stack v1.6.3 Release Notes

  • โœจ Enhancements:

    • ๐Ÿ‘ 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 to gzip. See #3647.
    • ๐Ÿ”— Links to docs.haskellstack.org ignore Stack version patchlevel.
    • ๐Ÿณ Downloading Docker-compatible stack binary ignores Stack version patchlevel.

    ๐Ÿ› 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.
    • โš™ Run the Cabal file checking in the sdist command more reliably by allowing the Cabal library to flatten the GenericPackageDescription itself.
