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. | |Updates to the FreeBSD GNOME web site to document and announce these |new changes are forthcoming. In the meantime, screenshots of GNOME |2.20 on FreeBSD can be found at |http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/screenshots.html . | |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 |their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on |pointyhat (respectively). | |The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and |contributors: | |Yasuda Keisuke |Frank Jahnke |Pawel Worach |Brian Gruber |Franz Klammer |Yuri Pankov |Nick Barkas |Cristian KLEIN |Tony Maher |Scot Hetzel |Martin Matuska (mm) |Benoit Dejean |Martin Wilke (miwi) |(And anyone else I may have missed) | |Joe | Upgrade is finished without problems.
