The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.8.3. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available on the [release] page.
This release is primarily a bugfix release the 9.8 series. These include: * Significantly improve performance of code loading via dynamic linking (#23415) * Fix a variety of miscompilations involving sub-word-size FFI arguments (#25018, #24314) * Fix a rare miscompilation by the x86 native code generator (#24507) * Improve runtime performance of some applications of `runRW#` (#25055) * Reduce fragmentation when using the non-moving garbage collector (#23340) * Fix source links in Haddock's hyperlinked sources output (#24086) 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.
