Hey Henning, cabal-install-solver was split out in 2021 and was first released with cabal-install 3.8, as you can see on its Hackage page [3]. The commit doing the split [1] and the corresponding PR don't have much discussion but the initial issue (2016!) has some [2]. I opened an issue to track the slip with the synopsis that you point out [4]. Contributions are welcome! Thanks for your interest in cabal, and thanks everybody for the warming words! Please, don't hesitate to submit issues on our GitHub if anything comes up. [1] https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/54696c14986d29aed03a101e5faabf1b7280...

The cabal release team brings you the release of the cabal-install tool, version 3.12.1.0. This is the first release of the tool in the 3.12 series, and, hence, the first cabal-install supporting Cabal 3.12 packaged with GHC 9.10.1. We also update the three main libraries.
* cabal-install: The command-line interface for Cabal and Hackage. * Cabal: A framework for packaging Haskell software * Cabal-syntax: A library for working with .cabal files * cabal-install-solver: The command-line interface for Cabal and Hackage.
The last one sounds interesting, though the synopsis equals the one of cabal-install.
