[Agda] [ANNOUNCE] Agda 2.6.4 release candidate 2

[Andreas Abel]

Dear all,

The Agda Team is very pleased to announce the second release candidate
of Agda 2.6.4.

A big thank-you to everyone who gave us feedback on the first release 
candidate!  Changes in RC2 over RC1 are summarized at:

   https://github.com/agda/agda/pull/6849


# Highlights of Agda 2.6.4

* Cubical Agda now displays boundary conditions in interactive mode
    (PR [#6529](https://github.com/agda/agda/pull/6529)).

* An inconsistency in the treatment of large indices has been fixed
    (Issue [#6654](https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/6654)).

* Unfolding of definitions can now be fine-controlled via `opaque` 
definitions.

* Additions to the sort system: `LevelUniv` and `Propω`.

* New flag `--erasure` with several improvements to erasure (declared 
run-time irrelevance).

* New reflection primitives for meta-programming.

# GHC supported versions

Agda 2.6.3 RC2 has been tested with GHC 9.6.2, 9.4.6, 9.2.8, 9.0.2,
