+- Add support for `GHC2024` [#9736](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/9736)
+
+  Support for the `GHC2024` language edition, introduced by GHC 9.10, has been
+  added. It can now be used in the `default-language` and `other-languages`
+  fields, and will be offered as an option by `cabal init`.

+- Redesign 'cabal path' command to account for projects [#9673](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9673)
+
+  Previously, `cabal path` was only able to query from the global configuration file, e.g., `~/.cabal/config` or the XDG equivalent.
+  We take the foundations and enhance `cabal path` to take project configuration, such as `cabal.project`, into account.
+
+  Additionally, we add support for multiple output formats, such as key-value pairs and json.
+
+  The key-value pair output prints a line for each queried key and its respective value:
+
+      key1: value2
+      key2: value2
+
+  If only a single key is queried, we print only the value, for example:
+
+      value1
+
+  The json output format is versioned by the cabal-install version, which is part of the json object.
+  Thus, all result objects contain at least the key "cabal-install-version".
+
+  We expand the `cabal path` to also produce information of the compiler that is going to be used in a `cabal build` or `cabal repl` invocation.
+  To do that, we re-configure the compiler program, and outputs the location, version and compiler flavour.
+  This is helpful for downstream tools, such as HLS, to figure out the GHC version required to compile a project with, without dependency solving.

+- Show provenance of project constraints [#9562](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/9562) [#9578](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9578)
+
+  Show imports when the solver rejects a package version due to a project
