The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the availability
of the second release candidate for GHC 9.10.3. Binary distributions, source
distributions, and documentation are available at [downloads.haskell.org][] and
via [GHCup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/).

GHC 9.10.3 is a bug-fix release fixing over 50 issues of a variety of
severities and scopes. A full accounting of these fixes can be found in the
[release notes][]. As always, GHC's release status, including planned future
releases, can be found on the GHC Wiki [status][].

The changes from the first release candidate are:

- Bumping the text submodule to 2.1.3
- Reverting a bug fix (!14291) that restricted previously allowed namespace specifiers (#26250)
- Reverting the bump of the deepseq submodule to 1.5.2.0 (#26251)

This release candidate will have a two-week testing period. If all goes well
the final release will be available the week of 19 August 2025.

We would like to thank Well-Typed, Tweag I/O, Juspay, QBayLogic, Channable,
Serokell, SimSpace, the Haskell Foundation, and other anonymous contributors
whose on-going financial and in-kind support has facilitated GHC maintenance
and release management over the years. Finally, this release would not have
been possible without the hundreds of open-source contributors whose work
comprise this release.

As always, do give this release a try and open a [ticket][] if you see
anything amiss.
