+
+Version 9.4.8
+==============
+
+The significant changes to the various parts of the compiler are listed in the
+following sections.
+
+The :ghc-flag:`LLVM backend <-fllvm>` of this release is to be used with LLVM
+10, 11, 12, 13, or 14.
+
+Significant Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Issues fixed in this release include:
+
+Compiler
+--------
+
+- Fix a recompilation checking bug where GHC may miss changes in transitive
+ dependencies when deciding to relink a program (:ghc-ticket:`23724`).
+- Fix a compiler panic resulting from incorrect eta-reduction of join points
+ (:ghc-ticket:`23922`).
+- Fix a code generator bug on AArch64 platforms resulting in invalid conditional
+ jumps (:ghc-ticket:`23746`).
+- Improve STG code generation in certain scenarios (:ghc-ticket:`23783`).
+- Fix a bug where we could silently truncate 64 bit values to 32 bit on
+ 32 bit architectures.
+- Fix ``-split-sections`` on Windows (:ghc-ticket:`22834`).
+
+Runtime system
+--------------
+
+- Remove an assertion prone to race conditions (:ghc-ticket:`22563`).
+- Fix some crashes and loops with the non-moving GC (:ghc-ticket:`24042, :ghc-ticket:`23003`).
+- Properly escape characters when writing JSON profiles (``-pJ``) (:ghc-ticket:`23924`).
+
+Build system and packaging
+--------------------------
+
+- Ensure ``-split-sections`` is enabled while building binary distributions for
+ all platforms where this is supported (:ghc-ticket:`21135`).
+- Make the configure script use ``AC_PATH_TOOL`` instead of ``AC_PATH_PROG`` to
+ detect tools, making cross-compilation easier (:ghc-ticket:`21601`).
+- Fix a bug where ``-DNOSMP`` wasn't being passed to the C compiler even if the
+ target doesn't support SMP (:ghc-ticket:`24082`).
+
+Core libraries
+--------------
+
+- Bump ``base`` to 4.17.2.1
+- Bump ``bytestring`` to 0.11.5.3
+- Bump ``process`` to 1.6.18.0
+
+Included libraries
+------------------
+
+The package database provided with this distribution also contains a number of
+packages other than GHC itself. See the changelogs provided with these packages
+for further change information.
