Call for Talks: Haskell Implementors' Workshop 2024
by Matthew Pickering 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

``` ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Implementors' Workshop https://icfp24.sigplan.org/home/hiw-2024 Milan, Italy, September 2, 2024 Co-located with ICFP 2024 https://icfp24.sigplan.org/ ``` ## Important dates * Deadline: July 19, 2024 (AoE) * Notification: August 2, 2024 * Workshop: September 2, 2024 The 16th Haskell Implementors’ Workshop is to be held alongside ICFP 2024 this year in Milan. It is a forum for people involved in the design and development of Haskell implementations, tools, libraries, and supporting infrastructure to share their work and to discuss future directions and collaborations with others. Talks and/or demos are proposed by submitting an abstract, and selected by a small program committee. There will be no published proceedings. The workshop will be informal and interactive, with open spaces in the timetable and room for ad-hoc discussion, demos, and lightning talks. ## Scope and Target Audience It is important to distinguish the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop from the Haskell Symposium which is also co-located with ICFP 2024. The Haskell Symposium is for the publication of Haskell-related research. In contrast, the Haskell Implementors’ Workshop will have no proceedings – although we will aim to make talk videos, slides, and presented data available with the consent of the speakers. The Implementors’ Workshop is an ideal place to describe a Haskell extension, describe works-in-progress, demo a new Haskell-related tool, or even propose future lines of Haskell development. Members of the wider Haskell community are encouraged to attend the workshop – we need your feedback to keep the Haskell ecosystem thriving. Students working with Haskell are especially encouraged to share their work. The scope covers any of the following topics. There may be some topics that people feel we’ve missed, so by all means submit a proposal even if it doesn’t fit exactly into one of these buckets: * Compilation techniques * Language features and extensions * Type system implementation * Concurrency and parallelism: language design and implementation * Performance, optimization and benchmarking * Virtual machines and run-time systems * Libraries and tools for development or deployment ## Talks We invite proposals from potential speakers for talks and demonstrations. We are aiming for 20-minute talks with 5 minutes for questions and changeovers. We want to hear from people writing compilers, tools, or libraries, people with cool ideas for directions in which we should take the platform, proposals for new features to be implemented, and half-baked crazy ideas. Please submit a talk title and abstract of no more than 300 words. Submissions can be made via HotCRP at https://hiw2024.hotcrp.com until July 19 (anywhere on earth). We will also have a lightning talks session. These have been very well received in recent years, and we aim to increase the time available to them. Lightning talks should be ~7mins and are scheduled on the day of the workshop. Suggested topics for lightning talks are to present a single idea, a work-in-progress project, a problem to intrigue and perplex Haskell implementors, or simply to ask for feedback and collaborators. ## Program Committee * Matthew Pickering (Well-Typed LLP) * David Binder (University of Tübingen) * Gabriella Gonzalez (Mercury) * Sylvain Henry (IOG) * Teofil Camarasu (Tracsis) ## Contact * Matthew Pickering

The conference will be hosted in Pasadena, California, United States on October 20-21, 2024. https://www.sleconf.org/2024/ https://2024.splashcon.org/track/sle-2024 Follow us on X: https://x.com/sleconf --------------------------- Topics of Interest --------------------------- SLE covers software language engineering in general, rather than engineering a specific software language. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Software Language Design and Implementation - Approaches to and methods for language design - Static semantics (e.g., design rules, well-formedness constraints) - Techniques for specifying behavioral/executable semantics - Generative approaches (incl. code synthesis, compilation) - Meta-languages, meta-tools, language workbenches * Validation of Software Language Tools and Implementations - Verification and formal methods for language tools and implementations - Testing techniques for language tools and implementations - Simulation techniques for language tools and implementations * Software Language Maintenance - Software language reuse - Language evolution - Language families and variability, language and software product lines * Software Language Integration and Composition - Coordination of heterogeneous languages and tools - Mappings between languages (incl. transformation languages) - Traceability between languages - Deployment of languages to different platforms * Domain-Specific Approaches for Any Aspects of SLE (analysis, design, implementation, validation, maintenance) * Empirical Studies and Experience Reports of Tools - User studies evaluating usability - Performance benchmarks - Industrial applications * Synergies between Language Engineering and Emerging/Promising Research Areas - AI and ML language engineering (e.g., ML compiler testing, code classification) - Quantum language engineering (e.g., language design for quantum machines) - Language engineering for cyber-physical systems, IoT, digital twins, etc. - Socio-technical systems and language engineering (e.g., language evolution to adapt to social requirements) - Etc. --------------------------- Types of Submissions --------------------------- SLE accepts the following types of papers: Research papers: These are “traditional” papers detailing research contributions to SLE. Papers may range from 6 to 12 pages in length and may optionally include 2 further pages of bibliography/appendices. Papers will be reviewed with an understanding that some results do not need 12 full pages and may be fully described in fewer pages. New ideas/vision papers: These papers may describe new, unconventional software language engineering research positions or approaches that depart from standard practice. They can describe well-defined research ideas that are at an early stage of investigation. They could also provide new evidence to challenge common wisdom, present new unifying theories about existing SLE research that provides novel insight or that can lead to the development of new technologies or approaches, or apply SLE technology to radically new application areas. New ideas/vision papers must not exceed 5 pages and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography/appendices. SLE Body of Knowledge: The SLE Body of Knowledge (SLEBoK) is a community-wide effort to provide a unique and comprehensive description of the concepts, best practices, tools, and methods developed by the SLE community. These papers can focus on, but are not limited to, methods, techniques, best practices, and teaching approaches. Papers in this category can have up to 20 pages, including bibliography/appendices. Tool papers: These papers focus on the tooling aspects often forgotten or neglected in research papers. A good tool paper focuses on practical insights that will likely be useful to other implementers or users in the future. Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool demonstrations. Submissions must not exceed 5 pages and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography/appendices. They may optionally include an appendix with a demo outline/screenshots and/or a short video/screencast illustrating the tool. **Workshops**: Workshops will be organized by SPLASH. Please inform us and contact the SPLASH organizers if you would like to organize a workshop of interest to the SLE audience. Information on how to submit workshops can be found on the SPLASH 2024 Website. --------------------------- Submission --------------------------- SLE 2024 has a single submission round for papers, including a rebuttal phase, where all authors of research papers will have the possibility of responding to the reviews on their submissions. Authors of accepted research papers will be invited to submit artifacts. --------------------------- Format --------------------------- Submissions have to use the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format “acmart” (https://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format) please make sure that you always use the latest ACM SIGPLAN acmart LaTeX template, and that the document class definition is `\documentclass[sigplan,anonymous,review]{acmart}`. Do not make any changes to this format! Ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct and font sizes in figures and tables are legible. To increase fairness in reviewing, a double-blind review process has become standard across SIGPLAN conferences. Accordingly, SLE will follow the double-blind process. Author names and institutions must be omitted from submitted papers, and references to the authors’ own related work should be in the third person. No other changes are necessary, and authors will not be penalized if reviewers are able to infer their identities in implicit ways. All submissions must be in PDF format. The submission website is: https://sle24.hotcrp.com --------------------------- Concurrent Submissions --------------------------- Papers must describe unpublished work that is not currently submitted for publication elsewhere as described by SIGPLAN’s Republication Policy (https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/) Submitters should also be aware of ACM’s Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism-overview) Submissions that violate these policies will be desk-rejected. --------------------------- Policy on Human Participant and Subject Research --------------------------- Authors conducting research involving human participants and subjects must ensure that their research complies with their local governing laws and regulations and the ACM’s general principles, as stated in the ACM’s Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/research-involving-human-particip…) If submissions are found to be violating this policy, they will be rejected. --------------------------- Reviewing Process --------------------------- All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee.

