<p>We are proud to announce &os; Haskell Team has updated the
Haskell Platform to 2013.2.0.0, GHC to 7.6.3, as well as updated
existing ports to their latest stable versions. In this update,
we provided experimental support for LLVM-based code generation
(disabled by default) to Haskell ports. We also added number of
new ports, which brings their count in &os; Ports Collection to
402, and now Haskell ports play nicer with
<tt>portmaster(8)</tt>-based upgrades.</p>
<p>In cooperation with Konstantin Belousov and Dimitry Andric, we
have managed to unbreak build of GHC on 32-bit 10.x systems, so
we have packages for 10.x again. However, it turned out that
this bug (in thread signal delivery) can also affect the
building process for other platforms as well, which explains
some of the strange build breakages our users experienced in the
past.</p>
<p>We have also learned that there is an <a
href="http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2013-June/001506.html">ongoing work</a>
in GHC upstream which will allow us to provide support for
building with Clang natively once GHC&nbsp;7.8 becomes part of
the Haskell Platform.</p>
