## Current Affairs (tickets and PRs of interests) * Use response files for ghc invocations #9367: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9367 * PackageInfo functionality is not guarded behind cabal-version. #9331 : https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/9331 * We have to be more careful in the future to guard new functionality behind the cabal-version field of the file format. * Terminology: Internal libraries are out, sublibraries are in! This is the terminology that was already used in several blog posts, and as such we must unify the vocabulary: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9371 * The exact-print parser topic has been raised from the dead once again, and the situation is that many people seem to be interested in pursuing experiments that cannot be realistically included in the cabal parsing infrastructure. Due to the extreme sensitivity of the subject, a proposal will have to go through the Technical Working Group before it's approved, so that development can be smoother. * lib:Cabal 3.10.2.1 has been released, with relaxed restrictions on the contents of the c-sources stanza in the cabal file format. ## Summer of Code 2023 Suganya has landed the last PR to convert cabal errors to error codes. Further documentation work is needed but the main goal has been reached. Congratulations Suganya! ## Food for thought Hécate: Bodigrim suggests that 3.10 could be kept on life support in order to provide interfaces that we are trying to get rid of (namely v1- commands, Custom setups, etc). See original comment: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9107#issuecomment-1773927473 *Conclusion: It's been decided that this would be too burdensome, and we lack the resources to do such a thing.*
