New version released of Stack, a build tool.
See README for installation and upgrade instructions.
Major changes:
- “stack setup” now supports building and booting GHCJS from source tarball.
- On Windows, build directories no longer display “pretty” information
(like x86_64-windows/Cabal-1.22.4.0), but rather a hash of that
content. The reason is to avoid the 260 character path limitation on
Windows. See
#1027
- Rename config files and clarify their purposes #969
~/.stack/stack.yaml → ~/.stack/config.yaml~/.stack/global → ~/.stack/global-project/etc/stack/config → /etc/stack/config.yaml- Old locations still supported, with deprecation warnings
- New command “stack eval CODE”, which evaluates to “stack exec ghc — -e CODE”.
Other enhancements:
- No longer install
git on Windows
#1046. You
can still get this behavior by running the following yourself:
stack exec -- pacman -Sy --noconfirm git.
- Typing enter during —file-watch triggers a rebuild #1023
- Use Haddock’s
--hyperlinked-source (crosslinked source), if available #1070
- Use Stack-installed GHCs for
stack init --solver #1072
- New experimental
stack query command #1087
- By default, stack no longer rebuilds a package due to GHC options changes. This behavior can be tweaked with the
rebuild-ghc-options setting. #1089
- By default, ghc-options are applied to all local packages, not just targets. This behavior can be tweaked with the
apply-ghc-options setting. #1089
- Docker: download or override location of stack executable to re-run in container #974
- Docker: when Docker Engine is remote, don’t run containerized processes as host’s UID/GID #194
- Docker:
set-user option to enable/disable running containerized processes as host’s UID/GID #194
- Custom Setup.hs files are now precompiled instead of interpreted. This should be a major performance win for certain edge cases (biggest example: building Cabal itself) while being either neutral or a minor slowdown for more common cases.
stack test --coverage now also generates a unified coverage report for multiple test-suites / packages. In the unified report, test-suites can contribute to the coverage of other packages.
Bug fixes:
- Ignore stack-built executables named
ghc
#1052
- Fix quoting of output failed command line arguments
- Mark executable-only packages as installed when copied from cache #1043
- Canonicalize temporary directory paths #1047
- Put code page fix inside the build function itself #1066
- Add
explicit-setup-deps option #1110, and change the default to the old behavior of using any package in the global and snapshot database #1025
- Precompiled cache checks full package IDs on Cabal < 1.22 #1103
- Pass -package-id to ghci #867
- Ignore global packages when copying precompiled packages #1146
