[ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.6.5 is now available

Hello everyone, The GHC team is proud to announce the release of GHC 8.6.5. The source distribution, binary distributions, and documentation are available at https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.5 Release notes are also available [1]. This release fixes a handful of issues with 8.6.4: - Binary distributions once again ship with Haddock documentation including syntax highlighted source of core libraries (#16445) - A build system issue where use of GCC with `-flto` broke `configure` was fixed (#16440) - An bug affecting Windows platforms wherein XMM register values could be mangled when entering STG has been fixed (#16514) - Several Windows packaging issues resulting from the recent CI rework. (#16408, #16398, #16516) Do note that due to linking issues (see #15934) profiling will be rather unreliable on Windows. This will be fixed in 8.8.1. As always, if anything looks amiss do let us know. Happy compiling! Cheers, - Ben [1] http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.6.5/docs/html/users_guide/8.6.5-notes.ht...
