 2980338” #1665.
- Fix running test / bench with
--profile
/--trace
. - Fix: build progress counter is no longer visible #1685.
- Use “-RTS” w/ profiling to allow extra args #1772.
- Fix withUnpackedTarball7z to find name of srcDir after unpacking
(fixes
stack setup
fails for ghcjs project on windows) #1774. - Add space before auto-generated bench opts (makes profiling options work uniformly for applications and benchmark suites) #1771.
- Don’t try to find plugin if it resembles flag.
- Setup.hs changes cause package dirtiness #1711.
- Send “stack templates” output to stdout #1792.
1.0.2
Release notes:
- Arch Linux: Stack has been adopted into the official community repository, so we will no longer be updating the AUR with new versions. See the install/upgrade guide for current download instructions.
Major changes:
stack init
andsolver
overhaul #1583
Other enhancements:
- Disable locale/codepage hacks when GHC >=7.10.3 #1552
- Specify multiple images to build for
stack image container
docs - Specify which executables to include in images for
stack image container
docs - Docker: pass supplementary groups and umask into container
- If git fetch fails wipe the directory and try again from scratch #1418
- Warn if newly installed executables won’t be available on the PATH #1362
- stack.yaml: for
stack image container
, specify multiple images to generate, and which executables should be added to those images - GHCI: add interactive Main selection #1068
- Care less about the particular name of a GHCJS sdist folder #1622
- Unified Enable/disable help messaging #1613
Bug fixes:
- Don’t share precompiled packages between GHC/platform variants and Docker #1551
- Properly redownload corrupted downloads with the correct file size. Mailing list discussion
- Gracefully handle invalid paths in error/warning messages #1561

--resolver
on the command-line. #1641 - Fix: Stack does not allow using an external package from ghci #1557
- Disable ambiguous global ‘–resolver’ option for ‘stack init’ #1531
- Obey
--no-nix
flag - Fix: GHCJS Execute.hs: Non-exhaustive patterns in lambda #1591
- Send file-watch and sticky logger messages to stderr #1302 #1635
- Use globaldb path for querying Cabal version #1647
1.0.0
Release notes:
- We’re calling this version 1.0.0 in preparation for Stackage LTS 4. Note, however, that this does not mean the code’s API will be stable as this is primarily an end-user tool.
Enhancements:
- Added flag
--profile
flag: passed withstack build
, it will enable profiling, and for--bench
and--test
it will generate a profiling report by passing+RTS -p
to the executable(s). Great for using likestack build --bench --profile
(remember that enabling profile will slow down your benchmarks by >4x). Runstack build --bench
again to disable the profiling and get proper speeds - Added flag
--trace
flag: just like--profile
, it enables profiling, but instead of generating a report for--bench
and--test
, prints out a stack trace on exception. Great for using likestack build --test --trace
- Nix: all options can be overridden on command line #1483
- Nix: build environments (shells) are now pure by default.
- Make verbosity silent by default in script interpreter mode #1472
- Show a message when resetting git commit fails #1453

can download templates from URL #1466
Bug fixes:
- Nix: stack exec options are passed properly to the stack sub process #1538
- Nix: specifying a shell-file works in any current working directory #1547
- Nix: use
--resolver
argument - Docker: fix missing image message and ‘–docker-auto-pull’
- No HTML escaping for “stack new” template params #1475
- Set permissions for generated .ghci script #1480
- Restrict commands allowed in interpreter mode #1504

- All test suites run even when only one is requested #1550
- Edge cases in broken templates give odd errors #1535
- Fix test coverage bug on windows
0.1.10.1
Bug fixes:
stack image container
did not actually build an image #1473
0.1.10.0
Release notes:
- The Stack home page is now at haskellstack.org, which shows the documentation rendered by readthedocs.org. Note: this has necessitated some changes to the links in the documentation’s markdown source code, so please check the links on the website before submitting a PR to fix them.
- The locations of the
Ubuntu
and
Debian
package repositories have changed to have correct URL semantics according to
Debian’s guidelines
#1378. The old
locations will continue to work for some months, but we suggest that you
adjust your
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/fpco.list
to the new location to avoid future disruption. - openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise packages are now available, thanks to @mimi1vx. Note: there will be some lag before these pick up new versions, as they are based on Stackage LTS.
Major changes:

now detects and warns about various circumstances where it is liable to fail. See #1270- Added
require-docker-version
configuration option - Packages will now usually be built along with their tests and benchmarks. See #1166
- Relative
local-bin-path
paths will be relative to the project’s root directory, not the current working directory. #1340 stack clean