FINAL CFP: Haskell Symposium 2024
by J. Garrett Morris 29 May '24

29 May '24

Friends, The Haskell Symposium submission deadline is less than a week away, the PC is eagerly standing by, the HotCRP instance is open (thanks Mati!),... the only thing missing is you! Hope to see you in Milan. /g ---- The ACM SIGPLAN Haskell Symposium 2024 will be co-located with the 2024 International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP). The Haskell Symposium presents original research on Haskell, discusses practical experience and future development of the language, and promotes other forms of declarative programming. Topics of interest include: - *Language design,* with a focus on possible extensions and modifications of Haskell as well as critical discussions of the status quo; - *Theory,* such as formal semantics of the present language or future extensions, type systems, effects, metatheory, and foundations for program analysis and transformation; - *Implementations,* including program analysis and transformation, static and dynamic compilation for sequential, parallel, and distributed architectures, memory management, as well as foreign function and component interfaces; - *Libraries,* that demonstrate new ideas or techniques for functional programming in Haskell; - *Tools,* such as profilers, tracers, debuggers, preprocessors, and testing tools; - *Applications,* to scientific and symbolic computing, databases, multimedia, telecommunication, the web, and so forth; - *Functional Pearls,* being elegant and instructive programming examples; - *Experience Reports,* to document general practice and experience in education, industry, or other contexts; - *Tutorials,* to document how to use a particular language feature, programming technique, tool or library within the Haskell ecosystem; - *System Demonstrations,* based on running software rather than novel research results. Regular papers should explain their research contributions in both general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and relating it to previous work, and to other languages where appropriate. *New this year*, talk proposals need not be full-length, and should report work in progress relevant to Haskell language design, theory, tools, or applications. Talk proposals will be evaluated by the PC for novelty and relevance to the Haskell community, but are not expected to include finished results. Talk proposals will not be distributed to attendees, but authors of talk proposals may provide links to materials to be included on the program. Experience reports and functional pearls need not necessarily report original academic research results. For example, they may instead report reusable programming idioms, elegant ways to approach a problem, or practical experience that will be useful to other users, implementers, or researchers. The key criterion for such a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other Haskellers can benefit. It is not enough simply to describe a standard solution to a standard programming problem, or report on experience where you used Haskell in the standard way and achieved the result you were expecting. Like an experience report and a functional pearl, tutorials should make a contribution from which other Haskellers can benefit. What distinguishes a tutorial is that its focus is on explaining an aspect of the Haskell language and/or ecosystem in a way that is generally useful to a Haskell audience. Tutorials for many such topics can be found online; the distinction here is that by writing it up for formal review it will be vetted by experts and formally published. System demonstrations should summarize the system capabilities that would be demonstrated. The proposals will be judged on whether the ensuing session is likely to be important and interesting to the Haskell community at large, whether on grounds academic or industrial, theoretical or practical, technical, social or artistic. Please contact the program chair with any questions about the relevance of a proposal. If your contribution is not a research paper, please mark the title of your experience report, functional pearl, tutorial or system demonstration as such, by supplying a subtitle (Talk Proposal, Experience Report, Functional Pearl, Tutorial Paper, System Demonstration). Submission Details Formatting Submitted papers should be in portable document format (PDF), formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Authors should use the acmart format, with the sigplan sub-format for ACM proceedings. For details, see: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/#acmart-format It is recommended to use the review option when submitting a paper; this option enables line numbers for easy reference in reviews. Talk proposals, functional pearls, experience reports, tutorials and demo proposals should be labelled clearly as such. Lightweight Double-blind Reviewing Haskell Symposium 2024 will use a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules: - Author names and institutions must be omitted, and - References to authors’ own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not “We build on our previous work” but rather "We build on the work of "). The purpose of this process is to help the reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be omitted or anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on their research ideas. A reviewer will learn the identity of the author(s) of a paper after a review is submitted. Page Limits The length of submissions should not exceed the following limits: - *Regular paper:* 12 pages - *Talk proposals:* 6 pages - *Functional pearl:* 12 pages - *Tutorial:* 12 pages - *Experience report:* 6 pages - *Demo proposal:* 2 pages There is no requirement that all pages are used. For example, a good talk proposal might be two pages, and a functional pearl may be much shorter than 12 pages. In all cases, the list of references is not counted against these page limits. Deadlines - *Paper submission:* 3 June 2024 (Mon) - *Notification:* 5 July 2024 (Fri) - *Camera-ready Deadline:* 18 July 2024 (Thu) Deadlines are end of day Anywhere on Earth (UTC-12) <https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe>. Submission Submissions must adhere to SIGPLAN’s republication policy <http://sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication/>, and authors should be aware of ACM’s policies on plagiarism <https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism>. Program Committee members are allowed to submit papers, but their papers will be held to a higher standard. The paper submission deadline and length limitations are firm. There will be no extensions, and papers violating the length limitations will be summarily rejected. Papers should be submitted through HotCRP at: https://haskell24.hotcrp.com/ Improved versions of a paper may be submitted at any point before the submission deadline using the same web interface. *Supplementary material:* Authors have the option to attach supplementary material to a submission, on the understanding that reviewers may choose not to look at it. This supplementary material should not be submitted as part of the main document; instead, it should be uploaded as a separate PDF document or tarball. Supplementary material should be uploaded at submission time, not by providing a URL in the paper that points to an external repository. Authors can distinguish between anonymized and non-anonymized supplementary material. Anonymized supplementary material will be visible to reviewers immediately; non-anonymized supplementary material will be revealed to reviewers only after they have submitted their review of the paper and learned the identity of the author(s). *Resubmitted Papers:* authors who submit a revised version of a paper that has previously been rejected by another conference have the option to attach an annotated copy of the reviews of their previous submission(s), explaining how they have addressed these previous reviews in the present submission. If a reviewer identifies him/herself as a reviewer of this previous submission and wishes to see how his/her comments have been addressed, the conference chair will communicate to this reviewer the annotated copy of his/her previous review. Otherwise, no reviewer will read the annotated copies of the previous reviews. Proceedings Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Their authors will be required to choose one of the following options: - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM a non-exclusive permission-to-publish license (and, optionally, licenses the work with a Creative Commons license); - Author retains copyright of the work and grants ACM an exclusive permission-to-publish license; - Author transfers copyright of the work to ACM. For more information, please see ACM Copyright Policy <http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/copyright-policy> and ACM Author Rights <http://authors.acm.org/main.html>. Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be posted on the symposium website but not formally published in the proceedings. *Publication date:* The official publication date of accepted papers is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. Artifacts Authors of accepted papers are encouraged to make auxiliary material (artifacts like source code, test data, etc.) available with their paper. They can opt to have these artifacts published alongside their paper in the ACM Digital Library (copyright of artifacts remains with the authors). If an accepted paper’s artifacts are made permanently available for retrieval in a publicly accessible archival repository like the ACM Digital Library, that paper qualifies for an Artifacts Available badge ( https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/artifact-review-badging#available) Applications for such a badge can be made after paper acceptance and will be reviewed by the PC chair.

