Hello Haskell,
The Cabal team is excited to announce the release of `Cabal-3.6.2.0`, and
`cabal-install-3.6.2.0`.
## Changelog for `Cabal-3.6.2.0` and `cabal-install-3.6.2.0`
This is the fifth release of the 3.0 release series for both packages. This
minor version release introduces a set of fixes for some regressions seen when
the tool interacts with `autoconf`, as well as some fixes for regressions to
the way Paths_ modules interact with non-standard preludes:
- Making Paths_ modules work with non-standard preludes again [#5962](
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/5962 )
- Generate Paths_ module with qualified Data.List.last import so that
compatibility with non-standard preludes is not regressed compared to cabal 3.4.
- Windows: redo the fix to breakage caused by new autoconf; the wrong fix made
cabal sometimes fail with old autoconf [#7494](
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7494 ) [#7649](
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7649 )
- Reverts #7510 that failed on Windows when used with pre-generated scripts
included in packages such as network, time, process.
- Adds a subtler fix/workaround for the deficiencies of new autoconf versions
on Windows.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**: The last bug affects configuration files generated with
`autoconf-2.70` or later. They will not work with `cabal-3.4.0.0`. Please
either upgrade to `3.4.1.0` or the new `3.6.2.0` releases.
I'd like to thank the many contributors who offered patches, tickets, and other
help in the preparation of this release. We appreciate all of your help!
Happy hacking!
