MATE is a fork of the + GNOME 2 desktop. CINNAMON is a desktop environment using + GNOME 3 technologies but with a GNOME 2 look and feel.</p> + + <p>After a period of not much activity, this quarter we + started a little experiment in how we merge ports from the + development repo to the &os; Ports Collection. Instead of + merging everything in one big commit, we have been updating + the GNOME ports one at a time or in small groups. For + example, the GTK+ stack and the Evolution Suite were updated + as groups, and all the gnome-games were done in one commit. + It might be a bit more work preparing and testing the + updates, but on the plus side, it easy to keep track of what + is going on, and allows us to pay attention to the details. + And it should be easier to commit smaller changes.</p> + + <p>This quarter started with the update of GTK+ 3 to 3.22.15, + and the underlying libraries to their latest stable + versions. After the GTK+ update, work started on getting + newer versions of other GNOME applications updated.</p> + + <p>The <tt>webkit2-gtk3</tt> port was first updated to the + 2.14 series and later to 2.16.3, which is the latest stable + version.
