The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the release of GHC 9.12.3.
Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at
[downloads.haskell.org][].

GHC 9.12.3 is a bug-fix release fixing many issues of a variety of
severities and scopes, including:

* Fix a number of crashes and miscompilations in the compiler frontend (#25004, #25960, #26256)
* Improvements to efficiency of the runtime linker (#26009)
* Fixes for several bugs in bytecode generation and the bytecode interpreter (#23210, #25975, #25750)
* Fixes for bugs in the handling of WHITEHOLEs in the RTS (#26204, #26205)
* Fix incorrect code generation for SSE vector operations (#25859)
* Fix a use-after-free in the Windows runtime linker (#26613)
* Support for synchronous JSFFI exports for the wasm backend
* And many more!

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][].
