We (finally) released **GHC 6.6** in October 2006. To get GHC 6.6, go to [Download page](http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_66.html). There was an extended period of release-candidate testing, so we fondly hope that this will be a relatively stable release. There are many improvements, all listed in the [ Release notes](http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.6/html/users_guide/release-6-6.html). The most important new features include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Now GHC can execute several Haskell threads simultaneously on different cpus/cores
|
|
|
- ByteString type for fast and memory-efficent string manipulations
|
|
|
- `ByteString` type for fast and memory-efficent string manipulations
|
|
|

|
|
|
