See https://haskellstack.org for installation and upgrade instructions.

Release notes:

  • On many Un*x systems, Stack can now be installed with a simple
    one-liner:

      wget -qO- https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh
    
  • The fix for
    #2175
    entails that stack must perform a full clone of a large Git repo of
    Hackage meta-information. The total download size is about 200 MB.
    Please be aware of this when upgrading your stack installation.

  • If you use Mac OS X, you may want to delay upgrading to macOS Sierra as there
    are reports of GHC panics when building some packages (including Stack
    itself). See #2577

  • This version of Stack does not build on ARM or PowerPC systems (see
    store#37). Please stay with
    version 1.1.2 for now on those architectures. This will be rectified soon!

  • We are now releasing a
    statically linked Stack binary for 64-bit Linux.
    Please try it and let us know if you run into any trouble on your platform.

  • We are planning some changes to our Linux releases, including dropping our
    Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and Fedora package repositories and switching to
    statically linked binaries. We would value your feedback in
    #2534.

Major changes:

  • Add stack hoogle command.
    #55
  • Support for absolute file path in url field of setup-info or --ghc-bindist
  • Add support for rendering GHCi scripts targeting different GHCi like
    applications
    #2457

Behavior changes:

  • Remove stack ide start and stack ide load-targets commands.
    #2178
  • Support .buildinfo files in stack ghci.
    #2242
  • Support -ferror-spans syntax in GHC error messages.
  • Avoid unpacking ghc to /tmp
    #996
  • The Linux gmp4 GHC bindist is no longer considered a full-fledged GHC
    variant and can no longer be specified using the ghc-variant option,
    and instead is treated more like a slightly different platform.

Other enhancements:

  • Use the store package for binary serialization of most caches.
  • Only require minor version match for Docker stack exe.
    This way, we can make patch releases for version bounds and similar
    build issues without needing to upload new binaries for Docker.
  • Stack/Nix: Passes the right ghc derivation as an argument to the shell.nix when a
    custom shell.nix is used
    See #2243
  • Stack/Nix: Sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH so packages using C libs for Template Haskell can work
    (See e.g. this HaskellR issue)
  • Parse CLI arguments and configuration files into less permissive types,
    improving error messages for bad inputs.
    #2267
  • Add the ability to explictly specify a gcc executable.
    #593
  • Nix: No longer uses LTS mirroring in nixpkgs. Gives to nix-shell a derivation
    like haskell.compiler.ghc801
    See #2259
  • Perform some subprocesses during setup concurrently, slightly speeding up most
    commands. #2346
  • stack setup no longer unpacks to the system temp dir on posix systems.
    #996
  • stack setup detects libtinfo6 and ncurses6 and can download alternate GHC
    bindists #257
    #2302.
  • stack setup detects Linux ARMv7 downloads appropriate GHC bindist
    #2103
  • Custom stack binaries list dependency versions in output for --version.
    See #2222
    and #2450.
  • Use a pretty printer to output dependency resolution errors.
    #1912
  • Remove the --os flag
    #2227
  • Add 'netbase' and 'ca-certificates' as dependency for .deb packages.
    #2293.
  • Add stack ide targets command.
  • Enhance debug logging with subprocess timings.
  • Pretty-print YAML parse errors
    #2374
  • Clarify confusing stack setup output
    #2314
  • Delete Stack.Types multimodule to improve build times
    #2405
  • Remove spurious newlines in build logs
    #2418
  • Interpreter: Provide a way to hide implicit packages
    #1208
  • Check executability in exec lookup
    #2489

Bug fixes:

  • Fix cabal warning about use of a deprecated cabal flag
    #2350
  • Support most executable extensions on Windows
    #2225
  • Detect resolver change in stack solver
    #2252

    selected
    #2376
  • Ignore special entries when unpacking tarballs
    #2361

    haddock #2429
  • Handle filepaths with spaces in stack ghci
    #2266

    #2289
  • stack sdist: Fix timestamp in tarball
    #2394
  • Allow global Stack arguments with a script
    #2316
  • Inconsistency between ToJSON and FromJSON instances of PackageLocation
    #2412
  • Perform Unicode normalization on filepaths
    #1810
  • Solver: always keep ghc wired-in as hard constraints
    #2453
  • Support OpenBSD's tar where possible, require GNU tar for xz support
    #2283
  • Fix using --coverage with Cabal-1.24
    #2424
  • When marking exe installed, remove old version
    #2373
  • Stop truncating all-cabal-hashes git repo
    #2175
  • Handle non-ASCII filenames on Windows
    #2491
  • Avoid using multiple versions of a package in script interpreter
    by passing package-id to ghc/runghc
    #1957
  • Only pre-load compiler version when using nix integration
    #2459
  • Solver: parse cabal errors also on Windows
    #2502
  • Allow exec and ghci commands in interpreter mode.
    Scripts can now automatically open in the repl by using exec ghci
    instead of runghc in the shebang command.
    #2510
  • Now consider a package to be dirty when an extra-source-file is changed.
    See #2040

v1.1.2

See haskellstack.org for installation and upgrade instructions.

