Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler has been updated to version
7.6.3 and Haskell Platform to 2013.2.0.0. Hence it is recommended to
rebuild or reinstall all the dependent ports by one of the following
commands:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
or
# pkg install -fR lang/ghc
Note that prefixes used for hs- ports (Cabal packages) have been
changed to PREFIX/{lib,share,share/doc}/cabal/ghc-GHC_VERSION to
enable more seamless upgrades in the future.

Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
Due to some unexpected dynamic linking problems, Haskell Cabal ports with
binaries that link to their own libraries may not work. With default
configuration, the following ports are known to have this problem:
Agda, BNFC, pandoc, and uuagc. (Their port revision are now bumped.)
In general, it is recommended to rebuild the port if you are
experiencing that the corresponding binary will not start, e.g.:
% agda
Shared object "libHSAgda-2.3.2-ghc7.4.2.so" not found, required by "agda"

Author: haskell@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
Note that the recent devel/libffi update caused some breakage in the Haskell
ports with the DYNAMIC option enabled. The problem has been identified and
fixed since then. All Haskell ports have been updated to their latest stable
versions or bumped as DYNAMIC is enabled by default.
Hence it is recommended to rebuild or reinstall all ports depending on GHC
by one of the following commands:
# portmaster -w -r ghc
or
# portupgrade -fr lang/ghc
or
# pkg install -fR lang/ghc
