of KDE 3.5.10 for FreeBSD. The official KDE 3.5.10 release
notes can be found at:
http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.5.10.php
While not a very exciting release in terms of features,
3.5.10 brings a couple of nice bugfixes and translation
updates to those who choose to stay with KDE 3.5. The
fixes are thinly spread across KPDF with a number of crash
fixes, KGPG and probably most interesting various fixes
in kicker, KDE3's panel:
* Improved visibility on transparent backgrounds
* Themed arrow buttons in applets that were missing them
* Layout and antialiasing fixes in various applets
Approved by: portmgr (erwin/pav)
of KDE 3.5.9 for FreeBSD. The official KDE 3.5.9 release
notes can be found at:
http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.5.9.php
After the KDE 4.1.0 import the team found time to make
KDE 3.5.9 ready for the Ports tree.
KDE 3.5.9 was released six months ago and 3.5.10 is coming
soon. We are not sure we have time to get 3.5.10 for FreeBSD
7.1/6.4 release, but we would have minimum 3.5.9 for those
people who prefer to stay with KDE3.
Of course Thanks to all Testers.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

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:

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.

the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port. Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version. To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.
For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).
