you like to 9.4.6 instead of .7 ...

The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.4.6. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at
https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.4.6
This release is primarily a bugfix release addressing some issues found in 9.4.6. These include:
* Many bug fixes for the simplifier, preventing compiler panics, loops and incorrect code generation (#22761, #22549, #23208, #22761, #22272, #23146, #23012, #22547). * Bug fixes for the typechecker involving newtype family instances, making type equalities more robust and bugs having to do with defaulting representation polymorphic type variables (#23329, #23333, #23143, #23154, #23176). * Some bug fixes for code generation, particularly on the aarch64 backend, including adding more memory barriers for array read operations (#23541, #23749). * Some bug fixes for windows builds, ensuring the reliablility of IO manager shutdown and a bug fix for the RTS linker on windows (#23691, #22941). * A bug fix for the non-moving GC ensuring mutator allocations are properly accounted for (#23312). * A bug fix preventing some segfaults by ensuring that pinned allocations respect block size (#23400). * Many bug fixes for the bytecode interpreter, allowing a greater subset of the language to be interpreted (#22376, #22840, #22051, #21945, #23068, #22958). * ... and a few more. See the [release notes] for a full accounting.
As some of the fixed issues do affect correctness users are encouraged to upgrade promptly.
We would like to thank Microsoft Azure, GitHub, IOG, the Zw3rk stake pool, Well-Typed, Tweag I/O, Serokell, Equinix, SimSpace, Haskell Foundation, and other anonymous contributors whose on-going financial and in-kind support has facilitated GHC maintenance and release management over the years. Finally, this release would not have been possible without the hundreds of open-source contributors whose work comprise this release.
As always, do give this release a try and open a [ticket] if you see anything amiss.
Happy compiling,
- Zubin & Ben
