+
+Version 9.8.4
+==============
+
+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
+--------
+
+- :ghc-flag:`-Wmissing-home-modules` now behaves correctly when multiple units
+  have expose the same module name (:ghc-ticket:`25122`).
+
+Packaging
+---------
+
+- Manual pages are now included in all binary distributions (:ghc-ticket:`24465`).
+
+Other Core Libraries
+--------------------
+
+- The `filepath` library has been upgraded to 1.4.300.2, fixing a potentially
+  exploitable behavior with `splitFileName` on Windows (:ghc-ticket:`24597`).
+
+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.
