<br>
<br>The GHC team is proud to announce the first release candidate of 8.4.2.
<br>the source distribution, binary distributions, and documentation are
<br>available at
<br>
<br> https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.2-rc1
<br>
<br>This release follows so closely to 8.4.1 due to a number last-minute
<br>bug-fixes that didn't quite make it into 8.4.1. This includes fixes for:
<br>
<br> * #14705, the interpreter being broken on some systems
<br> * #14779, where the compiler produces invalid code when used with -g
<br> * #14891, where a selection of GHC testsuite cases fail on OS X
<br> * #5129, where the simplifier would incorrectly reorder evaluation in
<br> under some conditions.
<br>
<br>Since this is a relatively small bugfix release we are bypassing the
<br>alpha releases and moving right to the release candidate stage. If all
<br>goes well the final release will be cut next week.
<br>
<br>Happy testing
<br>
<br>Cheers,
<br>
<br>- Ben
