<br>
The GHC team is pleased to announce the first alpha release of 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-alpha1" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.8.1-alpha1</a><br>
<br>
A draft of the release notes is also available [1].<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>
 * 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>
<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>
 * More locations where users can write `forall` (GHC Proposal #0007)<br>
<br>
 * Further work on the Hadrian build system<br>
<br>
This release starts the pre-release cycle for GHC 8.8. This cycle is<br>
starting quite a bit later than expected due recent work on GHC's CI and<br>
release infrastructure. See the GHC Blog [2] for more on this.<br>
<br>
As always, if anything looks amiss do let us know.<br>
<br>
Happy compiling!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
