Cabal development is continuing at a furious pace. There are lots of great things in master that I'd like to get out to users, such as

 * relinking avoidance

 * build -j

 * ability to specify exact deps on the command line

 * haskell-suite compiler support

 * bug fixes

Here's an approximate list of commits (both Cabal and cabal-install) since the last release:

    https://github.com/haskell/cabal/compare/Cabal-v1.18.1.2...master

It's not entirely accurate as some patches were cherry-picked onto the 1.18 branch and thus have different commit IDs.
