Given that 8.6.3 does not work at all on Windows (seems to hang when TH is involved), we should probably not make it the current stable release. See 16071, I also just run into that and had to revert to 8.6.2.

Hello devs,

I assume, the version of the current release should be bumped up to 8.6.3 here [1]?

Yes, quite right.

I'll handle this soon.

Cheers,

For the record, the plan here is to revert the regressing patch on ghc-8.6 and cut a small 8.6.4 release. Unfortunately this will mean that profiling will be broken for this release but this is the best we can do at the moment. I've been spent a large fraction of the last several weeks improving our CI story on Windows so future releases should have significantly better coverage on this platform. Cheers, - Ben
