For some years now, HsQML* has been accumulating an increasingly complex pile of Template Haskell in its Setup script in order to accommodate all the API changes since Cabal 1.14. It couldn't last forever and indeed Cabal 2.0 has finally delivered a blow to what must have at least been a contender for the title of "world's most arcane Setup.hs". Not a fatal blow mind you, but let's say that it's less complicated than it used to be.
Last September, I very quietly released version 0.3.5.0 of HsQML which, among
other things, used the new setup-depends feature to try and stem the tide and force building the Setup script against Cabal 1.24. However, the even newer 0.3.5.1 release made last week finally adopts the Cabal 2.0 API and does away with Template Haskell. Hurray!
There are a number of other minor fixes in these two releases, mostly adjusting for newer versions of Haskell tools and libraries.
* For the uninitiated, HsQML is a Haskell binding to the Qt Quick user interface toolkit.
release-0.3.5.1 - 2018.03.28
* Fixed building with Semigroup/Monoid changes in base 4.11 (GHC 8.4.1).
* Fixed crash if setDebugLogLevel called before other functions.
* Fixed GHCi cbits library install location.
* Changed Setup script to use Cabal 2 API only.
* Relaxed Cabal constraint on 'QuickCheck'.
release-0.3.5.0 - 2017.09.08
* Added facility for setting Qt application flags.
* Fixed building GHCi objects with Cabal 1.24.
* Relaxed Cabal constraint on 'QuickCheck' and fixed test suite.
* Relaxed Cabal constraint on 'directory'.
