The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.2.7. Binary  
distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at  
[downloads.haskell.org](https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/9.2.7).

Download Page: [GHC 9.2.7 download — The Glasgow Haskell Compiler](https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_9_2_7.html)  
Blog Post: [GHC 9.2.7 is now available — The Glasgow Haskell Compiler](https://www.haskell.org/ghc/blog/20230227-ghc-9.2.7-released.html)

This release is primarily a bugfix release addressing a few issues  
found in 9.2.6. These include:

- A fix for a bug with the RTS linker being unable to resolve the `setKeepCafs`  
symbol which started being used by the GHC library in 9.2.6, resulting in  
code depending on this symbol failing to load in GHCi or via a compile time  
splice when using a statically linked GHC, such as on Windows (#22961).
- A fix a bug with the alignment of RTS data structures that could result in  
segfaults when compiled with high optimisation settings on certain platforms  
(#22975 , #22965).
- A fix for a bug in the simplifier related to placeholder values (rubbish  
literals) emitted by the worker/wrapper optimisation leading to -dcore-lint  
errors and compiler panics in certain cases (#19882, #22914, #23000).
- Easier installation of binary distribution on MacOS platforms by changing the  
installation Makefile to remove the quarantine attribute when installing.
- … and a few more. See the [release notes](https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.2.7/docs/html/users_guide/9.2.7-notes.html) for a full accounting.

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](https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/new) if you see  
anything amiss.

Happy compiling,

- Zubin
