ANN: stack-0.1.8.0

20 Nov 2015

      New version released of Stack, a build tool.

See README
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/tree/release#how-to-install
for installation and upgrade instructions.

There are now Windows installers available: download them here
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/blob/release/doc/install_and_upgr....
In addition, new Fedora 23 packages are available here
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/blob/release/doc/install_and_upgr...
.

Note that, starting with v0.1.8.0, releases of Stack will always have an
even-numbered second-to-last version component. Odd second-to-last version
components are reserved for unstable builds.

Major changes:

   - GHCJS can now be used with stackage snapshots via the new compiler
   field.
   - Docker integration works with non-FP Complete generated images
   #531 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/531

Other enhancements:

   - Added an allow-newer config option
   #922 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/922
   #770 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/770
   - When a Hackage revision invalidates a build plan in a snapshot, trust
   the
   snapshot #770 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/770
   - Added a stack config set resolver RESOLVER command. Part of work on
   #115 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/115
   - stack setup can now install GHCJS on windows. See
   #1145 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1145 and
   #749 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/749
   - stack hpc report command added, which generates reports for HPC tix
   files
   - stack ghci now accepts all the flags accepted by stack build. See
   #1186 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1186
   - stack ghci builds the project before launching GHCi. If the build
   fails,
   optimistically launch GHCi anyway. Use stack ghci --no-build option to
   disable #1065 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1065
   - stack ghci now detects and warns about various circumstances where it
   is
   liable to fail. See
   #1270 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1270
   - Added require-docker-version configuration option
   - Packages will now usually be built along with their tests and
   benchmarks. See
   #1166 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1166
   - Relative local-bin-path paths will be relative to the project’s root
   directory, not the current working directory.
   #1340 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1340
   - stack clean now takes an optional [PACKAGE] argument for use in
   multi-package projects. See
   #583 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/583
   - Ignore cabal_macros.h as a dependency
   #1195 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1195
   - Pad timestamps and show local time in —verbose output
   #1226 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1226
   - GHCi: Import all modules after loading them
   #995 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/995
   - Add subcommand aliases: repl for ghci, and runhaskell for runghc
   #1241 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1241
   - Add typo recommendations for unknown package identifiers
   #158 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/158
   - Add stack path --local-hpc-root option
   - Overhaul dependencies’ haddocks copying
   #1231 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1231
   - Support for extra-package-dbs in ‘stack ghci’
   #1229 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/pull/1229
   - stack new disallows package names with “words” consisting solely of
   numbers
   #1336 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1336
   - stack build --fast turns off optimizations

Bug fixes:

   - Fix: Haddocks not copied for dependencies
   #1105 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1105
   - Fix: Global options did not work consistently after subcommand
   #519 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/519
   - Fix: ‘stack ghci’ doesn’t notice that a module got deleted
   #1180 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1180
   - Rebuild when cabal file is changed
   - Fix: Paths in GHC warnings not canonicalized, nor those for packages in
   subdirectories or outside the project root
   #1259 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/1259
   - Fix: unlisted files in tests and benchmarks trigger extraneous second
   build
   #838 https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/838
