for FreeBSD. The official KDE 4.1.1 release notes can be found at
http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_1to4_1_1.php.
KDE Community ships sirst translation and service release of the 4.1
dree desktop, containing numerous bugfixes, Performance Improvements
and Translation Updates.
Pretty much all applications have received the developers' attention,
resulting in a long list of bugfixes and improvements. The most significant
changes are:
* Significant performance, interaction and rendering correctness
improvements in KHTML and Konqueror, KDE's web browser
* User interaction, rendering and stability fixes in Plasma,
the KDE4 desktop shell
* PDF backend fixes in the document viewer Okular
* Fixes in Gwenview, the image viewer's thumbnailing, more
robust retrieval and display of images with broken metadata
* Stability and interaction fixes in KMail
New Ports:
- graphics/kcoloredit
* KColorEdit is a palette files editor. It can be used
for editing color palettes and for color choosing and
naming.
- graphics/kgraphviewer
* KGraphViewer is a GraphViz DOT graph viewer for KDE. The
GraphViz programs are free-software layout engines for graphs.
KGraphViewer displays the graphs in a modern, user-friendly GUI
with all the power of a well integrated KDE application.
- graphics/kiconedit
* KIconEdit is designed to help create icons for KDE using the standard
icon palette.
- graphics/skanlite
* Skanlite is a simple image scanning application that does nothing
more than scan and save images. Skanlite can open a save dialog for
every image scanned or save the images immediately in a specified
directory with auto-generated names and format. The user can also
choose to show the scanned image before saving.
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

Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
- Remove CONFIGURE_TARGET hack in various bsd.*.mk
- USE_GNOME=gnometarget is now an no-op
Changes to individual ports, other than removing the CONFIGURE_TARGET hack:
= pkg-plist changed (due to the ugly CONFIGURE_TARGET prefix in * executables)
- comms/gnuradio
- science/abinit
- science/elmer-fem
- science/elmer-matc
- science/elmer-meshgen2d
- science/elmerfront
- science/elmerpost
= use x86_64 as ARCH
- devel/g-wrap
= other changes
- print/magicfilter
GNU_CONFIGURE -> HAS_CONFIGURE since it's not generated by autoconf

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.
for FreeBSD. The official KDE 4.1.0 release notes can be found at
http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/.
Some note:
* Prefix
KDE4 will be install into a custom prefixes namely ${LOCALBASE}/kde4.
KDE4 and KDE3 can co-exist
* Sound
For sound to work, it is necessary to have dbus and hal enabled
in your system. Please see the respective documentation on how
to enable these.
For more Informations see the HEADS UP at ports@ and kde-freebsd@
or our wiki page http://wiki.freebsd.org/KDE4/Install.
Have fun!
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).

FreeBSD. The official GNOME 2.22 release notes can be found at
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/ . On the FreeBSD front,
this release features an updated hal port with support for video4linux
devices, DRM (Direct Rendering), and better support of removable media. Work
is also underway to tie webkit more closely into GNOME. As part of the
GNOME 2.22 upgrade, GStreamer received a rather large upgrade as well.
Be sure to consult UPDATING on the proper steps to upgrade all of your
GNOME ports.
This release would not have been possible without the contributions and
testing efforts of the following people:
Pawel Worach

edwin
Peter Ulrich Kruppa
J. W. Ballantine

- Deprecate old unsupported apps and modules (entice, devian, eveil, engage)
- Split evas and ecore to separate modules to handle dependencies properly
- Disable PAM in enlightenment-devel as it don't work anyway (requires root
privilegies)
- Add DBUS support.

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

The cursor theme based on the KDE crystal theme. This cursor
is on kde-look.org and distributed with openSUSE (which has
it as default). The port does install the "blue" theme as
default (and thus could possibly conflict with future cursor
ports, no current ports install a default theme).
