+ * withOS had a type level bug that allowed ensureProperty to be used inside
+ it with a Property that does not match the type of the withOS itself.
+ (API change)
+ The fix may cause some of your valid uses of withOS to no longer type
+ check; the best way to work around that is to use pickOS to pick between
+ several properties that are further specialized using withOS.
+ For an example of how to do that, see the source code to
+ Propellor.Property.Borg.installed
+ * Propellor.Property.Cron.runPropellor is a Property DebianLike; it was
+ incorrectly a Property UnixLike before and that wrong type was hidden by
+ the withOS bug.
+ * Some openbsd portability fixes. Thanks, rsiddharth.
+ * Added Libvirt module. Thanks, Sean Whitton.
+ * When bootstrapping on Debian, libghc-stm-dev may not be available,
+ as it's become part of ghc, so check before trying to install it.
+ * Fix build with ghc 8.6.3.
+ * Avoid exposing the constructor of OuterMetaTypesWitness, to avoid
+ the kind of mistake that led to the withOS bug.
+ * Merged Utility changes from git-annex.
+ * Fix --spin crash when ~/.ssh/ directory did not already exist."""]] \ No newline at end of file
