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
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
Major changes:
- On Windows, we now use a full MSYS2 installation in place of the previous PortableGit. This gives you access to the pacman package manager for more easily installing libraries.
- Support for custom GHC binary distributions #530
ghc-variant
option in stack.yaml to specify the variant (also--ghc-variant
command-line option)setup-info
in stack.yaml, to specify where to download custom binary distributions (also--ghc-bindist
command-line option)- Note: On systems with libgmp4 (aka
libgmp.so.3
), such as CentOS 6, you may need to re-runstack setup
due to the centos6 GHC bindist being treated like a variant
- A new
--pvp-bounds
flag to the sdist and upload commands allows automatic adding of PVP upper and/or lower bounds to your dependencies
Other enhancements:
- Adapt to upcoming Cabal installed package identifier format change #851
stack setup
takes a--stack-setup-yaml
argument--file-watch
is more discerning about which files to rebuild for #912stack path
now supports--global-pkg-db
and--ghc-package-path
--reconfigure
flag #914 #946- Cached data is written with a checksum of its structure #889
- Fully removed
--optimizations
flag - Added
--cabal-verbose
flag - Added
--file-watch-poll
flag for polling instead of using filesystem events (useful for running tests in a Docker container while modifying code in the host environment. When code is injected into the container via a volume, the container won't propagate filesystem events). - Give a preemptive error message when
-prof
is given as a GHC option #1015 - Locking is now optional, and will be turned on by setting the
STACK_LOCK
environment variable totrue
#950 - Create default stack.yaml with documentation comments and commented out options #226
- Out of memory warning if Cabal exits with -9 #947
Bug fixes:
- Hacky workaround for optparse-applicative issue with
stack exec --help
#806 - Build executables for local extra deps #920
- copyFile can't handle directories #942
- Support for spaces in Haddock interface files fpco/minghc#85
- Temporarily building against a "shadowing" local package? #992
- Fix Setup.exe name for --upgrade-cabal on Windows #1002
- Unlisted dependencies no longer trigger extraneous second build #838
Fix stack's own Haddocks. No changes to functionality (only comments updated).
Major changes:
- You now have more control over how GHC versions are matched, e.g. "use exactly this version," "use the specified minor version, but allow patches," or "use the given minor version or any later minor in the given major release." The default has switched from allowing newer later minor versions to a specific minor version allowing patches. For more information, see #736 and #784.
- Support added for compiling with GHCJS
- stack can now reuse prebuilt binaries between snapshots. That means that, if you build package foo in LTS-3.1, that binary version can be reused in LTS-3.2, assuming it uses the same dependencies and flags. #878
Other enhancements:
- Added the
--docker-env
argument, to set environment variables in Docker container. - Set locale environment variables to UTF-8 encoding for builds to avoid "commitBuffer: invalid argument" errors from GHC #793
- Enable translitation for encoding on stdout and stderr #824
- By default,
stack upgrade
automatically installs GHC as necessary #797 - Added the
ghc-options
field to stack.yaml #796 - Added the
extra-path
field to stack.yaml - Code page changes on Windows only apply to the build command (and its synonyms), and can be controlled via a command line flag (still defaults to on) #757
- Implicitly add packages to extra-deps when a flag for them is set #807
- Use a precompiled Setup.hs for simple build types #801
- Set --enable-tests and --enable-benchmarks optimistically #805
--only-configure
option added #820- Check for duplicate local package names
- Stop nagging people that call
stack test
#845 --file-watch
will ignore files that are in your VCS boring/ignore files #703- Add
--numeric-version
option
Bug fixes:

- --force-dirty flag: Force treating all local packages as having dirty files (useful for cases where stack can't detect a file change)
- GHC error messages: display file paths as absolute instead of relative for better editor integration
- Add the
--copy-bins
option #569 - Give warnings on unexpected config keys #48
- Remove Docker
pass-host
option - Don't require cabal-install to upload #313
