The HLS team is proud to announce a new release for the `vscode-haskell` extension.

This is the first release which enables Language Server support for `.cabal` files by default.

If this causes any problem for you, you can disable the support for `.cabal` file by setting the new option `"haskell.supportCabalFiles": "disable"`.  
By default, this setting is set to `automatic`, which enables Language Server support for `.cabal` files conditionally on the version of your Haskell Language Server binary (HLS binaries older than 1.9.0.0 cannot process `.cabal` files).
