The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.4.8. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available on the [release page](/download_ghc_9_4_8.html). This release is primarily a bugfix release addressing a few issues found in the 9.4 series. These include: * A fix for a recompilation checking bug where GHC may miss changes in transitive dependencies when deciding to relink a program (#23724). * A fix for a code generator bug on AArch64 platforms resulting in invalid conditional jumps (#23746). * Support for `-split-sections` on Windows. * Enabling `-split-sections` for various Linux and Windows binary distributions, enabling GHC to produce smaller binaries on these platforms. * And a few other fixes A full accounting of changes can be found in the [release notes]. 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 [ticket]: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/new [release notes]: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.4.8/docs/users_guide/9.4.8-notes.html
