[ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.8.4 is now available

Hello everyone, The GHC team is proud to announce the release of GHC 8.8.4. The source distribution, binary distributions, and documentation are available at https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.8.4 Release notes are also available [1]. This release fixes a handful of issues affecting 8.8.3: - Fixes a bug in process creation on Windows (#17926). Due to this fix we strongly encourage all Windows users to upgrade immediately. - Works around a Linux kernel bug in the implementation of timerfd (#18033) - Fixes a few linking issues affecting ARM - Fixes "missing interface file" error triggered by some uses of Data.Ord.Ordering (#18185) - Fixes an integer overflow in the compact-normal-form import implementation (#16992) - `configure` now accepts a `--enable-numa` flag to enable/disable `numactl` support on Linux. - Fixes potentially lost sharing due to the desugaring of left operator sections (#18151). - Fixes a build-system bug resulting in potential miscompilation by unregisteised compilers (#18024) As always, if anything looks amiss do let us know. Happy compiling! Cheers, - Ben [1] https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/8.8.4/docs/html/users_guide/8.8.4-notes.ht...

Thanks to the GHC team for your great work. I added a Docker image neosimsim/ghc:8.8.4 to my Docker hub with GHC 8.8.4 installed build with musl and integer-simple to support static linking. The Docker image can be used in build pipelines, e.g. with GitLab. https://hub.docker.com/r/neosimsim/ghc I hope it comes in handy. Cheers, Alex
