The GHC developers are happy to announce the availability of GHC 9.8.3. Binary
distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available on the
[release] page.

This release is primarily a bugfix release the 9.8 series. These
include:

* Significantly improve performance of code loading via dynamic linking (#23415)
* Fix a variety of miscompilations involving sub-word-size FFI arguments
  (#25018, #24314)
* Fix a rare miscompilation by the x86 native code generator (#24507)
* Improve runtime performance of some applications of `runRW#` (#25055)
* Reduce fragmentation when using the non-moving garbage collector (#23340)
* Fix source links in Haddock's hyperlinked sources output (#24086)

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 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.

Happy compiling!

- Ben
