[ANNOUNCE] Glasgow Haskell Compiler 8.10.3 released

Hello all, The GHC team is happy to announce the release of GHC 8.10.3. Source and binary distributions are available at the usual place: https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.10.3/ GHC 8.10.3 fixes a number of issues in present in GHC 8.10.2 including: * Numerous stability improves on Windows * More robust support for architectures with weak memory ordering guarantees (e.g. modern ARM hardware). * GHC can now split dynamic objects to accomodate macOS' RPATH size limitation when building large projects (#14444) * Several correctness bugs in the new low-latency garbage collector * Many, many other bug-fixes Note that at the moment we still require that macOS Catalina users exempt the binary distribution from the notarization requirement by running `xattr -cr .` on the unpacked tree before running `make install`. This situation will hopefully be improved for GHC 9.0.1 with the resolution of #17418 [1]. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17418

Thanks! There doesn't seem to be a ghc-8.10.3-release tag in the git@gitlab.haskell.org:ghc/ghc.git repository. Shouldn't there be? -- Shayne Fletcher

Indeed. Fixed! Cheers, - Ben

Hi Ben,
The package ghc-8.10.3-x86_64-unknown-mingw32-integer-simple.tar.xz reports
Tamar@PowPow /t/ghc> ./ghc-8.10.3/bin/ghc.exe -v
Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 8.10.3, stage 2 booted by GHC version
8.8.3
...
wired-in package integer-wired-in mapped to integer-gmp-1.0.3.0
...
Tamar@PowPow /t/ghc> ./ghc-8.10.3/bin/ghc-pkg list | grep integer
integer-gmp-1.0.3.0
Is this package correct? The naming seems different from the one in the
9.0.1-alpha as well (that one had an explicit -integer-simple in the folder
name when uncompressed)
Thanks,
Tamar

GHC 8.10.3 fixes a number of issues in present in GHC 8.10.2 including:
* Numerous stability improves on Windows
* More robust support for architectures with weak memory ordering guarantees (e.g. modern ARM hardware).
* GHC can now split dynamic objects to accomodate macOS' RPATH size limitation when building large projects (#14444)
* Several correctness bugs in the new low-latency garbage collector
* Many, many other bug-fixes
Note that at the moment we still require that macOS Catalina users exempt the binary distribution from the notarization requirement by running `xattr -cr .` on the unpacked tree before running `make install`. This situation will hopefully be improved for GHC 9.0.1 with the resolution of #17418 [1].
Cheers,
