+      <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 7.8 becomes part of
+	the Haskell Platform.</p>
