Of course, conservative users can keep 6.4.x stable version by switch to use
all-in-one editors/libreoffice6 port and even with i18n langpack (off by default).
It will be kept updated at least till 7.1.0 version will be released.
Some notes about changes in port options:
- GTK2 option is obsolete by upstream
- GTK3 option is not more set by default because of unstable yet and have visual glitches
- QT5 option is set by default to provide comfy visual style for every user
- Change VCL autotetect logic (used if enable, skipto next in row if disabled:
-- For KDE/LXQT: kf5, qt5, gtk3_kde5, gtk3, gen
-- For GNOME, Unity, XFCE, MATE: gtk3, qt5, gen
-- All other DE should follow gnome list
One small note — since upcoming Qt5-5.15 will drop binary support for FreeBSD 11.x due to
outdated OpenSSL-1.0 in base, here is no reason to enable QT5 option on FreeBSD <12 by default
Thanks for all testers and supporters!
