The GHC developers are very happy to at announce the availability of GHC   
9.2.2. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are   
available at downloads.haskell.org:

   https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.2.2

This release includes many bug-fixes and other improvements to 9.2.1 including:   

 * A number of bug-fixes in the new AArch64 native code generator   

 * Fixes ensuring that the `indexWord8ArrayAs*#` family of primops is handled   
   correctly on platforms lacking support for unaligned memory accesses   
   (#21015, #20987).   

 * Improvements to the compatibility story in GHC's migration to the   
   XDG Base Directory Specification (#20684, #20669, #20660)   

 * Restored compatibility with Windows 7   

 * A new `-fcompact-unwind` flag, improving compatibility with C++ libraries on   
   Apple Darwin (#11829)   

 * Introduction of a new flag, `-fcheck-prim-bounds`, enabling runtime bounds   
   checking of array primops (#20769)   

 * Unboxing of unlifted types (#20663)   

 * Numerous improvements in compiler performance.   

 * Many, many others. See the [release notes] for a full list.   

As some of the fixed issues do affect correctness users are encouraged to   
upgrade promptly.   

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

As always, do open a [ticket][] if you see anything amiss.   

Happy compiling,   

- Ben