PhD Positions at Chalmers University in Language-based Security
by Alejandro Russo 21 May '24

21 May '24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 PhD positions on Language-based Security using Functional Languages at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Prof. Alejandro Russo (https://www.chalmers.se/en/persons/russo/) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chalmers University of Technology is hiring: 2 PhD students in language-based security using functional languages * Important dates: June 6th 2024 * Expected starting date: preferably around September 2024 but negotiable. ---- - 1 PhD student in Language-based Security for Data Sharing Platforms ---- https://web103.reachmee.com/ext/I003/304/job?site=5&lang=UK&validator=a72ae… In the dynamic landscape of data-driven innovations, there is a pressing challenge of facilitating data sharing while safeguarding the security and privacy of shared information. This project, named SecureClean, aims to develop tools for constructing robust data aggregation and sharing platforms with verifiable privacy guarantees. The primary objective is to prevent data leakages and attacks on sensitive information during the data sharing process. SecureClean adopts a novel approach by integrating language-based type-safe, high-level functional programming models with trusted execution environments, choreographic programming, information-flow control, and differential privacy. The success of the project not only addresses current challenges faced by industries but also contributes to advancing technology and standards for secure and responsible data sharing. ---- - 1 PhD student in Language-based Security to support GDPR Compliance ---- https://web103.reachmee.com/ext/I003/304/job?site=5&lang=UK&validator=a72ae… To exploit the benefits of digital services, we are often obliged to share some of our personal data. The growing availability of large-scale personal data places the challenge of protecting privacy as a major one. The EU GDPR legislation created awareness of privacy issues and introduced regulatory constraints to protect citizens' data. Privacy legislation is not exclusive to Europe; e.g., the California Consumer Privacy Act became effective in 2020 and is broadly similar to GDPR. Unfortunately, existing technical solutions to comply with GDPR constitute best-effort countermeasures, and they are limited in scope and do not provide any security or privacy guarantee. This project, called EDA, will develop rigorously proven techniques to ensure that the propagation, storing, and disclosing of personal data are protected by a wide range of GDPR principles, namely purpose, the right to consent and withdrawal, transparency & auditing, processing control, data portability, data minimization, and non-identifiable disclosure. EDA's methodological novelty is to tackle many GDPR aspects with the same underlying approach: a novel fusion between language-based information-flow control and differential privacy. EDA will adopt functional programming languages as lingua franca and be mathematically proven to be immune to entire classes of attacks.

========================================================================= The Ninth International Workshop on TYPE-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT Call for papers and extended abstracts Milan, Italy, 6 September 2024 https://icfp24.sigplan.org/home/tyde-2024 ========================================================================= The Workshop on Type-Driven Development (TyDe) aims to show how static type information may be used effectively in the development of computer programs. Co-located with ICFP, this workshop brings together leading researchers and practitioners who are using or exploring types as a means of program development. We welcome all contributions, both theoretical and practical, on a range of topics including: * dependently typed programming; * generic programming; * design and implementation of programming languages, exploiting types in novel ways; * exploiting typed data, data dependent data, or type providers; * static and dynamic analyses of typed programs; * tools, IDEs, or testing tools exploiting type information; * pearls, being elegant, instructive examples of types used in the derivation, calculation, or construction of programs. ### Important dates ### * Mon 27 May 2024 (AoE): Submission deadline for papers and extended abstracts * Wed 10 Jul 2024: Notification of acceptance * Wed 17 Jul 2024: Submission of camera-ready papers to ACM * Fri 6 Sep 2024: Workshop ### Proceedings and Copyright ### We will have formal proceedings for full-length papers, published by the ACM. Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors must grant ACM publication rights upon acceptance, but may retain copyright if they wish. Authors are encouraged to publish auxiliary material with their paper (source code, test data, and so forth). The proceedings will be freely available for download from the ACM Digital Library from one week before the start of the conference until two weeks after the conference. The official publication date is the date the papers are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. ### Submission Details ### Submissions should fall into one of two categories: * regular research papers (12 pages); * extended abstracts (3 pages). The bibliography will not be counted against the page limits for either category. Regular research papers are expected to present novel and interesting research results, and will be included in the formal proceedings. Extended abstracts should report work in progress that the authors would like to present at the workshop. Extended abstracts will be distributed to workshop attendees but will not be published in the formal proceedings. We welcome submissions from PC members (with the exception of the two co-chairs), but these submissions will be held to a higher standard. Submission is handled through HotCRP: > https://tyde24.hotcrp.com All submissions should be in portable document format (PDF) and formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines: > https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ Note that submissions should use the new ‘acmart’ format and the two-column ‘sigplan’ subformat (not to be confused with the one-column ‘acmsmall’ subformat). Extended abstracts must be submitted with the label ‘Extended Abstract’ clearly in the title. ### Participant Support ### Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover participation-related expenses.

