I'm pleased to announce the long-awaited new release of cabal-install-0.14.0
If you are already using cabal-install then you can upgrade both using: $ cabal update $ cabal install Cabal cabal-install New users you can get it from: http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html For users on unix systems there is a source tarball with a bootstrap script. For users on Windows systems there is a pre-compiled cabal.exe (The Windows binary hasn't really been tested yet. Feedback welcome.) Release notes ============= cabal-install-0.14.0 -------------------- Changes since 0.10.2: * Works with ghc-7.4 * Completely new modular dependency solver (default in most cases) * Some tweaks to old topdown dependency solver * Install plans are now checked for reinstalls that break packages * Flags --constraint and --preference work for nonexisting packages * New constraint forms for source and installed packages * New constraint form for package-specific use flags * New constraint form for package-specific stanza flags * Test suite dependencies are pulled in on demand * No longer install packages on --enable-tests when tests fail * New "cabal bench" command * Various "cabal init" tweaks Future plans ------------ There will probably be another incremental 0.14.2 release in the not too distant future, followed by an 0.16.0 release that should work with ghc-7.6.
