Re: [ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.4.4 released

Hey David, i'm looking at the git history andit doesn't seem to have any
commits between 8.4.3 and 8.4.4 related to the dataToTag issue
does any haskell code in the while trigger the bug on 8.4 series?

Did this release fix the dataToTag# issue? I think that has a number of people concerned. On Oct 18, 2018, at 11:46 AM, Ben Gamari

Thank you
As always, the full release notes can be found in the users guide,
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.4/docs/html/users_guide/8.4.4-notes.h...
I think this base text is out of date, and could be dropped, right?
Indeed it is.
I see that stm was also bumped: though it is not listed in
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.4/docs/html/users_guide/8.4.4-notes.h...
Also true. However, in my mind this isn't nearly as significant as the `text` bump, which affects many users and fixes extremely bad misbehavior.
Thanks for noticing these!
Cheers

I don't think anyone knows. It seems clear that it's considerably easier to trigger the bug in 8.6, but as far as I can tell, there's no reason to believe that it couldn't be triggered by realistic code in 8.4.
