Module documentation for 0.36.1

Changes

Changes in 0.36.1

  • Allow Cabal-3.12.*
  • Support base >= 4.20.0 (Imports does not re-export Data.List.List)

Changes in 0.36.0

  • Don’t infer Paths_-module with spec-version: 0.36.0 or later

Changes in 0.35.5

  • Add (undocumented) list command

Changes in 0.35.4

  • Add --canonical, which can be used to produce canonical output instead of trying to produce minimal diffs
  • Avoid unnecessary writes on --force (see #555)
  • When an existing .cabal does not align fields then do not align fields in the generated .cabal file.
  • Fix a bug related to git conflict markers in existing .cabal files: When a .cabal file was essentially unchanged, but contained git conflict markers then hpack did not write a new .cabal file at all. To address this hpack now unconditionally writes a new .cabal file when the existing .cabal file contains any git conflict markers.

Changes in 0.35.3

  • Depend on crypton instead of cryptonite

Changes in 0.35.2

  • Add support for ghc-shared-options

Changes in 0.35.1

  • Allow Cabal-3.8.*
  • Additions to internal API

Changes in 0.35.0

  • Add support for language (thanks @mpilgrem)
  • Accept Cabal names for fields where Hpack and Cabal use different terminology, but still warn (e.g. accept hs-source-dirs as an alias for source-dirs)

Changes in 0.34.7

  • Support Cabal-3.6.*
  • Make sure that verbatim import fields are rendered at the beginning of a section (see #486)

Changes in 0.34.6

  • Add Paths_ module to autogen-modules when cabal-version >= 2

Changes in 0.34.5

  • Compatibility with aeson-2.*

Changes in 0.34.4

  • Render default-extensions / other-extensions line-separated
  • Compatibility with Cabal-3.4.0.0

Changes in 0.34.3

  • Ignore duplicate source directories (see #356)
  • Do not infer duplicate modules (see #408, #406, #353)
  • Reject empty then / else sections (see #362)
  • Omit conditionals that are always false from generated .cabal file (see #404)
  • Infer correct cabal-version when Paths_ is used with RebindableSyntax and OverloadedStrings or OverloadedLists (see #400)

Changes in 0.34.2

Changes in 0.34.0 (deprecated)

  • Use PreferNoHash as default GenerateHashStrategy
  • Add support for library visibility (see #382)
  • Reject URLs for github

Changes in 0.33.1

  • Add GenerateHashStrategy. The default is PreferHash for 0.33.0 and will change to PreferNoHash with 0.34.0. See https://github.com/sol/hpack/pull/390) for details.

  • Add command-line options --hash and --no-hash

Changes in 0.33.0.1

  • Silently ignore missing hash when the cabal file content didn’t change at all (for forward compatibility with #390)

Changes in 0.33.0

  • Support GHC 8.8.1: fail is no longer a part of Monad. Instead, it lives in the MonadFail class. Adapting our code to this change meant changing the types of exporting functions, unfortunately, hence the major version bump.

Changes in 0.32.0

  • Support Cabal 3.0
  • Switch reexported-modules to comma-separated list

Changes in 0.31.2

  • Add default value for maintainer (see #339)
  • Escape commas and spaces in filenames when generating cabal files

Changes in 0.31.1

  • Show the header when printing to stdout (see #331)
  • Add help for --numeric-version(see #337)

Changes in 0.31.0

  • Add mixin to the fields read by dependencies when they are objects (see #318)

Changes in 0.30.0

  • Warn on duplicate fields (see #283)
  • Always render cabal-version as x.y instead of >= x.y so that cabal check does not complain (see #322)
  • Extend build-tools so that it subsumes Cabal’s build-tools and build-tool-depends (see #254)
  • Add support for system-build-tools
  • Keep declaration order for literal files in c-sources (and other fields that accept glob patterns). This is crucial as a workaround for https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13786 (see #324)

Changes in 0.29.7

  • Expose more stuff from Hpack.Yaml so that it can be used by third parties

Changes in 0.29.4

  • Desugar ^>= when dependency is a string (see #309)
  • Add support for Apache, MPL and ISC when inferring license (see #305)

Changes in 0.29.3

  • Desugar ^>= for compatibility with Cabal < 2 (see #213)
  • Add support for GPL, LGPL and AGPL when inferring license (see #305)

Changes in 0.29.2

  • Add missing extra-source-files (see #302)

Changes in 0.29.1

  • Infer license from license-file

Changes in 0.29.0

  • Put the cabal-version at the beginning of the generated file. This Is required with cabal-version: 2.1 and higher. (see #292)

  • GHC 8.4.1 compatibility

Changes in 0.28.0

  • Add support for cxx-options and cxx-sources (see #205)
  • Add support for data-dir (see #100)
  • Generate valid .cabal files when verbatim is used top-level (see #280)

Changes in 0.27.0

  • Local defaults are now resolved relative to the file they are mentioned in, not the CWD that hpack is invoked from.

Changes in 0.26.0

  • Major refactoring of the exposed API (much cleaner now, but lot’s of breaking changes!)

  • Allow local files to be used as defaults (#248)

Changes in 0.25.0

  • Keep non-existing literal files on glob expansion (see #101)

  • Corrected cabal-version setting for reexported-modules inside a conditional.

Changes in 0.22.0

  • Add support for defaults
  • Add --numeric-version
  • Add support for signatures
  • extra-doc-files requires setting cabal-version to at least 1.18; this is now done properly.
  • Accept bool for condition (see #230)

Changes in 0.21.2

  • Fix a bug in module inference for conditionals (see #236)
