+
+Version 9.6.4
+==============
+
+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.
+
+Significant Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Issues fixed in this release include:
+
+Compiler
+--------
+
+- Fix a code generator bug on AArch64 platforms resulting in invalid conditional
+ jumps (:ghc-ticket:`23746`).
+- Fix a simplifier bug that may cause segfaults and core lint failures due to
+ incorrect handling of join points (:ghc-ticket:`23952`).
+- Ensure unconstrained instance dictionaries get IPE info (:ghc-ticket:`24005`).
+- Fix a bug where we could silently truncate 64 bit values to 32 bit on
+ 32 bit architectures.
+- Fix a GHCi bug where a failure in the ``:add`` command would cause the
+ process to exit (:ghc-ticket:`24115`).
+- Fix a bug causing suboptimal error messages for certain invalid cyclic
+ module graphs with hs-boot files (:ghc-ticket:`24196`).
+- Fix a bug causing compiler panics with certain package databases involving
+ unusable units and module reexports (:ghc-ticket:`21097`, :ghc-ticket:`16996`,
+ :ghc-ticket:`11050`).
+- Fix some memory leaks in GHCi that manifest on reloads (:ghc-ticket:`24107`,
+ :ghc-ticket:`24118`).
+- Fix a bug leading to some template haskell splices failing on being reloaded
+ into GHCi due to not clearing the interactive context properly
+ (:ghc-ticket:`23405`).
+- Fix a type checker crash on certain programs involving implicitly scoped type
+ variables (:ghc-ticket:`24083`).
+- Fix a bug where certain warning flags were not recognised (:ghc-ticket:`24071`).
+- Fix an incorrect assertion in the simplifier (:ghc-ticket:`23862`).
+- Align objects in the data section properly when using the LLVM backend
+ (:ghc-ticket:`24163`).
+
+Runtime system
+--------------
+
+- Ensure concurrent thunk update is sound (:ghc-ticket:`23185`).
+- Ensure the ``listAllBlocks`` function takes the non-moving heap into account
+ (:ghc-ticket:`22627`).
+- Ensure the non-moving GC is not running when pausing
+- Fix some non-moving loops and bugs on Windows and LLP64 platforms
+ (:ghc-ticket:`23003`, :ghc-ticket:`24042`).
+- Fix a bug where certain programs could have incorrect async exception masking
+ (:ghc-ticket:`23513`).
+- Ensure we respect maximum event length and don't overflow into program
+ memory (:ghc-ticket:`24197`).
+
+Build system and packaging
+--------------------------
+
+- Ensure we use the right linker flags on AArch64 darwin (:ghc-ticket:`21712`,
+ :ghc-ticket:`24033`).
+- Fix a bug where ``-DNOSMP`` wasn't being passed to the C compiler even if the
+ target doesn't support SMP (:ghc-ticket:`24082`).
+- Ensure we use the right ``otool`` and ``install_name_tool`` on Darwin
+ (:ghc-ticket:`24211`).
+
+Core libraries
+--------------
+
+- Fix a bug in ghc-bignum where usage of `bigNatIsPowerOf2` might result in
+ out of bounds access (:ghc-ticket:`24066`).
+- Bump ``base`` to 4.18.2.0
+- base: Update to Unicode 15.1.0
+- Bump ``filepath`` to 1.4.200.1
+- Bump ``unix`` to 2.8.4.0
+- Bump ``haddock`` to 2.29.2
+- Bump ``bytestring`` to 0.11.5.3
