From ben at well-typed.com Tue May 23 21:31:19 2023 From: ben at well-typed.com (Ben Gamari) Date: Tue, 23 May 2023 17:31:19 -0400 Subject: [ANNOUNCE] GHC 9.6.2 is now available Message-ID: <87a5xuohv2.fsf@smart-cactus.org> The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.6.2. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.6.2 This release is primarily a bug-fix release addressing a few issues found in 9.6.2. These include: * a number of simplifier and specialisation issues (#22761, #22549) * A bug resulting in crashes of programs using the new ``listThreads#`` primop (#23071). * A compiler crash triggered by certain uses of quantified constraints (#23171) * Various bugs in the Javascript backend have been fixed (#23399, #23360, #23346) * A missing write barrier in the non-moving collector's handling of selector thunks, resulting in undefined behavior (#22930). * The non-moving garbage collector's treatment of weak pointers has been revamped which should allow more reliable finalization of ``Weak#`` closures (#22327) * The non-moving garbage collector now bounds the amount of marking it will do during the post-marking stop-the-world phase, greatly reducing tail latencies in some programs (#22929) 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.
