Added

  • Support for GHC 8.10.
  • Support for building fully-static binaries. These binaries have fewer dependencies and are more portable across systems.
  • Support Cabal setup script dependencies. See #1347.
  • Support ghcide.
  • Support building Stackage binaries in stack_snapshot, not just libraries. See #1304.
  • Better compatibility with --remote_download_minimal.
  • Support Stack snapshot pinning. In the common case, users don't even need to run Stack to resolve a snapshot to a set of package tarballs. The tarballs can be cached in the Bazel repository cache. See #1376.

Changed

  • The platform name for Nix users has changed. The platforms in @//haskell/platforms/... are still supported, but are deprecated. Use @io_tweag_rules_nixpkgs//nixpkgs/platforms:host instead.
  • Avoid unnecessary recompilation on Windows. See #1280.
  • Use Stack >= 2.3.1 in the implementation of stack_snapshot. This enables better sdist caching, better performance, and makes bazel fetch more effective.
  • More aggressive shortening of library names to avoid exceeding MACH-O header size limits on macOS.
  • Make variables are now expanded in compiler and REPL flags. See #1381.

Fixed

  • Linking shared libraries and binaries on Linux distributions that have PIE enabled by default, like Ubuntu from at least 18.04 onwards. See #1388.
