- Fixed a bug that caused GHC to panic when using the AArch64 ncg and :ghc-flag:`-fregs-graph`
on certain programs (:ghc-ticket:`24941`).
+- Fix invalid optimisation of Cmm programs on 32-bit platforms when targetting 64-bit targets (:ghc-ticket:`24893` and :ghc-ticket:`24700`)
+- Improve float-out surrounding applications of ``runRW#`` (:ghc-ticket:`25055`)
+- Fix :ghc-flag:`-fregs-graph` crash when targetting AArch64 (:ghc-ticket:`24941`)
+- Fix native code generator miscompilation of signed sub-word arguments of FFI calls on x86 (:ghc-ticket:`25018`)
+- Fix code generation of foreign exports with more than 6 arguments when some are subword-width (:ghc-ticket:`24314`)
+- Fix recompilation avoidance behavior of :ghc-flag:`-fwrite-if-simplified-core` (:ghc-ticket:`24656`)
+- Fix linking error when :extension:`TypeData` and :extension:`StrictData` are in use (:ghc-ticket:`24620`)
+- Fix miscompilation by x86 native code generator due to shortcutting (:ghc-ticket:`24507`)
+- Fix uses of ``(~)`` and ``(@)`` being rejected in :extension:`TemplateHaskell` splices (:ghc-ticket:`23748`)
Runtime system
--------------
-- Internal fragmentation incurred by the non-moving GC's allocator has been reduced for small objects.
+- Significantly improve performance of code loading via dynamic linking (:ghc-ticket:`23415`)
+- Internal fragmentation incurred by the non-moving garbage collector's allocator has been reduced for small objects.
In one real-world application, this has reduced resident set size by about 20% and modestly improved run-time.
See :ghc-ticket:`23340`.
:rts-flag:`--nonmoving-dense-allocator-count=⟨count⟩` has been added to fine-tune this behaviour.
+- Fix runtime crash of the :rts-flag:`nonmoving garbage collector <--nonmoving-gc>` due to weak pointers with static key (:ghc-ticket:`24492`)
+- Allow heap profiling when the :rts-flag:`--nonmoving-gc` is in use
+GHCi
+----
+
+- Fix a crash involving use of field selectors in GHCi (:ghc-ticket:`25109`)
+
+JavaScript backend
+------------------
+
+- Fix compiler crash involving rubbish literals (:ghc-ticket:`25177`, :ghc-ticket:`24664`)
+
+``base``
+--------
+
+- Fix spurious closing of file descriptors after ``fork`` on platforms using the KQueue event manager backend (:ghc-ticket:`24672`)
+
+Haddock
+-------
+- Fix source links to hyperlinked sources output (:ghc-ticket:`24086`)
+
+Other Core Libraries
+--------------------
+
+- Bump ``stm`` to 2.5.3.1
+- Bump ``deepseq`` to 1.5.1.0
+- Bump ``array`` to 0.5.8.0
+- Bump ``Cabal`` to 3.10.3.0
+- Bump ``directory`` to 1.3.8.5
+- Bump ``process`` to 1.6.25.0
