[ANNOUNCE] GHC 8.4.2-rc1 now available

Hello everyone, The GHC team is proud to announce the first release candidate of 8.4.2. the source distribution, binary distributions, and documentation are available at https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.2-rc1 This release follows so closely to 8.4.1 due to a number last-minute bug-fixes that didn't quite make it into 8.4.1. This includes fixes for: * #14705, the interpreter being broken on some systems * #14779, where the compiler produces invalid code when used with -g * #14891, where a selection of GHC testsuite cases fail on OS X * #5129, where the simplifier would incorrectly reorder evaluation in under some conditions. Since this is a relatively small bugfix release we are bypassing the alpha releases and moving right to the release candidate stage. If all goes well the final release will be cut next week. Happy testing Cheers, - Ben -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
