+Cabal and Cabal-syntax 3.14.2.0 changelog and release notes
+---
+
+### Significant changes
+
+- GHC arguments are no longer swallowed by enabling documentation [#10782](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10782) [#10783](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10783)
+
+  Arguments to GHC are now properly concatenated with `-haddock` if documentation is enabled.
+
+- Honour the `-working-dir` flag when executing testsuite executables. [#10704](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10704) [#10725](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10725)
+
+  Honour the `-working-dir` flag when executing testsuite executables. This fixes a
+  regression in Cabal-3.14.0.0.
+
+- Fix duplicate environment variables in test and benchmark runs [#10718](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10718) [#10827](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10827)
+
+  Cabal no longer creates duplicate environment variables when running test
+  suites, benchmarks, or internal executables. Previously, when setting up the
+  environment for these processes, Cabal would append the overridden environment
+  to the existing environment, creating duplicates of the same variable.
+
+- Set `<pkgname>_datadir` to an absolute path when running tests [#10717](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10717) [#10828](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10828)
+
+  Fix a regression where `<pkgname>_datadir` was set to a relative path. This
+  caused issues when running testsuites which changed the working directory and
+  accessed datafiles.
+
+### Other changes
+
+- Remove descriptions for sandbox in replCommand [#10482](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10482) [#10493](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10493)
+
+  Text provided by `Setup.hs repl --help` contained outdated information concerning sandbox, which have now been removed.
+
+- Adds more version range checks to `cabal check`. [#9806](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/9806) [#10554](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10554)
+
+  For dependencies, warns about and checks that version range bounds for:
+
+  - lower bounds are inclusive, don't use (>)
+  - upper bounds are exclusive, don't use (<=)
+  - upper bounds don't have trailing zeros, don't end with (*.0).
+
+- OpenBSD `--strip-unneeded` sometimes strips too much [#10616](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/10616)
+
+  OpenBSD's `--strip-unneeded` thinks some symbols are unneeded that are in fact
+  needed when C bits are involved, so suppress its use.
+
+  Taken from the OpenBSD ports repo (https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/ports/lang/ghc/patches/patch-libraries_Cabal_Cabal_Distribution_Simple_Program_Strip_hs);
+  brought to our attention by maerwald.
+
+
+- Suppress ghc-pkg warnings emitted when an empty packages is being registered [#9997](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9997)
+
+  When a package contains a library that has no modules, `./Setup register`
+  tries to register the library with fields `haddock-interfaces:` and
+  `haddock-html:` pointing at non-existent files or directories, and `ghc-pkg
+  register` warns about them.
+
+  To suppress the warnings prevent these fields from being generated when
+  there are no modules.
