Hello everyone,

The GHC team is proud to announce the release of GHC 8.8.4. The source
distribution, binary distributions, and documentation are available at

    https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.8.4

Release notes are also available [1].

This release fixes a handful of issues affecting 8.8.3:

 - Fixes a bug in process creation on Windows (#17926). Due to this fix
   we strongly encourage all Windows users to upgrade immediately.
 
 - Works around a Linux kernel bug in the implementation of timerfd
   (#18033)
 
 - Fixes a few linking issues affecting ARM
 
 - Fixes "missing interface file" error triggered by some uses of
   Data.Ord.Ordering (#18185)
 
 - Fixes an integer overflow in the compact-normal-form import
   implementation (#16992)
 
 - `configure` now accepts a `--enable-numa` flag to enable/disable
   `numactl` support on Linux.
 
 - Fixes potentially lost sharing due to the desugaring of left operator
   sections (#18151).
 
 - Fixes a build-system bug resulting in potential miscompilation by
   unregisteised compilers (#18024)
 
As always, if anything looks amiss do let us know.

Happy compiling!

Cheers,

- Ben
