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:

wait until that lib stabilizes a bit more, according to the mailing list
msgs that I am seeing. I do not want to require and link in a lib that's
still really in the "let's get this to work on all cases" state.

Mike incorporated my last set of source patches into the trunk like he
always does so they're gone from here.
Able to remove some extra work from Makefile cause Mike did those over, too.
Have fun, kids, and remember, Do not taunt Happy Fun Grip!
2. Fixed pthread/libc_r handling to be done the right way.
3. Do not look for statvfs.h until that gets straightened out.
4. Put in some "destined for author's tree" fixes related to FreeBSD
and polling.
5. Put the generic scsi device string in the config file (hopefully will
go into main tree).
