**Changes since v2.3.3**

Major changes:
* Add the `snapshot-location-base` yaml configuration option, which allows to
  override the default location of snapshot configuration files. This option
  affects how snapshot synonyms (LTS/Nightly) are expanded to URLs by the
  `pantry` library.
* `docker-network` configuration key added to overwrite docker `--net` arg

Behavior changes:

* File watching now takes into account specified targets, old behavior could
  be restored using the new flag `--watch-all`
  [#5310](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5310)

Other enhancements:

* `stack ls dependencies json` now includes fields `sha256` and `size` for
  dependencies of `type` `archive` in `location`.
  [#5280](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5280)
* Build failures now show a hint to scroll up to the corresponding section
  [#5279](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5279)
* Customisable output styles (see `stack --help` and the `--stack-colors`
  option, and `stack ls stack-colors --help`) now include `info`, `debug`,
  `other-level`, `secondary` and `highlight`, used with verbose output.

Bug fixes:

* Fix `stack test --coverage` when using Cabal 3
* `stack new` now generates PascalCase'd module name correctly.
  [#5376](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5376)
* Connection issues to Casa server no longer cause builds to failure. Casa acts
  only as an optimizing cache layer, not a critical piece of infrastructure.
* Fix modified time busting caches by always calculating sha256 digest during
  the build process.
