Description

General summary/comments (optional)

Version 1.2.0 introduces pretty-printing of dependency resolution errors (#1912). This is unsuitable for users who may have vision impairment issues, and who have set their terminal colors to meet their own needs.

Please revert the change, or provide the option to disable colored output. (Such an option is standard for most command-line software; a flag like "--color={never,always,auto}" is provided for even basic command utilities like "ls" and "grep".)

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to build any project with dependencies not found in the snapshot.

Expected

Displays errors in color.

Actual

Displays errors in color.

Method of installation

  • Official binary, downloaded from stackage.org or fpcomplete's package repository
