GHC releases fall into two categories:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *major* releases carry version number `N.M.1` and may include major new features and breaking changes.
|
|
|
* each major release is followed by zero or more *minor* releases. These will typically only contain bug-fixes.

Major releases are currently produced twice a year. Each major release is preceded by a series of *prereleases* which allow GHC's developers and users to test the release. This prerelease window typically lasts three months and consists of several alpha releases followed by a release candidate, (hopefully) followed by the final release.
