SciGraphica is a scientific application for data analysis and technical
graphics. It pretends to be a clone of the popular commercial (and expensive)
application "Microcal Origin". Although it is in a very early development
stage, it fully supplies plotting features for 2D charts. The aim is to obtain
a fully-featured, cross-plattform, user-friendly, self-growing scientific
application. It is free and open-source, released under the GPL license.
Main features:
--------------
o You can open several worksheets and plots and work with them at the same
time.
o The plots are fully configurable using a control panel dialog.
o The look and feel is completely WYSIWYG.
o Publication quality PostScript output.
o You can interact with the plots double-clicking, dragging and moving objects
with the mouse.
o Import/Export features in XML format.
o You can insert Python expressions in the worksheets.

The x11/libcapplet has been broken for over a year (will be two in June 2011)
and no one has any of interest to fix it. It's an ancient software and
is part of GNOME 1. It's time for us to get rid of some of GNOME 1 stuff as
the GNOME 3 is coming sometimes in 2011. Any ports that required libcappet
are removed and ports that have optional aren't remove.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

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
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Let be hohest: I really don't have a time now to properly maintain all
these great pieces of software, so that let others with more free time
to take over them.
