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
Nick Barkas
Cristian KLEIN
Tony Maher
Scot Hetzel
Martin Matuska (mm)
Benoit Dejean

releases in that it focuses more on stability and functionality than on
new features. Not that it doesn't have its share of new and exciting
items. See http://www.gnome.org/start/2.18/ for all the goodies in
this release.
GNOME 2.18 for FreeBSD would not have been possible without the hard work
of the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our intrepid band of testers including
J. W. Ballantine, Pawel Worach, Yasuda Keisuke, Pascal Hofstee, miwi,
Yoshihiro Ota, Vladimir Grebenschikov, Jukka A. Ukkonen,
Phillip Neumann, Franz Klammer, and Neal Delmonico.
to unbreak gtk-doc as well as removes a ton of gross hacks to support
the old location. Also, import some CVS patches from SK to fix some
potential crashes when installing bad catalogs.
While I tested this with a full SK database rebuild, problems may still
occur. Please let me know if you encounter any issues with OMF files
after this commit.
Instead, make configure check for a file installed by docbook-sk, and
move the catalog creation to a pre-install target.

symlinks when attempting to locate a temp file. Note, this is not the
author's patch, but one of my own. I think this should fix it, but I'm
not sure if I'm missing something. The patch is based on the description
from securityfocus.com.

Also, fix it so scrollkeeper 0.2 will produce a correct XML
database. Bump PORTEPOCH.
scrollkeeper 0.3.x will be looked at further to see if there is a good way
to make it work with both GNOME 1.4 and GNOME 2.0.

With this new version, GNOME 2.0 documentation works, and scrollkeeper
updates for GNOME 1.x applications work as well. I have tested builds
of most of the GNOME 1.x applications, and none of them fail.