Release notes:

Major changes:

  • Extensible custom snapshots implemented. These allow you to define snapshots
    which extend other snapshots. See
    #863. Local file custom
    snapshots can now be safely updated without changing their name. Remote custom
    snapshots should still be treated as immutable.

Behavior changes:

  • stack path --compiler was added in the last release, to yield a path to the
    compiler. Unfortunately, --compiler is a global option that is useful to use
    with stack path. The same functionality is now provided by stack path --compiler-exe. See
    #2123
  • For packages specified in terms of a git or hg repo, the hash used in the
    location has changed. This means that existing downloads from older stack
    versions won't be used. This is a side-effect of the fix to
    #2133
  • stack upgrade no longer pays attention to local stack.yaml files, just the
    global config and CLI options.
    #1392
  • stack ghci now uses :add instead of :load, making it potentially work
    better with user scripts. See
    #1888

Other enhancements:

  • Grab Cabal files via Git SHA to avoid regressions from Hackage revisions
    #2070
  • Custom snapshots now support ghc-options.
  • Package git repos are now re-used rather than re-cloned. See
    #1620
  • DESTDIR is filtered from environment when installing GHC. See
    #1460
  • stack haddock now supports --hadock-arguments. See
    #2144
  • Signing: warn if GPG_TTY is not set as per man gpg-agent

Bug fixes:

  • Now ignore project config when doing stack init or stack new. See
    #2110
  • Packages specified by git repo can now have submodules. See
    #2133
  • Fix of hackage index fetch retry. See re-opening of
    #1418
  • HPack now picks up changes to filesystem other than package.yaml. See
    #2051
  • "stack solver" no longer suggests --omit-packages. See
    #2031
  • Fixed an issue with building Cabal's Setup.hs. See
    #1356
  • Package dirtiness now pays attention to deleted files. See
    #1841
  • stack ghci now uses extra-lib-dirs and extra-include-dirs. See
    #1656
  • Relative paths outside of source dir added via qAddDependentFile are now
    checked for dirtiness. See
    #1982
  • Signing: always use --with-fingerprints

Thanks to all our contributors for this release:

And thanks also to the 150+ contributors to past releases!

v1.1.0

04 May 09:37
Compare

See haskellstack.org for installation and upgrade instructions.

Release notes:

  • Added Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) Apt repo.
  • No longer uploading new versions to Fedora 21 repo.

Behavior changes:

  • Snapshot packages are no longer built with executable profiling. See
    #1179.
  • stack init now ignores symlinks when searching for cabal files. It also now
    ignores any directory that begins with . (as well as dist dirs) - before
    it would only ignore .git, .stack-work, and dist.
  • The stack executable is no longer built with -rtsopts. Before, when
    -rtsopts was enabled, stack would process +RTS options even when intended
    for some other program, such as when used with stack exec -- prog +RTS.
    See #2022.
  • The stack path --ghc-paths option is deprecated and renamed to --programs.
    --compiler is added, which points directly at the compiler used in
    the current project. --compiler-bin points to the compiler's bin dir.
  • For consistency with the $STACK_ROOT environment variable, the
    stack path --global-stack-root flag and the global-stack-root field
    in the output of stack path are being deprecated and replaced with the
    stack-root flag and output field.
    Additionally, the stack root can now be specified via the
    --stack-root command-line flag. See
    #1148.
  • stack sig GPG-related sub-commands were removed (folded into upload and
    sdist)
  • GPG signing of packages while uploading to Hackage is now the default. Use
    upload --no-signature if you would rather not contribute your package
    signature. If you don't yet have a GPG keyset, read this
    blog post on GPG keys.
    We can add a stack.yaml config setting to disable signing if some people
    desire it. We hope that people will sign. Later we will be adding GPG
    signature verification options.
  • stack build pkg-1.2.3 will now build even if the snapshot has a different
    package version - it is treated as an extra-dep. stack build local-pkg-1.2.3
    is an error even if the version number matches the local package
    #2028.
  • Having a nix: section no longer implies enabling nix build. This allows the
    user to globally configure whether nix is used (unless the project overrides
    the default explicitly). See
    #1924.
  • Remove deprecated valid-wanted field.
  • Docker: mount home directory in container #1949.
  • Deprecate --local-bin-path instead --local-bin.
  • stack image: allow absolute source paths for add.

