<br>
This release is primarily a bugfix release addressing some issues<br>
found in 9.4.6. These include:<br>
<br>
* Many bug fixes for the simplifier, preventing compiler panics, loops and<br>
incorrect code generation (#22761, #22549, #23208, #22761, #22272, #23146,<br>
#23012, #22547).<br>
* Bug fixes for the typechecker involving newtype family instances, making<br>
type equalities more robust and bugs having to do with defaulting representation<br>
polymorphic type variables (#23329, #23333, #23143, #23154, #23176).<br>
* Some bug fixes for code generation, particularly on the aarch64 backend,<br>
including adding more memory barriers for array read operations (#23541, #23749).<br>
* Some bug fixes for windows builds, ensuring the reliablility of IO manager shutdown<br>
and a bug fix for the RTS linker on windows (#23691, #22941).<br>
* A bug fix for the non-moving GC ensuring mutator allocations are properly<br>
accounted for (#23312).<br>
* A bug fix preventing some segfaults by ensuring that pinned allocations respect<br>
block size (#23400).<br>
* Many bug fixes for the bytecode interpreter, allowing a greater subset<br>
of the language to be interpreted (#22376, #22840, #22051, #21945, #23068, #22958).<br>
* ... and a few more. See the [release notes] for a full accounting.<br>
<br>
As some of the fixed issues do affect correctness users are encouraged to<br>
upgrade promptly.<br>
<br>
We would like to thank Microsoft Azure, GitHub, IOG, the Zw3rk stake pool,<br>
Well-Typed, Tweag I/O, Serokell, Equinix, SimSpace, Haskell Foundation, and<br>
other anonymous contributors whose on-going financial and in-kind support has<br>
facilitated GHC maintenance and release management over the years. Finally,<br>
this release would not have been possible without the hundreds of open-source<br>
contributors whose work comprise this release.<br>
<br>
As always, do give this release a try and open a [ticket] if you see<br>
anything amiss.<br>
<br>
Happy compiling,<br>
