.. _release-9.6.5:
Version 9.6.5
==============
The significant changes to the various parts of the compiler are listed below.
See the `migration guide
<https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/migration/9.6>`_ on the GHC Wiki
for specific guidance on migrating programs to this release.
The :ghc-flag:`LLVM backend <-fllvm>` of this release is to be used with LLVM
11, 12, 13, 14 or 15.
Significant Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Issues fixed in this release include:
Compiler
--------
- Disable ``-fasm-shortcutting`` with ``-O2`` as it leads to unsound optimisations
(:ghc-ticket:`24462).
- Fix a typechecker bug resulting in ``TYPE`` and ``CONSTRAINT`` being apart
(:ghc-ticket:`24279`).
- Fix a bug resulting in incorrect runtime results due to a botched simplifier
pass (:ghc-ticket:`24295`).
- Assign correct source spans to nested documentation comments in the AST (:ghc-ticket:`24378`).
- Fix a bug causing suboptimal error messages for certain invalid cyclic
module graphs with hs-boot files (:ghc-ticket:`24196`, :ghc-ticket:`24275`).
- Fix a bug resulting in infix ``(~)`` and ``(@)`` operators not being usable in
TH quotes (:ghc-ticket:`23748`).
- Fix a bug arising from incorrect parsing of paths containing spaces in the
settings file (:ghc-ticket:`24265`).
- Allow special pragmas to desugar correctly in a few more cases (:ghc-ticket:`24370`).
Runtime system
--------------
- Fix an off-by-one while writing eventlogs (:ghc-ticket:`24287`).
- Avoid segfaults with using ``-Dn`` with the non-moving collector (:ghc-ticket:`24393`).
Build system and packaging
--------------------------
- Fix a bug resulting in the distributed ``hsc2hs`` wrapper using flags from the
compiler build environment (:ghc-ticket:`24050`).
- Better compatibility for newer alex versions in the configure script (:ghc-ticket:`24302`).
- Handle autotools adding the ``-std`` flag to the ``CC``/``CXX`` variables (:ghc-ticket:`24324`).
- Fix a typo in the configure script resulting in the target for the linker being set incorrectly
when configuring a cross-compiler (:ghc-ticket:`24414`).
- Do not override existing linker flags in ``FP_LD_NO_FIXUP_CHAINS``.
- Ensure the ``genapply`` program is built with the write constants when cross compiling (:ghc-ticket:`24347`).
- Ensure we take ``LDFLAGS`` into account when configuring a linker (:ghc-ticket:`24565`).
- Fix a segfault with the non-moving GC (:ghc-ticket:`24492`).
Core libraries
--------------
- Bump ``base`` to 4.18.2.1
- Bump ``filepath`` to 1.4.300.1
- Bump ``directory`` to 1.3.8.4
- Bump ``Cabal`` to 3.10.3.0
- Bump ``process`` to 1.6.19.0
- Bump ``libffi-tarballs`` to 3.4.6
