http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/ for the official release notes, and a list
of all the gooides in this new release. In particular, GNOME 2.14 focused
on performance, and they did not miss the mark. There's some new eye candy,
but most of the big things are waiting until GNOME 2.16. On the FreeBSD
side, we tried to clean up all the crashers we could. In particular, we
really improved GNOME's 64-bit support.
The good news is that this release does not bring any big shared library
version bumps, so you can almost do a simple portupgrade to get to 2.14.
There are a few minor gotchas that will be documented in UPDATING shortly.
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like th thank the following users for their
patches, feedback, and sometimes incessant complaing about crashes (you
know who you are).

in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:

gnome-themes. GNOME 2.8 has Smooth engine, a Glider theme, installed by
default now. Bump PORTREVISION on both of them, because gnome-themes-extras
will delete gnome-themes's Smooth engine so the bump will bring Smooth engine
back in after update gnome-themes.
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
and installation of the Gorilla GTK-1.2, GTK-2, and metacity themes.
Neat!
Note that, for the time being, gtk-industrial-theme *MUST* be built
-DWITH_GTK2.
GTK-2 themes in share/gnome/themes, and certain parts don't. But they
all look for the themes in share/themes. Except for the metacity theme
selector, which only looks in share/gnome/themes and not in share/themes.
So, install metacity themes into share/gnome/themes, and install GTK-2
themes into share/themes.
As an extra special bonus, now the Lush metacity theme doesn't work. It
appears to be referencing a whole bunch of images that aren't included in
the gnome-themes-extras distfiles. Something further to look forward to
in the next PORTVERSION.

available only as part of a Gentoo Linux-produced RPM.
The author tells me libIndustrial will be part of gnome-themes-extras
"soonish."
PORTREVISION bump.