There are a number of new features in this release (`Cabal`) and pre-release (`cabal-install`), such as: - Add support for `asm`, `cmm`, and `js` sources in executable components. - Add `--haddock-output-dir` flag to `cabal haddock`. - Add `--semaphore` option to `./Setup build` interface. - Add `--promised-dependency` flag to `./Setup configure` interface. - Add the ability to `--ignore` specific checks to `cabal check`. - Add support for `GHC2024` language edition. - Add support for loading multiple components into one repl session (especially important for HLS users). - Add `cabal path` command. - Add support for authentication tokens for uploading to Hackage. - Allow more flags in the init section of config file. - Add `--semaphore` flag to enable interaction with GHC Job Server protocol. - Adds functionality for the `--offline` flag with the `build` command. - Improve solver rejections in brevity and accuracy. There is much more: for a detailed list of enhancements, changes, and bugfixes, please check the Cabal-3.12.0.0 changelog [1] (and the cabal-install 3.12.0.0-prerelease changelog [2]. [1] https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/release-notes/Cabal-3.12.0.0.md [2] https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/release-notes/WIP-cabal-instal… ## Authors and contributors Cabal is a collaborative effort; these people contributed with code to this release: aleeusgr Adam Gundry Andrea Bedini Andreas Abel Andreas Klebinger Arjun Kathuria Artem Pelenitsyn BasLaa Bas Laarakker Ben Gamari Bodigrim Brandon Chinn Brandon S. Allbery Bryan Richter Colton Clemmer Csaba Hruska cydparser Daniel Trstenjak David Binder David Christiansen Edwin Marshall Elodie Lander Erik de Castro Lopo Felix Yan Fendor Finley Francesco Ariis Francesco Gazzetta Fraser Tweedale Gershom Bazerman Hamish Mackenzie Hécate Moonlight Ikko Eltociear Ashimine Jana Chadt Javier Sagredo Jean-Paul Calderone Jens Petersen Jessica Hamilton John Paul Adrian Glaubitz Josh Meredith Julia Longtin Julian Ospald Kazuki Okamoto Kleidukos Kristen Kozak Krzysztof Gogolewski liamzee Liisi Kerik Lin Runze malteneuss Malte Neuss Marcin Szamotulski Matthew Pickering Mel Zuser Michael Peyton Jones Mike Pilgrem Mikolaj Konarski mixphix Oleg Grenrus Ondřej Šebek Patrick Augusto Patrick Dougherty Phil de Joux Pierre Le Marre Rebecca Turner Rodrigo Mesquita Ryan Scott Samuel Thibault Sander Sebastian Tee Sergey Vinokurov Shae Erisson sheaf Simon Hengel Siyuan Chen Sören Tempel Suganya Raju Sylvain Henry Taylor Fausak Teo Camarasu Tom Ellis Tom Smeding Torsten Schmits Tristan Cacqueray Troels Henriksen Wismill Yvan Sraka The release could not be done without the help of the manual QA team and devops people, we thank them both. Thanks also to the many users who provided bug reports and suggestions for improvements. A special mention to Hécate, who recently stepped down from Cabal release coordination and left the process in a better, more organised shape than what was before. ## How to get the `cabal-install` pre-release This release is a Cabal-the-library release, but if you want to test the new features of `cabal-install`, you can download the pre-release of the commandline tool via GHCup. Use one of the following commands, depending on your OS: ghcup --no-cache install cabal -u 'https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/cabal/-/jobs/1848320/artifacts/raw/out/c…' 3.12.0.0-prerelease ghcup --no-cache install cabal -u 'https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/cabal/-/jobs/1848326/artifacts/raw/out/c…' 3.12.0.0-prerelease ghcup --no-cache install cabal -u 'https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/cabal/-/jobs/1848327/artifacts/raw/out/c…' 3.12.0.0-prerelease or an analogous command for any other of the artifacts produced by the [pre-release pipeline](https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/cabal/-/pipelines/93759). ## How to help? Cabal is a complex piece of software running on many different machine. Two easy ways to help the development team producing quality releases are: - Join the manual QA team - Test nightly binary `cabal-install` snapshots and pre-releases (such as the 3.12.0.0 pre-release mentioned above) and report any problem you find.
