Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD.  The official
GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ .  Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).

The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy.  We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD.  This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.

This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully.  Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for

Presenting GNOME 2.18.2 for FreeBSD.  See
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/devel-announce-list/2007-May/msg00004.html for
a list of all the changes in this release.

- Welcome X.org 7.2 \o/.
- Set X11BASE to ${LOCALBASE} for recent ${OSVERSION}.
- Bump PORTREVISION for ports intalling files in ${X11BASE}.

Presenting GNOME 2.16.2 for FreeBSD.

Presenting GNOME 2.16.1 for FreeBSD.  This release represents a massive
amount of work by the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our testers.

On top of the usual GNOME update, we have taken this opportunity to move
GNOME from X11BASE to LOCALBASE.  This means roughly 600 ports NOT part of
the GNOME Desktop also need to be changed.  The bulk of the move was carried
out by ahze, mezz, and pav, but it would not have been possible without
cooperation from the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure
GNOME and KDE can still coexist happily.  We would also like to send a
shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with multiple test runs
until we got something that was solid.

Back to GNOME 2.16.  This release brings a huge amount of new functionality
to FreeBSD.  The standard release notes can be read at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/ .  But on top of what you will read there,

(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )

Rename this ports to use the real vendor package name. The advantage of this
is to allow our users' keyword search works and easier for users to file the
Bugzilla report when they use our name of ports. Debian, Gentoo, NetBSD and
other OSs have the correct package name, but not in our ports tree.

My team, FreeBSD GNOME Team, have agreed with it.

As for deskutils/superswitcher, devel/configgen and devel/gnome2-hacker-tools,
chase the rename.

Presenting GNOME 2.14.1 for FreeBSD!  Checkout
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/ for the official release notes, and a list
of all the gooides in this new release.  In particular, GNOME 2.14 focused
on performance, and they did not miss the mark.  There's some new eye candy,
but most of the big things are waiting until GNOME 2.16.  On the FreeBSD
side, we tried to clean up all the crashers we could.  In particular, we
really improved GNOME's 64-bit support.

The good news is that this release does not bring any big shared library
version bumps, so you can almost do a simple portupgrade to get to 2.14.
There are a few minor gotchas that will be documented in UPDATING shortly.

The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like th thank the following users for their
patches, feedback, and sometimes incessant complaing about crashes (you
know who you are).

Presenting GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD.  The release is chock full of bug fixes
and new features.  Don't believe me?  Then see for yourself at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/.

DO NOT USE portupgrade by itself to upgrade to GNOME 2.12.  Instead, use
the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh.  This script will
circumvent some potential pitfalls users can see if they use portupgrade
by itself.

In keeping with tradition, GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD comes with a special
splash screen.  The winner of this release's contest is
Dominique Goncalves <dominique.goncalves@gmail.com>.  His splash screen
was inspired by http://art.gnome.org/contests/2.12-splash/83.

The release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnwhatsnew.html, and will give you a
good idea of what has gone into this release overall.  However, a lot of
FreeBSD specific additions and fixes have been made.  For example, this
release offers fixed ACPI support as well as new CPU freqeuncy monitoring
support.  See the FreeBSD GNOME 2.10 upgrade page at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq210.html for the entire list as well
as a list of known issues and upgrade instructions.

GNOME 2.10, as well as all of our releases, would not be possible without
the great team that goes into porting and testign each and every component.
Thanks definitely goes out to ahze, adamw, bland, kwm, mezz, and pav for all
their work.  We would also like to thank our adventurous users that chose to

Special thanks also goes out to all of the loyal FreeBSD GNOME users that

Presenting GNOME 2.6.0.  The FreeBSD GNOME Team feels this our best release

upgrade FAQ at:

wonderful testing and patching efforts.  We would especially like to thank

not be possible.
