The GHC team is very pleased to announce the availability of GHC 9.0.1. Source and binary distributions are available at the usual place: https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.0.1/ In addition to numerous bug fixes, GHC 9.0.1 will bring a number of new features: * A first cut of the new LinearTypes language extension [2], allowing use of linear function syntax and linear record fields. * A new bignum library, ghc-bignum, improving portability and allowing GHC to be more easily used with integer libraries other than GMP. * Improvements in code generation, resulting in considerable runtime performance improvements in some programs. * Improvements in pattern-match checking, allowing more precise detection of redundant cases and reduced compilation time. * Implementation of the "simplified subsumption" proposal [3] simplifying the type system and paving the way for QuickLook impredicativity in GHC 9.2. * Implementation of the QualifiedDo extension [4], allowing more convenient overloading of `do` syntax. * An experimental new IO manager implementation for Windows platforms, both improving performance and fixing many of the quirks with the old manager built on POSIX-emulation. * Improvements in compilation time. And many more. See the release notes [5] for a full accounting of the changes in this release. As always, feel free to report any issues you encounter via gitlab.haskell.org.
