## Cabal and Cabal-syntax 3.14.0.0 & 3.14.1.0 changelog

For reasons of discoverability, the changelog of Cabal & Cabal-syntax 3.14.0.0 is also included in this file, since that version had been released for the benefit of GHC 9.12's release process.

### Significant changes

- Fix build ways for modules in executables [#10418](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10418) [#10419](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10419)

- Modules belonging to executables were being built in too many ways. For instance, if you
had configured to build profiled library files then your executable modules would also
be built profiled. Which was a regression in behaviour since `Cabal-3.12`.

- Fix ./setup install command [#10416](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10416) [#10417](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10417)

- `./setup install` was failing with a `fromFlag NoFlag` error. It is now fixed.

- Neutral field to add files to sdist [#8817](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8817) [#10107](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10107)

Adds the `extra-files` field to the cabal file specification. This is like
the other `extra-*` fields in that it is copied with the `sdist` command,
except there are no other semantics. Compare to:

* `extra-source-files`: Tracked by `cabal build`.

* `extra-doc-files`: Copied by Haddock to the html directory.

### Other changes

- Add new options from ghc 9.12 [#10468](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10468)

- ghc 9.12 adds several new command line options, divided between
`LANGUAGE`s (already added), warnings, new preprocessor control options,
and compilation control options. Two options needed to be added to the
list of options requiring `Int` parameters.

The new options, excluding warning and language options, are:

* `-fexpose-overloaded-unfoldings`
* `-fmax-forced-spec-args=N`
* `-fno-expose-overloaded-unfoldings`
* `-fno-object-determinism`
* `-fobject-determinism`
* `-fwrite-if-compression=N`
* `-optCmmP…`
* `-optJSP…`
* `-pgmCmmP`
* `-pgmJSP`

As they all affect compilation and store hashes, the only necessary
change was to list the two numeric options so they will be parsed
correctly. To the best of our understanding, `-pgm*` and `-opt*`
options are already handled as a group.

- Include package version when passing `--promised-dependency` flag [#10166](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10166) [#10248](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10248)

The `--promised-dependency` flag now expects an argument in the format

```
NAME-VER[:COMPONENT_NAME]=CID
```

rather than

```
NAME[:COMPONENT_NAME]=CID
```

- Add support for building profiled dynamic way [#4816](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4816) [#9900](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9900)

Add support for profiled dynamic way

New options for `cabal.project` and `./Setup` interface:

* `profiling-shared`: Enable building profiling dynamic way
* Passing `--enable-profiling` and `--enable-executable-dynamic` builds
profiled dynamic executables.

Support for using `profiling-shared` is guarded behind a constraint
which ensures you are using `Cabal >= 3.13`.

In the cabal file:

* `ghc-prof-shared-options`, for passing options when building in
profiling dynamic way

- Working directory support for `Cabal` [#9702](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/9702) [#9718](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9718)

The `Cabal` library is now able to handle a passed-in working directory, instead
of always relying on the current working directory of the parent process.

In order to achieve this, the `SymbolicPath` abstraction was fleshed out, and
all fields of `PackageDescription` that, if relative, should be interpreted
with respect to e.g. the package root, use `SymbolicPath` instead of `FilePath`.

This means that many library functions in `Cabal` take an extra argument of type
`Maybe (SymbolicPath CWD (Dir "Package"))`, which is an optional (relative or
absolute) path to the package root (if relative, relative to the current working
directory). In addition, many functions that used to manipulate `FilePath`s now
manipulate `SymbolicPath`s, require explicit conversion using e.g. `getSymbolicPath`.

To illustrate with file searching, the `Cabal` library defines:

```haskell
findFileCwd
:: forall dir1 dir2 file
. Verbosity
-> Maybe (SymbolicPath CWD (Dir dir1))

-> [SymbolicPath dir1 (Dir dir2)]

-> RelativePath dir2 File

-> IO (SymbolicPath dir1 File)
```

See Note [Symbolic paths] in `Distribution.Utils.Path` for further information
on the design of this API.

