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,
jylefort and marcus have completed work on a port of HAL to FreeBSD. This
will allow FreeBSD to take advantage of closer hardware interaction such
as auto-mounting CD-ROMs, USB drives, and music players; auto-playing
audio CDs; and managing laptop power consumption.
But where would this all be without our loyal testers and contributors?
Therefore, the FreeBSD GNOME team would like to thank the following users:

This should fix one of gnucash's many problems.

* Use continuation->backing_store to determine if we return for the first
time from getcontext(). This avoids having to depend on non-POSIX semantics
of the Linux implementation.
* Avoid using __libc_ia64_register_backing_store_base by hardcoding the base
of the backing store. The kernel is changed to put the backing store at
this address. It's not entirely clean, but I want to avoid adding all sorts
of variables in our libc for this for now.
* Fix a genuine bug in the ia64 case: the ia64-specific fields are not
initialized. On FreeBSD this means they have garbage (= 0xd0). Call
memset() after allocation to make sure the contregs structure is properly
cleared. Since this may affect other architectures, this patch will be
ia64 only.
