Changelog of @hackage/stack 0.1.4.0

0.1.4.0

Major changes:

You now have more control over how GHC versions are matched, e.g. "use exactly this version," "use the specified minor version, but allow patches," or "use the given minor version or any later minor in the given major release." The default has switched from allowing newer later minor versions to a specific minor version allowing patches. For more information, see #736 and #784.
Support added for compiling with GHCJS
stack can now reuse prebuilt binaries between snapshots. That means that, if you build package foo in LTS-3.1, that binary version can be reused in LTS-3.2, assuming it uses the same dependencies and flags. #878

Other enhancements:

Added the --docker-env argument, to set environment variables in Docker container.
Set locale environment variables to UTF-8 encoding for builds to avoid "commitBuffer: invalid argument" errors from GHC #793
Enable translitation for encoding on stdout and stderr #824
By default, stack upgrade automatically installs GHC as necessary #797
Added the ghc-options field to stack.yaml #796
Added the extra-path field to stack.yaml
Code page changes on Windows only apply to the build command (and its synonyms), and can be controlled via a command line flag (still defaults to on) #757
Implicitly add packages to extra-deps when a flag for them is set #807
Use a precompiled Setup.hs for simple build types #801
Set --enable-tests and --enable-benchmarks optimistically #805
--only-configure option added #820
Check for duplicate local package names

--file-watch will ignore files that are in your VCS boring/ignore files #703
Add --numeric-version option
