Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
The GHC team is very happy to announce the availability of GHC 8.6.4, a<br>
bugfix release in the GHC 8.6 series. The source distribution, binary<br>
distributions, and documentation for this release are available at<br>
<br>
<a href="https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.4" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.4</a><br>
<br>
The 8.6.4 release fixes several regressions present in 8.6.3 including:<br>
<br>
- A regression resulting in segmentation faults on Windows introduced<br>
by the fix for #16071 backported in 8.6.3. This fix has been reverted,<br>
meaning that 8.6.4 is once again susceptible to #16071. #16071 will<br>
be fixed in GHC 8.8.1.<br>
<br>
- A bug resulting in incorrect locking on Darwin, potentially resulting<br>
in hangs at shutdown (#16150)<br>
<br>
- A few bugs in the profiled runtime resulting in the potential for<br>
memory unsafety has been fixed (#15508).<br>
<br>
- The `process` and `transformers` libraries shipped now properly<br>
reflect released Hackage releases (#16199)<br>
<br>
- A bug where TH name resolution would break in a plugin context has<br>
been fixed (#16104)<br>
<br>
- Compilers that do not support TemplateHaskell no longer advertise<br>
such support in `--supported-languages` (#16331)<br>
<br>
As a few of these issues are rather serious users are strongly<br>
encouraged to upgrade. See Trac [1] for a full list of issues resolved<br>
in this release.<br>
<br>
Note that this release ships with one significant but long-standing bug<br>
(#14251): Calls to functions taking both Float# and Double# may result<br>
in incorrect code generation when compiled using the LLVM code generator.<br>
This is not a new issue, it has existed as long as the LLVM code<br>
generator has existed; however, changes in code generation in 8.6 made<br>
it more likely that user code using only lifted types will trigger it.<br>
<br>
Note also that this is the first release cut from our (yet again)<br>
revamped continuous integration infrastructure. While we have done a<br>
great deal of checking to ensure that the build configuration reflects<br>
that of previous releases, do let us know if something looks off.<br>
<br>
Happy compiling!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
- Ben<br>
