From zubin at well-typed.com Wed Aug 6 10:20:57 2025 From: zubin at well-typed.com (Zubin Duggal) Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2025 15:50:57 +0530 Subject: [GHC-Releases] GHC 9.10.3-rc2 is now available Message-ID: <2pvhnbxa5lneok2e3ohskt3tcntqpoclxmptdk2qoquack5ovy@ofgaqxjmynll> The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the availability of the second release candidate for GHC 9.10.3. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at [downloads.haskell.org][] and via [GHCup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/). GHC 9.10.3 is a bug-fix release fixing over 50 issues of a variety of severities and scopes. A full accounting of these fixes 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][]. The changes from the first release candidate are: - Bumping the text submodule to 2.1.3 - Reverting a bug fix (!14291) that restricted previously allowed namespace specifiers (#26250) - Reverting the bump of the deepseq submodule to 1.5.2.0 (#26251) This release candidate will have a two-week testing period. If all goes well the final release will be available the week of 19 August 2025. We would like to thank Well-Typed, Tweag I/O, Juspay, QBayLogic, Channable, Serokell, 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.

As noted last time, the release process has been held up by a few significant bodies of on-going work: - the upgrade of the Windows toolchain which has revealed a number of linking issues, - enabling support for LLVM 20 (#26267), along with the resolution of a few correctness issues which were uncovered in the process (#26109) - the resolution to #23109, a rather invasive correctness fix which we want to ensure is adequately tested prior to the release, At this point we have resolved, or are close to resolving, all of these issues. We expect that #23109 will land today, with the resolution to #26109 hopefully landing shortly thereafter. One wrinkle here is a late request for a boot library bump (#26268) which has had a number of knock-on effects. We are still trying to land this in `master`; we tentatively plan to backport but given how the state of the release process we will not delay the release if things do not go smoothly. Once the above has happened we will backport to `ghc-9.14` and begin preparation of the first alpha release. This may happen as soon as Thursday.
