This is the first release that was executed via the new GitHub CI. Everything went smoothly, except for an unexpected packaging bug on windows due to text-2.0 linking against libstdc++ by default.
If you’re affected by this and have a defunct binary, simply run the installer again.
We’re also delighted to announce integration with errors.haskell.org, which already has a couple of GHCup codes documented, e.g. Unable to find a download for the requested version/distro [GHCup-00010] — Haskell Error Index
How to update/install
Follow the instructions here: GHCup

- TUI on windows has a prototype, but it has performance issues that makes it of questionable usability… needs more investigation
- compiling HLS from within the TUI? This needs more discussion
