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:

PRs fixed in this release:

- GDC gets a fail of link with GCC42(on 8-current/7-PR1)
because libstdc++ is not in the default link target
where libphobos of GDC needs it.
To fix that issue, I have added a patch that make libstdc++
a link tareget of GDC.
Sometimes 6-stable says that it is a overplus link but it is
no problem.

interactive programs. It is briefly described by its man page,
expect(1).
It uses pseudo-tty's to control the child processes, so it is not
affected by programs that refuse to read from stdin or pipes. (eg:
passwd(1) etc).
This is a development version from CVS code at SourceForge.
WWW: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/expect
It works with FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Solaris/Linux on 80x86, FreeBSD/Linux on AMD64,
Solaris on SPARC, AIX on PowerPC, and IRIX on MIPS hardware.
The x86 and AMD64 backends support two assemblers; nasm/yasm and gas.
Several patches were needed due to the removal of
include/c-client/linkage.c in favour of include/c-client/linkage.h.
