The GHC developers are very happy to at long last announce the availability of GHC 9.0.2. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at downloads.haskell.org.

GHC 9.0.2 adds first class AArch64/Darwin support using the LLVM backend, as well as fixing a number of critical correctness bugs with the 9.0.1 release, along with numerous improvements to compiler performance and memory usage:

A complete list of bug fixes and improvements can be found in the release notes.

Finally, thank you to Microsoft Research, GitHub, IOHK, the Zw3rk stake pool, Tweag I/O, Serokell, Equinix, SimSpace, and other anonymous contributors whose on-going financial and in-kind support has facilitated GHC maintenance and release management over the years. Moreover, this release would not have been possible without the hundreds of open-source contributors whose work comprise this release.

As always, do open a ticket if you see anything amiss.
