+Version 9.6.2
+==============
+
+The significant changes to the various parts of the compiler are listed below.
+See the `migration guide
+<https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/migration/9.6>`_ on the GHC Wiki
+for specific guidance on migrating programs to this release.
+
+The :ghc-flag:`LLVM backend <-fllvm>` of this release is to be used with LLVM
+11, 12, 13, 14 or 15.
+
+- A :ghc-ticket:`simplifier bug <22761>` resulting in compiler crashes in some
+ situations involving rules has been fixed.
+
+- Several issues affecting the bytecode interpreter's handling of optimised
+ programs have been fixed (:ghc-ticket:`23068`, :ghc-ticket:`22958`)
+
+- A specialisation bug resulting looping of some programs involving
+ non-trivial chains of instances (namely, requiring
+ :extension:`UndecidableInstances`) has been fixed (:ghc-ticket:`22549`)
+
+- A bug resulting in crashes of programs using the new ``listThreads#`` primop
+ has been fixed (:ghc-ticket:`23071`).
+
+- A compiler crash triggered by certain uses of quantified constraints has been
+ fixed (:ghc-ticket:`23171`)
+
+- Various bugs in the Javascript backend have been fixed (:ghc-ticket:`23399`,
+ :ghc-ticket:`23360`, :ghc-ticket:`23346`)
+
+- The non-moving garbage collector's treatment of weak pointers has been
+ revamped which should allow more reliable finalization of ``Weak#``
+ closures (:ghc-ticket:`22327`)
+
+- The non-moving garbage collector now bounds the amount of marking it will
+ do during the post-marking stop-the-world phase, greatly reducing tail
+ latencies in some programs (:ghc-ticket:`22929`)
+
+- A missing write barrier in the non-moving collector's handling of selector
+ thunks has been fixed (:ghc-ticket:`22930`).
