The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.6.5. Binary
distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available on the release page.
This release is primarily a bugfix release addressing some issues
found in the 9.6 series. These include:
Bumping the bundled process library to 1.6.19.0 to avoid a potential command injection vulnerability on Windows for clients of this library. This isnāt
known to affect GHC itself, but allows users who depend on the installed
version of the process library to avoid the issue.
Fixing a bug resulting in the distributed hsc2hs wrapper using flags from the
compiler build environment (#24050).
Disabling the -fasm-shortcutting optimisation with -O2 as it is known
to result in unsoundess and incorrect runtime results in some cases (#24507).
Ensuring we take LDFLAGS into account when configuring a linker (#24565).
Fixing a bug arising from incorrect parsing of paths containing spaces in the
settings file (#24265).
And many more fixes
A full accounting of changes can be found in the release notes. 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 if you see
anything amiss.
I suspect the content on the home page probably just predates the switch to GitLab. As far as I can see, one needs to be logged in to edit the wiki.
Git access is probably possible, though, if you switch to an https url for the underlying repo. But then youād still need an account to push changes.
I may be mistaken or missing something, but when I am logged into Home Ā· Wiki Ā· Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Ā· GitLab I canāt see anything that would allow you to edit the Wiki. I think you may need to have a certain āroleā: GitLab āproperā says you need to have āat least the Developer roleā: see Wiki | GitLab.
Ah, thatās interesting. I see āEditā and āNew pageā above āHome ā¦ This is GHCās Wikiā. I suppose I must have the developer role then, but I donāt know how to confirm that (nor how to confirm someone elseās role) and I donāt know how I was assigned that role!
