- [Download](http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download.html). At any moment, GHC has a **STABLE branch** and the **HEAD**, both of which you can download from this page.

|
- The STABLE branch is the current released version. It has an even version number (e.g. 6.4, 6.6), with an extra suffix for patch-level release (e.g. 6.4.2). Patch-level releses fix bugs; they do not change any APIs.

|
- The HEAD is simply the latest, greatest version that we are working on; it may be broken on any given day, although you are encouraged not to break it gratuitiously. The HEAD has an odd version numbers (e.g 6.5, 6.7). Every night we build the HEAD, and dump the result on the download site under "Development snapshots", with a version number that encodes the date (e..g 6.5.20060831).
