.. _release-8-6-1:
Release notes for version 8.6.1
===============================
The significant changes to the various parts of the compiler are listed in the
following sections. There have also been numerous bug fixes and performance
improvements over the 8.4.1 release.
Highlights
----------
The highlights, since the 8.4.1 release, are:
- Many, many bug fixes.

Compiler

Runtime system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The GHC runtime linker now prefers user shared libraries above system ones.
When extra search directories are specified these are searched before anything
else. This fixes ``iuuc`` on Windows given the proper search directories (e.g
``-L/mingw64/lib``).
- The GHC runtime linker now uses ``LIBRARY_PATH`` and the runtime loader now also
searches ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``.
