(from Duncan Coutts) * Use .tar.gz for source package extension * Uses GHC instead of cpphs if the latter is not available * Added experimental "command hooks" which completely override the default behavior of a command. * Some bugfixes 1.1.1 Isaac Jones July 2005 * WARNING: Interfaces not documented in the user's guide may change in future releases. * Handles recursive modules for GHC 6.2 and GHC 6.4. * Added "setup test" command (Used with UserHook) * implemented handling of _stub.{c,h,o} files * Added support for profiling * Changed install prefix of libraries (pref/pkgname-version to prefix/pkgname-version/compname-version) * Added pattern guards as a language extension * Moved some functionality to Language.Haskell.Extension * Register / unregister .bat files for windows * Exposed more of the API * Added support for the hide-all-packages flag in GHC > 6.4 * Several bug fixes 1.0 Isaac Jones March 11 2005 * Released with GHC 6.4, Hugs March 2005, and nhc98 1.18 * Some sanity checking 0.5 Isaac Jones Wed Feb 19 2005 * WARNING: this is a pre-release and the interfaces are still likely to change until we reach a 1.0 release. * Hooks interfaces changed * Added preprocessors to user hooks * No more executable-modules or hidden-modules. Use "other-modules" instead. * Certain fields moved into BuildInfo, much refactoring * extra-libs -> extra-libraries * Added --gen-script to configure and unconfigure. * modules-ghc (etc) now ghc-modules (etc) * added new fields including "synopsis" * Lots of bug fixes * spaces can sometimes be used instead of commas * A user manual has appeared (Thanks, ross!) * for ghc 6.4, configures versionsed depends properly * more features to ./setup haddock 0.4 Isaac Jones Sun Jan 16 2005 * Much thanks to all the awesome fptools hackers who have been working hard to build the Haskell Cabal! * Interface Changes: ** WARNING: this is a pre-release and the interfaces are still likely to change until we reach a 1.0 release. ** Instead of Package.description, you should name your description files .cabal. In particular, we suggest that you name it .cabal, but this is not enforced (yet). Multiple .cabal files in the same directory is an error, at least for now. ** ./setup install --install-prefix is gone. Use ./setup copy --copy-prefix instead. ** The "Modules" field is gone. Use "hidden-modules", "exposed-modules", and "executable-modules". ** Build-depends is now a package-only field, and can't go into executable stanzas. Build-depends is a package-to-package relationship. ** Some new fields. Use the Source. * New Features ** Cabal is now included as a package in the CVS version of fptools. That means it'll be released as "-package Cabal" in future versions of the compilers, and if you are a bleeding-edge user, you can grab it from the CVS repository with the compilers. ** Hugs compatibility and NHC98 compatibility should both be improved. ** Hooks Interface / Autoconf compatibility: Most of the hooks interface is hidden for now, because it's not finalized. I have exposed only "defaultMainWithHooks" and "defaultUserHooks". This allows you to use a ./configure script to preprocess "foo.buildinfo", which gets merged with "foo.cabal". In future releases, we'll expose UserHooks, but we're definitely going to change the interface to those. The interface to the two functions I've exposed should stay the same, though. ** ./setup haddock is a baby feature which pre-processes the source code with hscpp and runs haddock on it. This is brand new and hardly tested, so you get to knock it around and see what you think. ** Some commands now actually implement verbosity. ** The preprocessors have been tested a bit more, and seem to work OK. Please give feedback if you use these. 0.3 Isaac Jones Sun Jan 16 2005 * Unstable snapshot release * From now on, stable releases are even. 0.2 Isaac Jones * Adds more HUGS support and preprocessor support.
