--=-HuyF1YQeKqrwdXmBACdw Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The FreeBSD GNOME Team is delighted to announce the release of the GNOME 2.6 Desktop and Developer suites for FreeBSD. Accompanying this release are the usual meta-port bumps for the GNOME Fifth Toe, Power Tools, Hacker Tools, and Office. For the highlights of what's new in GNOME 2.6, please checkout our upgrade FAQ at: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html This page will give GNOME users a script which they can use to assist with the upgrade. IF YOU ARE A GNOME DESKTOP USER, YOU MUST USE THIS SCRIPT TO UPGRADE. If you'd rather install from packages, go to http://www.marcuscom.com/tinderbox/ where you will find i386 packages for all supported FreeBSD versions. In addition to the GNOME-wide improvements in GNOME 2.6, there have been some FreeBSD-specific additions as well. First, certain types of media (e.g. CD-ROMs, floppies, etc.) are now mountable dynamically for Nautilus. This release also consolidates the KDE menus (if KDE is installed) so there isn't as much clutter under the Applications menu.=20 Finally, we have a spiffy new splash screen created by Franz Klammer. As always, GNOME on FreeBSD would not be possible without the effort of this team (http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/contact.html), its alumni, and our users. We would especially like to thank the following users that helped by testing GNOME 2.5, and providing patches: Jeremy Messenger <mezz7@cox.net> Khairil Yusof <kaeru@pd.jaring.my> Koop Mast <kwm@rainbow-runner.nl> Simon Barner <barner@in.tum.de> Tom McLaughlin <tmclaugh@sdf.lonestar.org> Scott Dodson <sdodson@sdodson.com> Vladimir Grebenschikov <vova@sw.ru> Marcus on behalf of the FreeBSD GNOME Team --=20 Joe Marcus Clarke FreeBSD GNOME Team :: gnome@FreeBSD.org FreeNode / #freebsd-gnome http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome --=-HuyF1YQeKqrwdXmBACdw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAcNitb2iPiv4Uz4cRAnsJAJwOoQI23+Gf7/FfNT9CEjgCk+R3rwCfa4wP AMytG0QhsGQsgnnAzM3MVz4= =Xpr0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-HuyF1YQeKqrwdXmBACdw--
