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
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

PRs fixed in this release:

This also provoked wired crashes for -CURRENT users default libmapping
to libc_r.
- Do not link against libpthread at all. There is no code make real use
of pthread API so don't create our own dll hell.
Nvidia libGL users must be happy now. No more libc_r libmapping for
xscreensaver GL hacks required.
and xscreensaver-gnome, so that GNOME components now is fully independent
from the main xscreensaver port. Unfortunately all numerous attempts of
GNOME team to put xscreensaver's maintainer into a co-operative mode
failed, so that this commit goes in unreviewed. In addition, prevent
xscreensaver from detecting gtk/glib/libxml-2.0 when it is not asked
for, remove stale warning, use USE_GNOMENG and detect/use libintl
properly. This expected to significantly decrease number of "xscreensaver
doesn't work with GNOME" complains in freebsd-gnome mailing list.
Approved by: maintainer's timeout