Other enhancements:

  • stack haddock --open [PACKAGE] opens the local haddocks in the browser.
  • Fix too much rebuilding when enabling/disabling profiling flags.
  • stack build pkg-1.0 will now build pkg-1.0 even if the snapshot specifies
    a different version (it introduces a temporary extra-dep)
  • Experimental support for --split-objs added
    #1284.
  • git packages with submodules are supported by passing the --recursive
    flag to git clone.
  • When using hpack, only regenerate cabal files
    when hpack files change.
  • hpack files can now be used in templates
  • stack ghci now runs ghci as a separate process
    #1306
  • Retry when downloading snapshots and package indices
  • Many build options are configurable now in stack.yaml:
  build:
    library-profiling: true
    executable-profiling: true
    haddock: true
    haddock-deps: true
    copy-bins: true
    prefetch: true
    force-dirty: true
    keep-going: true
    test: true
    test-arguments:
      rerun-tests: true
      additional-args: ['-fprof']
      coverage: true
      no-run-tests: true
    bench: true
    benchmark-opts:
      benchmark-arguments: -O2
      no-run-benchmarks: true
    reconfigure: true
    cabal-verbose: true
  • A number of URLs are now configurable, useful for firewalls. See
    #1794.
  • Suggest causes when executables are missing.
  • Allow --omit-packages even without --solver.
  • Improve the generated stack.yaml.
  • Improve ghci results after :load Main module collision with main file path.
  • Only load the hackage index if necessary
    #1883, #1892.
  • init: allow local packages to be deps of deps
    #1965.
  • Always use full fingerprints from GPG
    #1952.
  • Default to using gpg2 and fall back to gpg
    #1976.
  • Add a flag for --verbosity silent.
  • Add haddock --open flag #1396.

Bug fixes:

  • Package tarballs would fail to unpack.
    #1884.
  • Fixed errant warnings about missing modules, after deleted and removed from
    cabal file #921
    #1805.
  • Now considers a package to dirty when the hpack file is changed
    #1819.
  • Nix: cancelling a stack build now exits properly rather than dropping into a
    nix-shell #1778.
  • allow-newer: true now causes --exact-configuration to be passed to Cabal.
    See #1579.
  • stack solver no longer fails with InvalidRelFile for relative package
    paths including ... See
    #1954.
  • Ignore emacs lock files when finding .cabal
    #1897.
  • Use lenient UTF-8 decode for build output
    #1945.
  • Clear index cache whenever index updated
    #1962.
  • Fix: Building a container image drops a .stack-work dir in the current working
    (sub)directory
    #1975.
  • Fix: Rebuilding when disabling profiling
    #2023.

Thanks to all our contributors for this release:

See haskellstack.org for installation and upgrade instructions.

Major changes:

  • Some notable changes in stack init:
    • Overall it should now be able to initialize almost all existing cabal
      packages out of the box as long as the package itself is consistently
      defined.
    • Choose the best possible snapshot and add extra dependencies on top
      of a snapshot resolver rather than a compiler resolver -
      #1583
    • Automatically omit a package (--omit-packages) when it is compiler
      incompatible or when there are packages with conflicting dependency
      requirements - #1674.
    • Some more changes for a better user experience. Please refer to
      the doc guide for details.
  • Add support for hpack, alternative package description format
    #1679

Other enhancements:

  • Docker: pass ~/.ssh and SSH auth socket into container, so that git repos
    work #1358.
  • Docker: strip suffix from docker --version.
    #1653
  • Docker: pass USER and PWD environment bariables into container.
  • On each run, stack will test the stack root directory (/.stack), and the
    project and package work directories (.stack-work) for whether they are
    owned by the current user and abort if they are not. This precaution can
    be disabled with the --allow-different-user flag or allow-different-user
    option in the global config (
    /.stack/config.yaml).
    #471
  • Added stack clean --full option for full working dir cleanup.
  • YAML config: support Zip archives.
  • Redownload build plan if parsing fails
    #1702.
  • Give mustache templates access to a 'year' tag
    #1716.
  • Have "stack ghci" warn about module name aliasing.
  • Add "stack ghci --load-local-deps".
  • Build Setup.hs with -rtsopts
    #1687.
  • stack init accepts a list of directories.
  • Add flag infos to DependencyPlanFailures (for better error output in case of
    flags) #713
  • stack new --bare complains for overwrites, and add --force option
    #1597.

