2.0.0.0 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> August 2017
* See http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2017-09-09-Cabal-2-0.html
for more detailed release notes.
* Removed the '--root-cmd' parameter of the 'install' command
(#3356).
* Deprecated 'cabal install --global' (#3356).
* Changed 'cabal upload' to upload a package candidate by default
(#3419). Same applies to uploading documentation.
* Added a new 'cabal upload' flag '--publish' for publishing a
package on Hackage instead of uploading a candidate (#3419).
* Added optional solver output visualisation support via the
tracetree package. Mainly intended for debugging (#3410).
* Removed the '--check' option from 'cabal upload'
(#1823). It was replaced by package candidates.
* Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
(#3429).
* The bootstrap script now works correctly when run from a Git
clone (#3439).
* Removed the top-down solver (#3598).
* The '-v/--verbosity' option no longer affects GHC verbosity
(except in the case of '-v0'). Use '--ghc-options=-v' to enable
verbose GHC output (#3540, #3671).
* Changed the default logfile template from
'.../$pkgid.log' to '.../$compiler/$libname.log' (#3807).
* Added a new command, 'cabal reconfigure', which re-runs 'configure'
with the most recently used flags (#2214).
* Added the '--index-state' flag for requesting a specific
version of the package index (#3893, #4115).
* Support for building Backpack packages. See
https://github.com/ezyang/ghc-proposals/blob/backpack/proposals/0000-backpack.rst
for more details.
* Support the Nix package manager (#3651).
* Made the 'template-haskell' package non-upgradable again (#4185).
* Fixed password echoing on MinTTY (#4128).
* Added a new solver flag, '--allow-boot-library-installs', that allows
any package to be installed or upgraded (#4209).
* New 'cabal-install' command: 'outdated', for listing outdated
version bounds in a .cabal file or a freeze file (#4207).
* Added qualified constraints for setup dependencies. For example,
--constraint="setup.bar == 1.0" constrains all setup dependencies on
bar, and --constraint="foo:setup.bar == 1.0" constrains foo's setup
dependency on bar (part of #3502).
* Non-qualified constraints, such as --constraint="bar == 1.0", now
only apply to top-level dependencies. They don't constrain setup or
build-tool dependencies. The new syntax --constraint="any.bar == 1.0"
constrains all uses of bar.
* Added a technical preview version of the 'cabal doctest' command
(#4480).
1.24.0.2 Mikhail Glushenkov <mikhail.glushenkov@gmail.com> December 2016

* Fixed various behaviour differences between network transports
(#3429).
* Updated to depend on the latest hackage-security that fixes
various issues on Windows.

(#3506).
* Store secure repo index data as 01-index.* (#3862).

cabal-install.
* Fix an issue where 'cabal install' sometimes had to be run twice
for packages with build-type: Custom and a custom-setup stanza
(#3723).

build-type is Custom (#3794).
1.24.0.0 Ryan Thomas <ryan@ryant.org> March 2016

registered in the source package index (#2436).

https://example.com/foo-1.0.tar.gz'.
* Automatically use https for cabal upload for the main
hackage.haskell.org (other repos will use whatever they are
configured to use).
* Support for dependencies of custom Setup.hs scripts
(see http://www.well-typed.com/blog/2015/07/cabal-setup-deps/).

method. This fixes an issue when Cabal version mismatch caused
unnecessary reconfigures (#2633).
* Improved error message for unsatisfiable package constraints
(#2727).
* Fixed a space leak in 'cabal update' (#2826).

hackage (#2890).
* Improved error handling for 'sandbox delete-source' (#2943).

* Support for secure repos using hackage-security (#2983).
* Added a log file message similar to one printed by 'make' when
building in another directory (#2642).
* Added new subcommand 'init' to 'cabal user-config'. This
subcommand creates a cabal configuration file in either the
default location or as specified by --config-file (#2553).
* The man page for 'cabal-install' is now automatically generated
(#2877).
* The '--allow-newer' option now works as expected when specified

to find OS X frameworks in). Can be also specified as an argument
for 'install' and 'configure' commands (#3158).
* It's now possible to limit the scope of '--allow-newer' to
single packages in the install plan (#2756).
* Full '--allow-newer' syntax is now supported in the config file
(that is, 'allow-newer: base, ghc-prim, some-package:vector')
(#3171).
* Improved performance of '--reorder-goals' (#3208).
* Fixed space leaks in modular solver (#2916, #2914).
