* 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.

Thanks to all contributors! I am enjoying the speedup :) Cheers, Vanessa McHale

Dear all,

cabal-install: The command-line interface for Cabal and Hackage. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install-3.12.1.0 Cabal: A framework for packaging Haskell software https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Cabal-3.12.1.0 Cabal-syntax: A library for working with .cabal files https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Cabal-syntax-3.12.1.0 cabal-install-solver: The command-line interface for Cabal and Hackage. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install-solver-3.12.1.0 The binaries for cabal-install are available on our website https://downloads.haskell.org/cabal/cabal-install-3.12.1.0/ and can be installed via GHCup manually, e.g.:

Linux x86_64 (static, alpine3_18): ghcup --no-cache install cabal -u 'https://downloads.haskell.org/cabal/cabal-install-3.12.1.0/cabal-install-3.1...' 3.12.1.0 MacOS AArch64: ghcup --no-cache install cabal -u 'https://downloads.haskell.org/cabal/cabal-install-3.12.1.0/cabal-install-3.1...' 3.12.1.0 Windows: ghcup --no-cache install cabal -u 'https://downloads.haskell.org/cabal/cabal-install-3.12.1.0/cabal-install-3.1...' 3.12.1.0 or a similar command for your platform using the binaries provided on the website as usual, cabal update && cabal install cabal-install-3.12.1.0 is an option too. We expect the official GHCup channel to be updated with the 3.12.1.0 binaries soon.

https://discourse.haskell.org/t/cabal-install-3-12-1-0-and-accompanying-libr...What is new

Performance

Significant speedups during cabal startup due to use of the latest tar Project Organization

Support for asm, cmm, and js sources in executable components Support for per-component builds when coverage is enabled Haskell files in explicit source directories take precedence over autogenerated Haskell files Fix precedence for PATH for build-tools-depends (executables from PATH don’t shadow executables from build-tool-depends anymore) UX

Errors now have error codes, which will be documented on https://errors.haskell.org https://errors.haskell.org/ A new subcommand, cabal path, which can be used to get information about the paths cabal will use within a project Support for authentication tokens for uploading to Hackage --(test-)show-details=direct is now the default Shorten solver rejection messages by removing repetition Show provenance of project constraints Interaction with GHC

Support for loading multiple components into one repl session Support for the --semaphore flag to enable interaction with GHC Job Server protocol Support for GHC2024 Support for language extensions ExtendedLiterals¸ ListTuplePuns, and TypeAbstractions Other Compilers

Micro Haskell (MHS) has been added as a known compiler. We don’t have support for driving it yet, though. See the release notes https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/release-notes/cabal-install-3.1... for more details and other changes.
