The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the availability
of the third release candidate for GHC 9.12.3. Binary distributions, source
distributions, and documentation are available at [downloads.haskell.org][] and
via [GHCup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/).

GHC 9.12.3 is a bug-fix release fixing several issues of a variety of
severities and scopes. A full accounting of these fixes can be found in the
[release notes][]. As always, GHC's release status, including planned future
releases, can be found on the GHC Wiki [status][].

This release candidate will have a two-week testing period. If all goes well
the final release will be available the week of 22 December 2025.

The changes from the first release candidate are

- Fix use after free on windows due to a linker optimisation introduced in an 
earlier RC (#26613)
- A fix for a bug in the configure script which result in the LLVM toolchain 
not being detected in certain situations (#26564)
- Fixes for the WASM backend
