Release notes for version 8.6.1
===============================
The significant changes to the various parts of the compiler are listed in the
following sections. There have also been numerous bug fixes and performance
improvements over the 8.4.1 release.
Highlights
----------
The highlights, since the 8.4.1 release, are:
- Many, many bug fixes.
Full details
------------
Language
~~~~~~~~
Compiler
~~~~~~~~
Runtime system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The GHC runtime linker now prefers user shared libraries above system ones.
When extra search directories are specified these are searched before anything
else. This fixes ``iuuc`` on Windows given the proper search directories (e.g
``-L/mingw64/lib``).
- The GHC runtime linker now uses ``LIBRARY_PATH`` and the runtime loader now also
searches ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``.
Template Haskell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``ghc`` library
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``base`` library
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``($!)`` is now representation-polymorphic like ``($)``.
Build system
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Included libraries
------------------
The package database provided with this distribution also contains a number of
packages other than GHC itself. See the changelogs provided with these packages
for further change information.
