stack v2.3.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-04-29 // almost 4 years ago

  • ⬆️ See https://haskellstack.org/ for installation and upgrade instructions.

    🚀 Release notes:

    🚀 We have reduced the number of platforms that we support with binary releases.
    🚀 The reason behind this is that we've been slowed down in our release process
    🏗 until now with issues trying to build binaries for less common platforms. In
    👍 order to make sure we can address issues more quickly (like supporting new
    👍 GHC versions), we're limiting support from the Stack team to:

    • Linux 64-bit (static)
    • macOS
    • Windows 64-bit

    If others want to provide additional binaries, we will definitely be happy
    👷 for the support. But since our CI system is currently able to produce these
    🚀 three bindists only, that's what we will be providing with the next release.

    🐧 Since we no longer have dynamically linked Linux binaries, we are removing
    🐧 removing the -static suffix from the static Linux binaries. If you have
    ⚡️ scripts to download the latest stable Linux binary, update them to use
    🐧 linux-x86_64 instead of linux-x86_64-static (if you are already using the
    🚀 former, nothing needs to change). For this release, both are supported, but
    🚀 the next release will no longer have the -static variant.

    🗄 We are also deprecating the download links at https://stackage.org/stack.
    👀 See this page for the current installation instructions:
    https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/.

    ✅ These are the canonical locations to download the latest stable binaries
    👍 from, and will continue to be supported going forward:

    As always, binaries for specific versions are available from the Github
    🚀 releases: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/releases.

    🔄 Changes since v2.1.3.1

    Major changes:

    🔧 setup-info-locations yaml configuration now allows overwriting the default locations of stack-setup-2.yaml.
    #5031
    #2983
    #2913

    🔧 The setup-info configuration key now allows overwriting parts of the default setup-info

    🏗 The --setup-info-yaml command line flag now may be used in all stack commands such as stack build, and not only in stack setup

    The --setup-info-yaml may specify multiple locations for stack-setup.yaml files.

    👉 The stack upload can read first reads environment Variable $HACKAGE_USERNAME and $HACKAGE_PASSWORD if they are missing only then asks for username or password

    🚚 Fully remove GHCJS support.

    ✂ Remove the freeze command. It has been replaced by lock files.

    Behavior changes:

    ✂ Remove the deprecated --stack-setup-yaml command line argument in favor of --setup-info-yaml
    #2647

    🔒 We now recommend checking in generated cabal files for repos. When generating lock files for
    📦 extra-deps that only include package.yaml files, a deprecation warning will be generated.
    🔒 Also, those packages will no longer be included in the generated lock files.
    👀 See #5210.

    Other enhancements:

    ➕ Add build-output-timestamps flag in yaml. Setting it to true
    🏗 prefixes each build log output line with a timestamp.

    🏁 Show warning about local-programs-path with spaces on windows
    👀 when running scripts. See
    #5013

    ➕ Add ls dependencies json which will print dependencies as JSON.
    👀 ls dependencies --tree is now ls dependencies tree. See
    #4424

    ✂ Remove warning for using Stack with GHC 8.8-8.10, and Cabal 3.0-3.2.

    👍 Allow relative paths in --setup-info-yaml and tool paths
    #3394

    ➕ Added the --only-locals flag. See
    #5272

    🐛 Bug fixes:

    ⬆️ Upgrade pantry: module mapping insertions into the database are now atomic.
    Previously, if you SIGTERMed at the wrong time while running a script, you
    could end up with an inconsistent database state.

    --resolver global doesn't retrieve snapshots list from the internet
    👀 beause doesn't need it. See #5103

    🛠 Fix using relative links in haddocks output. See
    #4971.

    🔒 Do not include generated cabal file information in lock files. See
    #5045.

    👀 Use proper Hoogle executable path when installed automatically. See
    #4905

    🛠 Fix GHC version for batched package unregistration. See
    #4951

    👀 Use Hoogle from the snapshot used and not the latest version. See
    #4905

    👀 Resolve "'stty' is not recognized". See
    #4901
