0.0.7Release 0.0.7
Release 0.0.7 This release introduces a new way of installing ghcup (and GHC and cabal in the process) with the infamous `curl .. | sh` pattern. See #36 for discussion. This is completely optional. Features: - Add a bootstrap-haskell script, fixes #36 - Allow to specify tags for `ghcup install`, `ghcup install-cabal` and `ghcup set` - `ghcup list` also shows tags - support installing on macOS aka Darwin - Improve detection logic for CentOS/Alpine/AIX/FreeBSD - Introduce a GHCUP_INSTALL_BASE_PREFIX env variable to control where `.ghcup` directory will be created - Add rudimentary support for Amazon Linux Bugfixes: - Create missing haddock -> haddock-ghc symlink - Emit distro-alias inferred in `debug-info` output - Tweak exit code for `ghcup install` (If a GHC is already installed, we shouldn't treat it as an error) Cleanups: - Simplify mkdir calls - Documentation improvements - Error handling improvements API changes: - `self-update` was renamed to `upgrade`