Bug fixes:

  • Previously, stack ghci would fail with cannot satisfy -package-id when the
    implicit build step changes the package key of some dependency.
  • Fix: Building with ghcjs: "ghc-pkg: Prelude.chr: bad argument: 2980338"
    #1665.
  • Fix running test / bench with --profile / --trace.
  • Fix: build progress counter is no longer visible
    #1685.
  • Use "-RTS" w/ profiling to allow extra args
    #1772.
  • Fix withUnpackedTarball7z to find name of srcDir after unpacking
    (fixes stack setup fails for ghcjs project on windows)
    #1774.
  • Add space before auto-generated bench opts (makes profiling options work
    uniformly for applications and benchmark suites)
    #1771.
  • Don't try to find plugin if it resembles flag.
  • Setup.hs changes cause package dirtiness
    #1711.
  • Send "stack templates" output to stdout
    #1792.

v1.0.0

A Christmas present: we’re calling this version 1.0! This is a minor enhancement and bug fix release, but since Stackage LTS 4 is about to be cut we thought it was time to give Stack a version number that reflects its readiness for production use.

Enhancements:

  • Added flag --profile flag: passed with stack build, it will
    enable profiling, and for --bench and --test it will generate a
    profiling report by passing +RTS -p to the executable(s). Great
    for using like stack build --bench --profile (remember that
    enabling profile will slow down your benchmarks by >4x). Run stack build --bench again to disable the profiling and get proper speeds
  • Added flag --trace flag: just like --profile, it enables
    profiling, but instead of generating a report for --bench and
    --test, prints out a stack trace on exception. Great for using
    like stack build --test --trace
  • Nix: all options can be overriden on command line
    #1483
  • Nix: build environments (shells) are now pure by default.
  • Make verbosity silent by default in script interpreter mode
    #1472
  • Show a message when resetting git commit fails
    #1453
  • Improve Unicode handling in project/package names
    #1337
  • Fix ambiguity between a stack command and a filename to execute (prefer
    stack subcommands)
    #1471
  • Support multi line interpreter directive comments
    #1394
  • Handle space separated pids in ghc-pkg dump (for GHC HEAD)
    #1509
  • Add ghci --no-package-hiding option
    #1517
  • stack new can download templates from URL
    #1466

Bug fixes:

  • Nix: stack exec options are passed properly to the stack sub process
    #1538
  • Nix: specifying a shell-file works in any current working directory
    #1547
  • Nix: use --resolver argument
  • Docker: fix missing image message and '--docker-auto-pull'
  • No HTML escaping for "stack new" template params
    #1475
  • Set permissions for generated .ghci script
    #1480
  • Restrict commands allowed in interpreter mode
    #1504
  • stack ghci doesn't see preprocessed files for executables
    #1347
  • All test suites run even when only one is requested
    #1550
  • Edge cases in broken templates give odd errors
    #1535
  • Fix test coverage bug on windows

Release notes:

  • The Stack home page is now at haskellstack.org,
    which shows the documentation rendered by readthedocs.org. Note: this
    has necessitated some changes to the links in the documentation's markdown
    source code, so please check the links on the website before submitting a PR
    to fix them.
  • The locations of the
    Ubuntu
    and
    Debian
    package repositories have changed to have correct URL semantics according to
    Debian's guidelines
    #1378. The old
    locations will continue to work for some months, but we suggest that you
    adjust your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fpco.list to the new location to avoid
    future disruption.
  • openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise
    packages are now available, thanks to @mimi1vx.
    Note: there will be some lag before these pick up new versions, as they are
    based on Stackage LTS.

Major changes:

  • Support for building inside a Nix-shell providing system dependencies
    #1285
  • Add optional GPG signing on stack upload --sign or with
    stack sig sign ...

Other enhancements:

  • Print latest applicable version of packages on conflicts
    #508
  • Support for packages located in Mercurial repositories
    #1397
  • Only run benchmarks specified as build targets
    #1412
  • Support git-style executable fall-through (stack something executes
    stack-something if present)
    #1433
  • GHCi now loads intermediate dependencies
    #584
  • --work-dir option for overriding .stack-work
    #1178
  • Support detailed-0.9 tests
    #1429
  • Docker: improved POSIX signal proxying to containers
    #547

Bug fixes:

  • Show absolute paths in error messages in multi-package builds
    #1348
  • Docker-built binaries and libraries in different path
    #911
    #1367
  • Docker: --resolver argument didn't effect selected image tag
  • GHCi: Spaces in filepaths caused module loading issues
    #1401
  • GHCi: cpp-options in cabal files weren't used
    #1419
  • Benchmarks couldn't be run independently of eachother
    #1412
  • Send output of building setup to stderr
    #1410

See README for installation and upgrade instructions.

There are now Windows installers available: download them here. In addition, new Fedora 23 packages are available here.

Note that, starting with v0.1.8.0, releases of Stack will always have an even-numbered second-to-last version component. Odd second-to-last version components are reserved for unstable builds.

Major changes:

  • stack ghci now detects and warns about various circumstances where it is
    liable to fail. See
