GHC 9.2.7 is now available

Zubin Duggal - 2023-02-27

The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.2.7. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at downloads.haskell.org.

This release is primarily a bugfix release addressing a few issues found in 9.2.6. These include:

A fix for a bug with the RTS linker being unable to resolve the setKeepCafs symbol which started being used by the GHC library in 9.2.6, resulting in code depending on this symbol failing to load in GHCi or via a compile time splice when using a statically linked GHC, such as on Windows (#22961).

A fix a bug with the alignment of RTS data structures that could result in segfaults when compiled with high optimisation settings on certain platforms (http://haskell.org/ghc/blog/20230227-ghc-9.2.7-released.html
