=====================================================================<br>
The (Interactive) Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 7.10.2<br>
=====================================================================<br>
<br>
The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new bug-fix release of GHC,<br>
7.10.2.<br>
<br>
There have been a number of significant bug fixes since the 7.10.1 (with<br>
over 70 defects fixed). These include fixes affecting type-checker<br>
correctness, runtime stability, and compiler performance. For this<br>
reason we highly recommend that users of 7.10.1 upgrade quickly.<br>
<br>
Note that due to changes made in this release to GHC's optimizer,<br>
previously fragile-but-working rewrite rules may fail to fire. One<br>
example of this was found in the widely-used `text` package late in the<br>
release cycle, which manifested in long compilation times and poor code<br>
generation for `Text` literals (see [Trac #10528]). Users are advised to<br>
use text >=1.2.1.2 which includes more robust rewrite rules.<br>
<br>
The full release notes including a complete listing of the changes in<br>
this release can be found here,<br>

<br>
<br>
How to get it<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
<br>
Both binary and source tarballs of GHC itself are available on<br>
the release download page,<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_10_2" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_10_2</a><br>
<br>
For a more smoother, better integrated experience users are encouraged<br>
to find a Haskell distribution. While these alternatives may not yet<br>
include 7.10.2, they offer tools and libraries to quickly get users up<br>
and running, as well as potentially better integration with the host<br>
operating system and package manager. See,<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.haskell.org/downloads" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.haskell.org/downloads</a><br>
<br>
for more details.<br>
<br>
<br>
Background<br>
~~~~~~~~~~<br>
<br>
Haskell is a standard lazy functional programming language.<br>
<br>
GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is<br>
an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of<br>
platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick<br>
development. The distribution includes space and time profiling<br>
facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various<br>
language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign<br>
language interfaces (C, whatever). GHC is distributed under a<br>
BSD-style open source license.<br>
<br>
A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries,<br>
specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references,<br>
contact information, links to research groups) are available from the<br>
Haskell home page (see below),<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.haskell.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.haskell.org/</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Supported Platforms<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
<br>
The list of platforms supported by GHC and the people responsible for<br>
them can be found here,<br>
<br>

<br>
Ports to other platforms are possible with varying degrees of<br>
difficulty. The Building Guide describes how to go about porting to a<br>
new platform:<br>
