Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
The GHC team is pleased to announce the release candidate for GHC 8.8.1.<br>
The source distribution, binary distributions, and documentation are<br>
available at<br>
<br>
<a href="https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.8.1" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.8.1</a><br>
<br>
This release is the culmination of over 3000 commits by over one hundred<br>
contributors and has several new features and numerous bug fixes<br>
relative to GHC 8.6:<br>
<br>
* Visible kind applications are now supported (GHC Proposal #15)<br>
<br>
* Profiling now works correctly on 64-bit Windows (although still may<br>
be problematic on 32-bit Windows due to platform limitations; see<br>
#15934)<br>
<br>
* A new code layout algorithm for amd64's native code generator<br>
significantly improving the runtime performance of some kernels<br>
<br>
* The introduction of a late lambda-lifting pass which may reduce<br>
allocations significantly for some programs.<br>
<br>
* Further work on Trees That Grow, enabling improved code re-use of the<br>
Haskell AST in tooling<br>
<br>
* Users can write `forall` in more contexts (GHC Proposal #7)<br>
<br>
* The pattern-match checker is now more precise in the presence of<br>
strict fields with uninhabited types.<br>
<br>
* A comprehensive audit of GHC's memory ordering barriers has been<br>
performed, resulting in a number of fixes that should significantly<br>
improve the reliability of programs on architectures with<br>
weakly-ordered memory models (e.g. PowerPC, many ARM and AArch64<br>
implementations).<br>
<br>
* A long-standing linker limitation rendering GHCi unusable with<br>
projects with cyclic symbol dependencies has been fixed (#13786)<br>
<br>
* Further work on the Hadrian build system<br>
<br>
* Countless miscellaneous bug-fixes<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, due to a build issue (#17108) found late in the release process<br>
i386 Windows builds are currently unavailable. These will be provided in<br>
the coming weeks.<br>
<br>
As always, if anything looks amiss do let us know.<br>
<br>
Happy compiling!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
