This Haskell package contains code for generating high quality random
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.

Compared to the mersenne-random package, this package has a more
convenient API, is faster, and supports more statistical
distributions.

  Affects: users of lang/ghc and */hs-*

  Author: pgj@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    GHC has been updated to version 7.0.4, and Haskell Platform to version
    2011.4.0.0, and other Haskell ports are also updated to their Haskell
    Platform versions or latest versions.
  
    To update all affected ports:
  
    # portmaster -r lang/ghc
    or
    # portupgrade -r lang/ghc

  Reason: 
    GHC has been updated to version 7.0.3 and other Haskell ports are also
    updated to their Haskell Platform versions or latest versions.
  
    To update all affected ports:

- Update to 0.10.0.1

Obtained from:  FreeBSD Haskell

- Update math/hs-mwc-random to 0.10.0.0

Obtained from:  FreeBSD Haskell

- Update devel/hs-vector to 0.7.1

Obtained from:  FreeBSD Haskell

Bump PORTREVISION of all ports dependent on lang/ghc as during
upgrade, lang/ghc cabal package cache gets invalidated causing all
dependent ports to be reinstalled.

- Please welcome GHC 7.0.3

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.

Introduce a new (and hopefully better) ports infrastructure for Haskell Cabal
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.

This Haskell package contains code for generating high quality random
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.
