GHC in the ports tree has been updated to 7.0.3 and all other Haskell ports
are also updated to their corresponding Haskell Platform versions, or latest
versions.
We would like to acknowledge the support of the FreeBSD Donations Team and
Eotvos Lorand University, Faculty of Informatics who contributed to the server
that we used for testing.
We would also like to thank all the testers who tested FreeBSD Haskell ports
and provided their feedback.

ports which makes possible the direct translation of Cabal package
descriptions to FreeBSD ports. It promises both easier addition and
maintenance for Cabal-based ports.
numbers that follow either a uniform or normal distribution. The
generated numbers are suitable for use in statistical applications.
The uniform PRNG uses Marsaglia's MWC256 (also known as MWC8222)
multiply-with-carry generator, which has a period of 2^8222 and
fares well in tests of randomness. It is also extremely fast,
between 2 and 3 times faster than the Mersenne Twister.
