GHC 9.2.8 is now available

The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.2.8. Binary
distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at
downloads.haskell.org.

This release is primarily a bugfix release addressing one issue
found in 9.2.7:

  • Fix a bug with RTS linker failing with ‘internal error: m32_allocator_init:
    Failed to map’ on newer Linux kernels (#19421).

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.

Happy compiling,

  • Zubin

A minor observation: the (correct) link at Download — The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is labelled 9.2.7 rather than 9.2.8.

I have updated Stack’s default setup-info dictionary for these binary distributions, and added GHC 9.2.8’s global hints to global-hints.yaml.
