Is this bug fixed?

Below is the reddit post body

I have tried Emacs (doom-emacs) and VSCode, both suffer from 2 different Issues. I do a hover on symbol String, and it gives the documentation for it in a popup. When I click on Source or Documentation, there are different things

In Emacs the link is file:///Users/krishnashagarwal/.ghcup/ghc/9.12.2/share/doc/ghc-9.12.2/html/libraries/ghc-internal-9.1202.0-7717/src/GHC.Internal.Base.html#t:String, which when clicked doesn’t really do anything, instead of searching online, it tries to search locally and FAILS

In Vscode, the link is https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-internal-9.1202.0-7717/docs/GHC-Internal-Base.html#t:String Which goes on internet, but goes to Page Not Found

GHC-Version: The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 9.12.2 HLS-Version haskell-language-server version: 2.11.0.0 (GHC: 9.12.2) (PATH: /Users/krishnanshagarwal/.ghcup/bin/haskell-language-server-wrapper-2.11.0.0)

The linked comment suggests you’ll need a newer GHC:

The bug fixed and due for release Milestone 9.14.2 so I guess the issue will go away then.

I think the GHC version 9.14.2 is not available on the GHCup

Glasgow Haskell Compiler — The Glasgow Haskell Compiler suggests that the latest release was 9.12.4 so that’s expected.

Further to @dnikolovv 's reply, information about GHC past releases and what is planned is available via this web page:

but I have a doubt @dnikolovv why does this comment say that it is closed by a github PR? I am a beginner and confused,
