The\nnext time they do `cabal update`, they see the same message and become\nconfused.\n\nThis commit changes the message in question to be more informative and\nhelpful.  In particular, if the currently running version of\ncabal-install is older than the newest version available from hackage,\nthe user will not be told simply that \"there is a new version of\ncabal-install available\", but rather will be informed exactly what new\nversions are available, and what version they are currently running,\nalong with a hint to change their $PATH variable if it turns out they're\nnot running the version of cabal-install they thought they were.","Keshav Kini",true],["9052ff492d07bf26d03ffc970147c3e65b9e9d5f","ecc3200f6a332df014745e9d26950d3fd6ac5d9c@galois.com","Remove first-person and unix-specific language\n\nIn accordance with @23Skidoo's comments on github.","Keshav Kini",true],["d9dbd16df089c258c559c69d0bdc2a14711f3e2b","5c53b53d2a94579426b41a2f5a7fae3851d636a3@gmail.com","Merge pull request #2000 from kini/upgrade-available\n\nBetter message when new cabal-install available","Mikhail Glushenkov",true]],"size":3,"ref":"refs/heads/master","head":"d9dbd16df089c258c559c69d0bdc2a14711f3e2b"}
