Did  this release fix the dataToTag# issue? I think that has a number of people concerned.

Thank you

As always, the full release notes can be found in the users guide,

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.4/docs/html/users_guide/8.4.4-notes.html#base-library

I think this base text is out of date, and could be dropped, right?

Indeed it is.

I see that stm was also bumped: though it is not listed in
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.4/docs/html/users_guide/8.4.4-notes.html#included-libraries

Also true. However, in my mind this isn't nearly as significant as the
`text` bump, which affects many users and fixes extremely bad
misbehavior.

Thanks for noticing these!

Cheers
