Just as a reminder: whenever upstream provides a PR to ghcup-metadata 
vanilla channel, I consider that an official release announcement for my 
purposes.

Message-ID: <87mshd611p.fsf@smart-cactus.org>


The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.8.4.
Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are
available on the [release] page.

This release is a small release fixing a few issues noted in 9.8.3,
including:

* Update the `filepath` submodule to avoid a misbehavior of
  `splitFileName` under Windows.

* Update the `unix` submodule to fix a compilation issue on `musl` platforms

* Fix a potential source of miscompilation when building large projects
  on 32-bit platforms

* Fix unsound optimisation of `prompt#` uses

A full accounting of changes can be found in the [release notes]. As
some of the fixed issues do affect correctness users are encouraged to
upgrade promptly.

We would like to thank Microsoft Azure, GitHub, IOG, the Zw3rk stake
pool, Well-Typed, Tweag I/O, Serokell, Equinix, SimSpace, Haskell
Foundation, and other anonymous contributors whose on-going financial
and in-kind support has facilitated GHC maintenance and release
management over the years. Finally, this release would not have been
possible without the hundreds of open-source contributors whose work
comprise this release.

As always, do give this release a try and open a [ticket] if you see
anything amiss.

Happy compiling!

- Ben

Subject: [GHC-Releases] GHC 9.12.1 is now available
Message-ID: <ekr3carfz5nni3ttotg4vxycmzvo7y3xgdm75mooxbmrmud5s6@mfajegzz3jxw>

The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the release of GHC 9.12.1.
Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at
[downloads.haskell.org][].
  
We hope to have this release available via ghcup shortly.
  
GHC 9.12 will bring a number of new features and improvements, including:
  
  * The new language extension [OrPatterns] allowing you to combine multiple
    pattern clauses into one.
  
  * The [MultilineStrings] language extension to allow you to more easily write
    strings spanning multiple lines in your source code.
  
  * Improvements to the OverloadedRecordDot extension, allowing the built-in
    `HasField` class to be used for records with fields of non lifted representations.
  
  * The [NamedDefaults] language extension has been introduced allowing you to
    define defaults for typeclasses other than `Num`.
  
  * More deterministic object code output, controlled by the `-fobject-determinism`
    flag, which improves determinism of builds a lot (though does not fully do so)
    at the cost of some compiler performance (1-2%). See #12935 for the details
  
  * GHC now accepts type syntax in expressions as part of [GHC Proposal #281].
  
  * The WASM backend now has support for TemplateHaskell.
  
  * Experimental support for the RISC-V platform with the native code generator.
  
  * ... and many more
  
A full accounting of changes can be found in the [release notes][].
As always, GHC's release status, including planned future releases, can
be found on the GHC Wiki [status][].
  
We would like to thank GitHub, IOG, the Zw3rk stake pool,
Well-Typed, Tweag I/O, Serokell, Equinix, SimSpace, the Haskell
Foundation, and other anonymous contributors whose on-going financial
and in-kind support has facilitated GHC maintenance and release
management over the years. Finally, this release would not have been
possible without the hundreds of open-source contributors whose work
comprise this release.
  
As always, do give this release a try and open a [ticket][] if you see
anything amiss.

Ah sorry, I accidentally called the tag ghc-9.12.1 instead
of ghc-9.12.1-release.

The correct tag should be pushed now.

There does not appear to be a ghc-9.12.1-release branch?

Hi all,

Preparations are currently underway on GHC 9.10.2. We currently have
roughly 100 commits backported with another few dozen backport
candidates. If you have a merge request which you want to be backported
please do make sure it bears the ~"backport needed:9.10" label.

Additionally, we plan on performing the following boot library version
bumps:

    Cabal        3.12.0.0 -> 3.12.1.0
    Cabal-syntax 3.12.0.0 -> 3.12.1.0
    bytestring   0.12.1.0 -> 0.12.2.0
    array        0.5.7.0  -> 0.5.8.0
    deepseq      1.5.0.0  -> 1.5.1.0
    directory    1.3.8.3  -> 1.3.9.0
    filepath     1.5.2.0  -> 1.5.4.0
    hpc          0.7.0.1  -> 0.7.0.2
    process      1.6.19.0 -> 1.6.25.0
    text         2.1.1    -> 2.1.2
    unix         2.8.5.1  -> 2.8.6.0
    exceptions   0.10.7   -> 0.10.9
    Win32        2.14.0.0 -> 2.14.1.0

Naturally, if we find that any of these upgrades could cause significant
ecosystem disruption then we may reconsider and notify the list.

If things go according to plan, we expect that a prerelease will be
ready by mid-January 2025, with a final release coming a few weeks
later. Naturally, we will continue to report status updates on the
tracking ticket [1] and will keep ghc-releases apprised if plans change.

Cheers,

- Ben
