+Cabal 3.6.0.0 Changelog
+---
+
+
+- Added fields :pkg-field:`extra-libraries-static` and
+  :pkg-field:`extra-lib-dirs-static` to allow Haskell libraries to remember
+  linker flags needed for fully static linking of system libraries into executables. [#7536](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/7536)
+
+- The existing field :pkg-field:`pkgconfig-depends` can used to append the relevant
+  output of ``pkg-config --libs --static`` to these new fields automatically.
+  When :pkg-field:`extra-libraries-static` is not given, it defaults to
+  :pkg-field:`extra-libraries`. When :pkg-field:`extra-lib-dirs-static` is not
+  given, it defaults to :pkg-field:`extra-lib-dirs`. [#7536](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/7536)