0.1.6.0
Major changes:
stack setup
now supports building and booting GHCJS from source tarball.- On Windows, build directories no longer display “pretty” information (like x86_64-windows/Cabal-1.22.4.0), but rather a hash of that content. The reason is to avoid the 260 character path limitation on Windows. See #1027
- Rename config files and clarify their purposes #969
~/.stack/stack.yaml
–>~/.stack/config.yaml
~/.stack/global
–>~/.stack/global-project
/etc/stack/config
–>/etc/stack/config.yaml
- Old locations still supported, with deprecation warnings
- New command “stack eval CODE”, which evaluates to “stack exec ghc – -e CODE”.
Other enhancements:
- No longer install
git
on Windows #1046. You can still get this behavior by running the following yourself:stack exec -- pacman -Sy --noconfirm git
. - Typing enter during –file-watch triggers a rebuild #1023
- Use Haddock’s
--hyperlinked-source
(crosslinked source), if available #1070 - Use Stack-installed GHCs for
stack init --solver
#1072 - New experimental
stack query
command #1087 - By default, stack no longer rebuilds a package due to GHC options changes. This behavior can be tweaked with the
rebuild-ghc-options
setting. #1089 - By default, ghc-options are applied to all local packages, not just targets. This behavior can be tweaked with the
apply-ghc-options
setting. #1089 - Docker: download or override location of stack executable to re-run in container #974
- Docker: when Docker Engine is remote, don’t run containerized processes as host’s UID/GID #194
- Docker:
set-user
option to enable/disable running containerized processes as host’s UID/GID #194 - Custom Setup.hs files are now precompiled instead of interpreted. This should be a major performance win for certain edge cases (biggest example: building Cabal itself) while being either neutral or a minor slowdown for more common cases.
stack test --coverage
now also generates a unified coverage report for multiple test-suites / packages. In the unified report, test-suites can contribute to the coverage of other packages.
Bug fixes:
- Ignore stack-built executables named
ghc
#1052 - Fix quoting of output failed command line arguments
- Mark executable-only packages as installed when copied from cache #1043
- Canonicalize temporary directory paths #1047
- Put code page fix inside the build function itself #1066
- Add
explicit-setup-deps
option #1110, and change the default to the old behavior of using any package in the global and snapshot database #1025 - Precompiled cache checks full package IDs on Cabal < 1.22 #1103
- Pass -package-id to ghci #867
- Ignore global packages when copying precompiled packages #1146
0.1.5.0
Major changes:
- On Windows, we now use a full MSYS2 installation in place of the previous PortableGit. This gives you access to the pacman package manager for more easily installing libraries.
- Support for custom GHC binary distributions #530
ghc-variant
option in stack.yaml to specify the variant (also--ghc-variant
command-line option)setup-info
in stack.yaml, to specify where to download custom binary distributions (also--ghc-bindist
command-line option)- Note: On systems with libgmp4 (aka
libgmp.so.3
), such as CentOS 6, you may need to re-runstack setup
due to the centos6 GHC bindist being treated like a variant
- A new
--pvp-bounds
flag to the sdist and upload commands allows automatic adding of PVP upper and/or lower bounds to your dependencies
Other enhancements:
- Adapt to upcoming Cabal installed package identifier format change #851
stack setup
takes a--stack-setup-yaml
argument--file-watch
is more discerning about which files to rebuild for #912stack path
now supports--global-pkg-db
and--ghc-package-path
--reconfigure
flag #914 #946- Cached data is written with a checksum of its structure #889
- Fully removed
--optimizations
flag - Added
--cabal-verbose
flag - Added
--file-watch-poll
flag for polling instead of using filesystem events (useful for running tests in a Docker container while modifying code in the host environment. When code is injected into the container via a volume, the container won’t propagate filesystem events). - Give a preemptive error message when
-prof
is given as a GHC option #1015 - Locking is now optional, and will be turned on by setting the
STACK_LOCK
environment variable totrue
#950 - Create default stack.yaml with documentation comments and commented out options #226
- Out of memory warning if Cabal exits with -9 #947
Bug fixes:
- Hacky workaround for optparse-applicative issue with
stack exec --help
#806 - Build executables for local extra deps #920
- copyFile can’t handle directories #942
- Support for spaces in Haddock interface files fpco/minghc#85
- Temporarily building against a “shadowing” local package? #992
- Fix Setup.exe name for –upgrade-cabal on Windows #1002
- Unlisted dependencies no longer trigger extraneous second build #838
0.1.4.1
Fix stack’s own Haddocks. No changes to functionality (only comments updated).
0.1.4.0
Major changes:
- You now have more control over how GHC versions are matched, e.g. “use exactly this version,” “use the specified minor version, but allow patches,” or “use the given minor version or any later minor in the given major release.” The default has switched from allowing newer later minor versions to a specific minor version allowing patches. For more information, see #736 and #784.
- Support added for compiling with GHCJS
- stack can now reuse prebuilt binaries between snapshots. That means that, if you build package foo in LTS-3.1, that binary version can be reused in LTS-3.2, assuming it uses the same dependencies and flags. #878
Other enhancements:
- Added the
--docker-env
argument, to set environment variables in Docker container. - Set locale environment variables to UTF-8 encoding for builds to avoid “commitBuffer: invalid argument” errors from GHC #793
- Enable transliteration for encoding on stdout and stderr #824
- By default,
stack upgrade
automatically installs GHC as necessary #797 - Added the
ghc-options
field to stack.yaml #796 - Added the
extra-path
field to stack.yaml - Code page changes on Windows only apply to the build command (and its synonyms), and can be controlled via a command line flag (still defaults to on) #757
- Implicitly add packages to extra-deps when a flag for them is set #807
- Use a precompiled Setup.hs for simple build types #801
- Set –enable-tests and –enable-benchmarks optimistically #805
--only-configure
option added #820- Check for duplicate local package names
- Stop nagging people that call
stack test
#845 --file-watch
will ignore files that are in your VCS boring/ignore files #703- Add
--numeric-version
option
Bug fixes:
stack init --solver
fails ifGHC_PACKAGE_PATH
is present #860stack solver
andstack init --solver
check for test suite and benchmark dependencies #862- More intelligent logic for setting UTF-8 locale environment variables #856
- Create missing directories for
stack sdist
- Don’t ignore .cabal files with extra periods #895
- Deprecate unused
--optimizations
flag - Truncated output on slow terminals #413

- –force-dirty flag: Force treating all local packages as having dirty files (useful for cases where stack can’t detect a file change)
- GHC error messages: display file paths as absolute instead of relative for better editor integration
- Add the
--copy-bins
option #569 - Give warnings on unexpected config keys #48
