    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

    • 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

    Release 0.0.6

    This release introduces the meta files .available-versions and .download-urls, which can be maintained independently and will be downloaded on-the-fly by the script to discover available upstream versions and appropriate tarballs for the current distribution.

    Features:

    • allow to specify a build config for 'ghcup compile'
    • add 'debug-info' subcommand
    • allow to use wget instead of curl
    • introduce optional tarball caching
    • install recommended GHC version
    • list available/supported GHC versions

    Bugfixes:

    • better discovery of distro binary tarball due to meta file
    • make unpacking more robust
    • make uninstallation more robust and safer (with confirmation)
    • remove dangling ghc, ghci, ... symlinks after removal of active GHC
    • get rid of realpath requirement
    • check for required commands
