This release is primarily a bugfix release addressing many issues
found in the 9.8 series. These include:

* A fix for a bug where certain warnings flags were not recognised (#24071)
* Fixes for bugs in the renamer and typechecker (#24084, #24134, #24279, #2=
4083)
* Fixes for bugs in the simplifier and code generator (#24160, #24242, #236=
28, #23659, #24160, #23862, #24295, #24370)
* Fixes for some memory leaks in GHCi (#24107, #24118)
* Improvements to error messages (#21097, #16996, #11050, #24196, #24275, #=
23768, #23784, #23778)
* A fix for a recompilation checking bug where GHC may miss changes in
   transitive dependencies when deciding to relink a program (#23724).
* And many more fixes

A full accounting of changes can be found in the [release notes]. As
some of the fixed issues do affect correctness users are encouraged to
upgrade promptly.

We would like to thank Microsoft Azure, GitHub, IOG, the Zw3rk stake pool,
Well-Typed, Tweag I/O, Serokell, Equinix, SimSpace, Haskell Foundation, and
other anonymous contributors whose on-going financial and in-kind support h=
as
facilitated GHC maintenance and release management over the years. Finally,
this release would not have been possible without the hundreds of open-sour=
ce
contributors whose work comprise this release.

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

Enjoy!
