Hi all, After several false-starts, I believe we now have a candidate pipeline [1] for the 9.8.4 release. This includes bumps to the unix and filepath submodules, a few compiler correctness fixes, and some documentation packaging improvements. Do let me know if there are any questions or concerns, otherwise I will move ahead with release mid-next week. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/pipelines/103556

Hi all,
... For the record, a bootstrapping issue and further testsuite irregularities have required another pipeline. The new release candidate is [1]. The diff [2] between this and the previous pipeline is quite small so I do not believe this should invalidate any testing you may have done thusfar. I will provide another ping once this pipeline is green, along with an updated proposed release timeline. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/pipelines/103755 [2] https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/compare/1b2f40f996640a528c2039ec51cacc5b8c305f89...0768fe933ade0962a324f407e839d21c4469cc23?from_project_id=1&straight=false

The most recent release pipeline [1] is now finishing the last set of checks. I will plan on releasing on Friday unless someone raises concern. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/pipelines/103809

The release is essentially ready. I am happy to hold off announcing until Monday if this helps downstream packagers; just let me know. Otherwise I may announce as early as this evening EST. Cheers, - Ben

Just as a reminder: whenever upstream provides a PR to ghcup-metadata vanilla channel, I consider that an official release announcement for my purposes. On 11/30/24 3:32 AM, Ben Gamari via ghc-releases wrote:
