[Agda] [ANNOUNCE] Agda 2.6.4.2 release candidate 2

[Andreas Abel]

Dear all,

The Agda Team is pleased to announce a second release candidate for Agda 
2.6.4.2.

Changes over Agda 2.6.4.2 RC 1 are three more fixes:

- [Issue #7104](https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/7104):
   Warning "there are two interface files" should not be serialized

- [Issue #7105](https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/7105):
   Internal error in generate-helper (C-c C-h)

- [Issue #7113](https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/7113):
   Instance resolution runs too late, leads to `with`-abstraction failure

# GHC supported versions

Agda 2.6.4.2 RC 2 has been tested with GHC 9.8.1, GHC 9.6.4, 9.4.8, 
9.2.8, 9.0.2, 8.10.7, 8.8.4 and 8.6.5 on Linux, macOS and Windows.

# Installation

Agda 2.6.4.2 RC 2 can be installed using cabal-install or stack:

1. Getting the release candidate

       $ cabal get 
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Agda-2.6.4.2/candidate/Agda-2.6.4.2.tar.gz
       $ cd Agda-2.6.4.2

2. a. Using cabal-install

       $ cabal install -f +optimise-heavily -f +enable-cluster-counting

2. b. Using stack

       $ stack --stack-yaml stack-a.b.c.yaml install --flag 
Agda:optimise-heavily --flag Agda:enable-cluster-counting

replacing `a.b.c` with your version of GHC.

The flags mean:

   - optimise-heavily:
     Turn on extra optimisation for a faster Agda.
     Takes large resources during compilation of Agda.

   - enable-cluster-counting:
     Enable unicode clusters for alignment in the LaTeX backend.
     Requires the ICU lib to be installed and known to pkg-config.

These flags can be dropped from the install if causing trouble.

# Standard library

You can use standard library v1.7.3, v2.0 or the `master` branch of the
standard library with Agda 2.6.4.2.  This branch is available at

   https://github.com/agda/agda-stdlib/
