[Haskell-cafe] Release: stan, extending support to GHC 9.6

[Tom Ellis]

I'm pleased to announce an even newer release of `stan`, a static
analysis tool for Haskell. This release extends last week's release by
adding support for 9.6, extending the supported range to 8.8-9.6.

### About `stan`

Stan is a command-line tool for analysing Haskell projects. It
discovers which parts of the code can potentially be improved, and
offers suggestions on how to do so. Read more about  `stan` in its
[`README`](https://github.com/kowainik/stan/#what-this-tool-is-about).

### Installation

I recommend obtaining `stan` from Hackage by following [the
installation instructions in the
README](https://github.com/kowainik/stan/#hackage).

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/stan-0.1.0.0

### Help wanted

`stan` lacks active maintainers and is currently in essential
maintainance only mode. I am helping out to make sure `stan` can
continue to build with newer GHCs. I would welcome assistance,
particularly on the following issues:

* Supporting GHC 9.8
* Prospective support for GHC 9.10
* Fixing caching on Github Actions

If you would like to contribute to Stan please [create an
issue](https://github.com/kowainik/stan/issues) on the Github
repository.

to provide enough type information, notably the later releases in the
9.2 series.
