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

Beast is a powerful music composition and modular synthesis
application. It supports a wide range of standards in the
field, such as MIDI, WAV/AIFF/MP3/OggVorbis/etc audio files and
LADSPA modules. It has excellent technical abilities like
multitrack editing, unlimited undo/redo support, real-time
synthesis support, 32bit audio rendering, full duplex support,
multiprocessor support, precise timing down to sample
granularity, on demand loading of partial wave files, on the
fly decoding and full scriptability in scheme. The plugins,
synthesis core and the user interface are actively being
developed and translated into a variety of languages, regularly
assimilating user feedback such as from our FeatureRequests
page.
