See https://haskellstack.org/ for installation and upgrade instructions.
Changes since v3.3.1:
Behavior changes:
- Stack will also warn (message S-8432) if there is any non-ISO/IEC 8859-1 (Latin-1) character in Stack’s ‘programs’ path, as
hsc2hsdoes not work if there is such a character in the path to its default templatetemplate-hsc.h. - Stack customizes setup using
Cabal, so if asetup-dependsfield does not mention it as a dependency, Stack warns and adds the GHC boot package as a dependency. Previously, Stack would not do so but only warn that build errors were likely.
Other enhancements:
- Bump to Hpack 0.38.0.
- In YAML configuration files, the
install-msyskey is introduced, to enable or disable the download and installation of Stack-supplied MSYS2 when necessary (subject toskip-msys: false). The default is the same as theinstall-ghcsetting (including if that is set at the command line). Consequently, the default behaviour of Stack is unaffected. - Add the
stack config set install-msyscommand to configure theinstall-msysoption in YAML configuration files. - Option
allow-newer-depsis no longer classified as experimental in documentation. stack sdistandstack uploadreport the version of Cabal (the library) being used to check packages.- Add the
stack config build-filescommand to generate (when applicable) a Cabal file from a package description in the Hpack format and/or a lock file for Stack’s project-level configuration, without taking any other build steps.
