[ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.8.2 is now available
Hello everyone, The GHC team is proud to announce the release of GHC 8.8.2. The source distribution, binary distributions, and documentation are available at https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.8.2 Release notes are also available [1]. This release fixes a handful of issues affecting 8.8.1: - A bug (#17088) in the compacting garbage collector resulting in segmentations faults under specific circumstances. Note that this may affect user programs even if they did not explicitly request the compacting GC (using the -c RTS flag) since GHC may fallback to compacting collection during times of high memory pressure. - A code generation bug (#17334) resulting in GHC panics has been fixed. - A bug in the `process` library causing builds using `hsc2hs` to fail non-deterministically on Windows has been fixed (Trac #17480) - A typechecker bug (#12088) resulting in programs being unexpectedly rejected has been fixed. - A bug in the implementation of compact normal forms resulting in segmentation faults in some uses (#17044) has been fixed. - A bug causing GHC to incorrectly complain about incompatible LLVM versions when using LLVM 7.0.1 has been fixed (#16990). As always, if anything looks amiss do let us know. Happy compiling! Cheers, - Ben [1] https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.8.2/docs/html/users_guide/8.8.2-notes.ht...

Congrats I have built it already for the Fedora ghc:8.8 module stream: it should go into updates-testing-modular soon for F30, F31, and Rawhide. Thanks, Jens

Hmm, this appears to be a CDN issue given that the file exists on the server and https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.8.3/docs/html/users_guide//8.8.3-notes.h... works. This is quite odd given that I am quite aggressive in purging the CDN at this point. I'll try to investigate tomorrow. Cheers, - Ben
