=== Cabal 1.1.4 release === Cabal-1.1.4, the version shipped with GHC 6.4.2 is now available to download as a separate tarball: http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html http://haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-1.1.4/cabal-1.1.4.tar.gz Note that there was some confusion over the version number. If you got a darcs development snapshot in the last few months it will likely have been marked 1.1.4, however it should have been marked 1.1.5. 1.1.4 is the version shipped with GHC 6.4.2 and available as the tarball above. The current darcs development version is 1.1.5. We'll try to avoid such confusion in the future. === New Cabal-devel mailing list === There is also a new cabal-devel@haskell.org mailing list for Cabal development discussion including patch review. This is where patches sent via "darcs send" will end up. We welcome anyone to join the list and help discuss ongoing Cabal development or just to keep an eye on what's going in. Sign up here: http://haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel We'd also like to take the opportunity to invite people to get involved in Cabal development, either new features or squashing annoying bugs. It's as simple as: darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/Cabal # write patch darcs record darcs send People who already commit directly via darcs push are welcome to continue to do so for patches they consider obvious. If they would like some review and feedback then they are welcome to "darcs send" instead and discuss the patch on the mailing list before committing. Note that this new list is not intended to take discussions of Cabal away from the libraries list. Issues affecting users should still go to libraries@haskell.org. The intention is to have more discussion and review of Cabal development. Duncan (who is wearing his new Cabal release manager's hat)
