Module documentation for 0.35.0

Changes

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)
  • Do not use indentation from any existing .cabal file if it is invalid (e.g. 0) (fixes #252)
  • Accept lists for tested-with (see #407)
  • Render current directory as ./ instead of ./. for forward compatibility with future version of Cabal

Changes in 0.34.2

  • Accept subcomponents as dependencies (close #382)

Changes in 0.34.1

  • Fix a bug in github: ... introduced with 0.34.0 (f63eb19b956517b4dd8e28dc5785be5889a99298)

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)
  • hpack now returns with a successful exit code if the .cabal file is up to date, even if it was generated by a newer version of hpack.

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 0.29.6

  • Add spec-version (see #300)

Changes in 0.29.5

  • Fix a regression related to indentation sniffing (close #310)

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)
  • With cabal-version: 2.1 or higher omit >= when rendering (see #292)
  • Require cabal-version: 2.2 when SPDX license identifiers are used (see #292)
  • Map cabal-style licenses to SPDX license identifiers when cabal-version is 2.2 or higher (see #292)

Changes in 0.28.2

  • Exit with exitFailure on AlreadyGeneratedByNewerHpack or ExistingCabalFileWasModifiedManually in Hpack.printResult

Changes in 0.28.1

  • 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!)
  • Remove Git conflict markers before checking the hash of any existing .cabal files (equivalent to git checkout --ours). This allows to regenerate the .cabal file on conflicts when rebasing without passing -f in some cases and helps with preserving the formatting.
  • Allow local files to be used as defaults (#248)

Changes in 0.25.0

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

Changes in 0.23.0

  • Add support for custom decoders to allow for alternate syntax (e.g. Dhall)
  • generated-exposed-modules and generated-other-modules, for populating the autogen-modules field (#207).
  • 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)
  • Add support for extra-doc-files.
  • Add support for pkg-config-dependencies

Changes in 0.21.1

  • Allow dependency constraints to be numbers (see #234)

Changes in 0.21.0

  • Accept section-specific fields in conditionals (see #175, thanks to Scott Fleischman)
