Hi, For Mac OS X users, the Darwinports build of GHC has been updated to the new version (6.2.2). It supports both Jaguar (10.2.x) and Panther (10.3.y). Apple's gcc-3.1 is required, which is not installed by default with the latest Xcode 1.5. (Use the "custom installation" option of the Xcode installer to install gcc-3.1.) This restriction will be lifted in the future. The build is from source, using a binary bootstrap compiler (6.0.1). It takes about five hours on an 800 MHz G4 PowerBook. For more information on installing and using Darwinports, see http://darwinports.opendarwin.org. Many haskell utilities (e.g., alex, darcs, happy, haddock, hs-plugins, hsshellscript) are available through Darwinports.

The GHC Team is pleased to announce the latest patchlevel release of GHC, 6.2.2. This is a bugfix release only, there are no new features. Code that worked with 6.2.1 will work unchanged with 6.2.2.
A lot of bugfixes have gone into 6.2.2; we believe it is one of the most stable releases of GHC ever. Thanks to everyone who has been involved in testing pre-releases and submitting bug reports.
This will also be the last release along the 6.2 branch, the next release (out "soon") will be 6.4 with plenty of new features.
