Yes, in general I think the doc needs a section: Incompatible changes. The hope is that you can take the release and just work as usual but when (for good reasons as in this release) it is not true is is important to have such a section. Another case that needs to be there is how to compile so you can load compile object files into ghci as what you did in 7.6.3 won't work in this release.

Indeed. The problem is that many folks might have cabal config files that explicitly disable shared.  (For the compile times!).  They might need clear information about wiping that field.

Is --enable-shared off by default?

It's supposed to be on by default in 7.8. That said, not sure how many people have played with ~/.cabal/config....
