:extension:`TypeData`. This extension permits ``type data`` declarations
as a more fine-grained alternative to :extension:`DataKinds`.
+- GHC now does a better job of solving constraints in the presence of multiple
+ matching quantified constraints. For example, if we want to solve
+ ``C a b Int`` and we have matching quantified constraints: ::
+
+ forall x y z. (Ord x, Enum y, Num z) => C x y z
+ forall u v. (Enum v, Eq u) => C u v Int
+
+ Then GHC will use the second quantified constraint to solve ``C a b Int``,
+ as it has a strictly weaker precondition.