- Add `MultilineStrings` extension (GHC proposal #637) [#10245](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10245)

- Add `NamedDefaults` extension (GHC proposal #409) [#9740](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9740)

- Add `OrPatterns` extension (GHC proposal #958) [#10339](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10339)


### Other changes

- Add flag `--ignore-build-tools` [#10128](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10128)

- Adds flag `--ignore-build-tools` which allows a user to ignore the tool
dependencies declared in `build-tool-depends`. For general use, this flag
should never be needed, but it may be useful for packagers.

- Do not try to build dynamic executables on Windows [#10217](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10217)

- Cabal will now exit with a descriptive error message instead of attempting to
build a dynamic executable on Windows.

- Always pass `ghc-options` to GHC [#8717](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/8717)

Previously, options set in the package field `ghc-options` would not be passed
to GHC during the link phase for shared objects (where multiple `.o` or
`.dyn_o` files are merged into a single object file). This made it impossible
to use `ghc-options` to use a different linker by setting (for example)
`ghc-options: -optl-fuse-ld=mold -optlm-fuse-ld=mold`; the options would be
dropped in the link phase, falling back to the default linker.

It was possible to work around this by duplicating the `ghc-options` to
`ghc-shared-options`, which _are_ passed in the shared link phase, but that had
the undocumented and unfortunate side-effect of disabling the GHC
`-dynamic-too` flag, effectively doubling compilation times when
`ghc-shared-options` are set.

Now, `ghc-options` are combined with `ghc-shared-options` (to accurately
reflect the documentation on this feature) and the fact that
`ghc-shared-options` disables `-dynamic-too` is documented.

- Introduce `SetupHooks` [#9551](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9551)

Introduction of a new build type: `Hooks`.
This build type, intended to eventually replace the `Custom` build type, integrates
better with the rest of the ecosystem (`cabal-install`, Haskell Language Server).

The motivation and full design of this new build-type are specified in the
Haskell Foundation Tech Proposal
[Replacing the Cabal Custom build-type](https://github.com/haskellfoundation/tech-proposals/pull/60).

Package authors willing to use this feature should declare `cabal-version: 3.14` and `build-type: Hooks`
in their `.cabal` file, declare a `custom-setup` stanza with a dependency on the
`Cabal-hooks` package, and define a module `SetupHooks` that exports a value
`setupHooks :: SetupHooks`, using the API exported by `Distribution.Simple.SetupHooks`
from the `Cabal-hooks` package. Refer to the Haddock documentation of
`Distribution.Simple.SetupHooks` for example usage.

- Redefine `build-type: Configure` in terms of `Hooks` [#9969](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9969)

The `build-type: Configure` is now implemented in terms of `build-type: Hooks`
rather than in terms of `build-type: Custom`. This moves the `Configure`
build-type away from the `Custom` issues. Eventually, `build-type: Hooks` will
no longer imply packages are built in legacy-fallback mode. When that
happens, `Configure` will also stop implying `legacy-fallback`.

The observable aspect of this change is `runConfigureScript` now having a
different type, and `autoconfSetupHooks` being exposed by `Distribution.Simple`.
The former is motivated by internal implementation details, while the latter
provides the `SetupHooks` value for the `Configure` build type, which can be
consumed by other `Hooks` clients (e.g. eventually HLS).

- Cabal can issue a number of error messages referencing "Setup configure",
but it simply references "configure" which could mean any of three
things (Setup configure, the package's "configure" script, or "cabal
configure"). This has recently caught out even Cabal devs. Clarify these
messages. [#9476](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9476)

- Update the SPDX License List to version 3.25

The LicenseId and LicenseExceptionId types are updated to reflect the SPDX
License List version 3.25 (2024-08-19).

## cabal-install and cabal-install-solver 3.14.1.0 changelog

- Fix a bug that causes `cabal init` to crash if `git` is not installed [#8478](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8478) [#10484](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10484) [#10486](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10486)

- `cabal init` tries to use `git config` to guess the user's name and email.
It no longer crashes if there is no executable named `git` on $PATH.

- Print out which project file we are using with the default verbosity [#8519](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8519) [#10507](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10507)

- Many people have been burnt by cabal catching stray project files located up
the directory tree. This change tries to protect them at the expense of
producing more output by default. In particular, before this change, you could
see which project file is in use by supplying `-v` (the verbose mode), and
after the change we print this information with the default verbosity.
Changing the behaviour of cabal is out of scope of this change, and will
hopefully be done in the future versions (see #9353 for a way forward).
