> `other-modules` field

> Windows (this is necessary for autoconf >=2.7)
> - Significant speedups to the solver

> ## Plans for 3.8
>
> The 3.6 release marks the first in a series where we work to modernize 
> the Cabal project by means of doing away with the idiosyncratic and 
> historical cruft built up, improving the contribution experience.
>
> Over the next 6 months, we'll be working hard to improve the state of 
> the repository, including onboarding more maintainers and welcoming 
> new contributors with clearer contribution requirements. To start, 
> we've identified issues and new features that we aim to tackle for the 
> 3.8 release spanning the following:
>
> - Better build info for tool creators
> - Support for stable package sets like LTS
> - Dropping build/test support for GHCs outside of the 5 year window
> - Finishing the multilib work
> - a byte-for-byte bidirectional parser
> - etc.

> help fund work needed to improve the IDE.
