Hi everyone, The Cabal team would like to ask our users if anyone would object to the Nix Integration being removed (following a reasonable deprecation cycle). It has been reported to us that the feature is non-functional, misleading and the documentation lacking.

This release mainly introduces nightly support. Also see: https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/guide/#nightlies...

Today, I am happy to announce the initial release of the botan-bindings and botan-low packages to hackage. This is the result of more than 7 months of sustained effort to provide a series of bindings to the Botan C++ cryptography library, and was made possible through support from the Haskell Foundation and funding provided by...

The focus of ZuriHac is being a community event and hackathon, but we will also have some...

Hello everyone, Two years ago I created get-tested, a tool that reads your cabal file, extracts the tested-with stanza and produces a test matrix for GitHub Actions. It has served me well to this day, but it also recently received a very useful contribution from @turion, who wrote a reusable Github Action for it! I am extremely...

The Haskell Cryptography Group is glad to announce the first public release of our low-level bindings to libsodium....

Anyone who meets the following criteria should apply: Candidates should have enough bandwidth to review merge requests to base on a semi-frequent basis (3 to 5 per month), and sustain this for their 3 years term in a healthy manner. Candidates should be able to...

Perhaps we could also have a cabal doctests command?

Logs are a critical thing in production systems and I would like to start a discussion about bringing low-level support for efficient logging into GHC

Hi everyone, The Cabal development community is sending a call for participation in our quality assurance (QA) programme. We are looking to improve the quality of the software we ship on the Windows platform.

Hi everyone, servant-0.20.1 has a release candidate available! It is a compatibility release to support aeson-2.2.

Binaries for this release are available at Index of /~hls/haskell-language-server-2.3.0.0/. These binaries can be installed using GHCup or the Haskell VSCode extension. All of these tarballs have associated GPG signatures. The signature should be from Zubin Duggal (key ID 588764FBE22D19C4). The prebuilt binaries in this release...

The Haskell ecosystem has accumulated a wealth of developer tools over the years. Some of them, such as Hoogle and HLint, have existed for nearly two decades, while others, such as the Haskell Language Server and Retrie, are much more recent. GHC has changed substantially in that time, and this presents a significant challenge...

Releases notes

Hi all, I’ve been working for some time on the Eclair compiler (written in Haskell) and I am now at the point where I need to test the LLVM IR my compiler is generating. How would you approach testing this generated code?
