- ===============================================
- The Glasgow Haskell Compiler -- version 8.2.2
- ===============================================
-
-The GHC Team is pleased to announce a new minor release of GHC. This release
-builds on the performance and stability improvements of 8.2.1, fixing a variety
-of correctness bugs, improving error messages, and making the compiler more
-portable.
-
-Notable bug-fixes include
-
- * A correctness issue resulting in segmentation faults in some
- FFI-users (#13707, #14346)
-
- * A correctness issue resulting in undefined behavior in some programs
- using STM (#14171)
-
- * A bug which may have manifested in segmentation faults in
- out-of-memory condition (#14329)
-
- * clearBit of Natural no longer bottoms (#13203)
-
- * A specialisation bug resulting in exponential blowup of compilation
- time in some specialisation-intensive programs (#14379)
-
- * ghc-pkg now works even in environments with misconfigured NFS mounts
- (#13945)
-
- * GHC again supports production of position-independent executables
- (#13702)
-
- * Better error messages around kind mismatches (#11198, #12373, #13530,
- #13610)
-
-A thorough list of the changes in the release can be found in the release
-notes,

-How to get it
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This release can be downloaded from
-
- https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_8_2_2.html
-
-For older versions see

- https://www.haskell.org/ghc/
-
-We supply binary builds in the native package format for many platforms, and the
-source distribution is available from the same place.
-
-
-Background
-~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Haskell is a standardized lazy functional programming language.
-
-GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an
-optimising compiler generating efficient code for a variety of platforms,
-together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The
-distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of
-libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency,
-exceptions, and foreign language interfaces. GHC is distributed under a
-BSD-style open source license.
-
-A wide variety of Haskell related resources (tutorials, libraries,
-specifications, documentation, compilers, interpreters, references, contact
-information, links to research groups) are available from the Haskell home page
-(see below).

-
-The list of platforms we support, and the people responsible for them, is here:
-
- https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/team-ghc
-
-Ports to other platforms are possible with varying degrees of difficulty. The
-Building Guide describes how to go about porting to a new platform:

-Developers
-~~~~~~~~~~
-
-We welcome new contributors. Instructions on accessing our source code
-repository, and getting started with hacking on GHC, are available from the
-GHC's developer's site:
