The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the release of GHC 9.12.4.
Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at
[downloads.haskell.org][] and via [GHCup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/).
GHC 9.12.4 is a bug-fix release fixing many issues of a variety of
severities and scopes, including:
* Fixed a critical code generation regression where sub-word division produced
incorrect results (#26711, #26668), similar to the bug fixed in 9.12.2
* Numerous fixes for register allocation bugs, preventing data corruption
when spilling and reloading registers
(#26411, #26526, #26537, #26542, #26550)
* Fixes for several compiler crashes, including issues with CSE (#25468),
and the simplifier(#26681), implicit parameters (#26451), and the type-class
specialiser (#26682)
* Fixed cast worker/wrapper incorrectly firing on INLINE functions (#26903)
* Fixed LLVM backend miscompilation of bit manipulation operations
(#20645, #26065, #26109)
* Fixed associated type family and data family instance changes not triggering
recompilation (#26183, #26705)
* Fixed negative type literals causing the compiler to hang (#26861)
* Improvements to determinism of compiler output (#26846, #26858)
* Fixes for eventlog shutdown deadlocks (#26573)
and lost wakeups in the RTS (#26324)
* Fixed split sections support on Windows (#26696, #26494) and the LLVM backend (#26770)
* Fixes for the bytecode compiler, PPC native code generator, and Wasm backend
* The runtime linker now supports COMMON symbols (#6107)
* Improved backtrace support: backtraces for `error` exceptions are now
evaluated at throw time
* `NamedDefaults` now correctly requires the class to be standard or have an
in-scope default declaration, and handles poly-kinded classes (#25775, #25778, #25882)
* ... and many more
A full accounting of these fixes can be found in the [release notes][]. As
always, GHC's release status, including planned future releases, can be found on
the GHC Wiki [status][].

anything amiss.
