GHC 9.0.2 adds first class AArch64/Darwin support using the LLVM<br>
backend, as well as fixing a number of critical correctness bugs<br>
with the 9.0.1 release, along with numerous improvements to compiler<br>
performance and memory usage:<br>
<br>
* First-class support for Apple M1 hardware using GHC's LLVM ARM<br>
backend.<br>
<br>
* Fix a number of incorrect rewrite rules for `fromInteger` (#19345,<br>
#20066).<br>
<br>
* Fix a number of runtime system and GC bugs which typically manifested<br>
in crashes (#19417, #19297, #19645, #19667, #18033, #20132, #19715,<br>
#20399, #20414, #20649, #19147, #20051, #20093)<br>
<br>
* Fixes for various compiler performance and memory usage issues<br>
(#20134, #13586, #20509, #19668, #19996, #19471)<br>
<br>
* Improvements and bug fixes for the code generator and optimiser<br>
(#18638, #19581, #19700, #19996, #19181, #19822)<br>
<br>
* Fixes for typechecker bugs (#19410 , #19191, #19522, #19400, #19849)<br>
<br>
* Bug fixes for the frontend and parser (#19397, #19838, #19518, #19777, #20242, #19786)<br>
<br>
* Emit warnings if Unicode Bidirectional Formatting characters are found<br>
in the source, possibly misleading code reviewers (#20263).<br>
<br>
* Many packaging related fixes, including versioned `ghc-pkg`<br>
executables (#20087), and actually distributing GHC versions linked<br>
against the `native` big integer backend (#18967, #19953) on both<br>
Windows and Alpine Linux. Some previous releases were still linked<br>
against the `GMP` library due to a misconfiguration of the builders.<br>
<br>
* A significant refactoring of `process` fixing numerous bugs mostly on<br>
Apple platforms (#19994, [process refactoring](<a href="https://github.com/haskell/process/pull/208)" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/haskell/process/pull/208)</a>).<br>
<br>
* Bug fixes for the linker on Darwin platforms (#20004, #19968, #19950).<br>
<br>
A complete list of bug fixes and improvements can be found in the [release<br>
notes](<a href="https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.0.2/docs/html/users_guide/9.0.2-notes.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.0.2/docs/html/users_guide/9.0.2-notes.html</a>).<br>
<br>
Finally, thank you to Microsoft Research, GitHub, IOHK, the Zw3rk<br>
stake pool, Tweag I/O, Serokell, Equinix, SimSpace, and other<br>
anonymous contributors whose on-going financial and in-kind support<br>
has facilitated GHC maintenance and release management over the years.<br>
Moreover, this release would not have been possible without the hundreds<br>
of open-source contributors whose work comprise this release.<br>
<br>
As always, do open a [ticket][] if you see anything amiss.<br>
<br>
Happy Holidays and Happy Hacking!<br>
