We are happy to announce a Release for the new major version release for the VSCode Haskell Extension!

Many developers have contributed new features, and this announcement tells you about the latest and greatest changes!

Previously, VSCode downloaded new HLS binaries automatically. The big new exciting change is that we now use GHCup and can manage the following Haskell Tools for you: HLS, GHC, stack and cabal. To install HLS binaries automatically, make sure you have ghcup installed!

The first time you use the new Extension you will be asked whether you want to manually manage your Haskell Toolchain binaries or GHCup should take care of it as it sees fit.

The choice you have:

  • GHCup: Choose this if you don't want to worry about HLS binaries, etc...
  • PATH: Choose this if you need tight control over which tools you have installed. Nothing will be installed

However, you don't have to choose between extremes! You have fine-grained control over which tools GHCup is allowed to install/manage.
