amount of work by the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our testers.
On top of the usual GNOME update, we have taken this opportunity to move
GNOME from X11BASE to LOCALBASE. This means roughly 600 ports NOT part of
the GNOME Desktop also need to be changed. The bulk of the move was carried
out by ahze, mezz, and pav, but it would not have been possible without
cooperation from the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure
GNOME and KDE can still coexist happily. We would also like to send a
shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with multiple test runs
until we got something that was solid.
Back to GNOME 2.16. This release brings a huge amount of new functionality
to FreeBSD. The standard release notes can be read at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/ . But on top of what you will read there,
jylefort and marcus have completed work on a port of HAL to FreeBSD. This
will allow FreeBSD to take advantage of closer hardware interaction such
as auto-mounting CD-ROMs, USB drives, and music players; auto-playing
audio CDs; and managing laptop power consumption.
But where would this all be without our loyal testers and contributors?
Therefore, the FreeBSD GNOME team would like to thank the following users:

It can also be used for general RDF manipulation.
It can read RDF/XLM and N3 files and export N3 files, it also has a light

Oggz provides a simple programming interface for reading and writing
Ogg files and streams. Ogg is an interleaving data container developed
by Monty at Xiph.Org, originally to support the Ogg Vorbis audio
format.
liboggz supports the flexibility afforded by the Ogg file format while
presenting the following API niceties:
* Strict adherence to the formatting requirements of Ogg bitstreams,
to ensure that only valid bitstreams are generated
* A simple, callback based open/read/close or open/write/close interface
to raw Ogg files
* A customisable seeking abstraction for seeking on multitrack Ogg data
* A packet queue for feeding incoming packets for writing, with
callback based notification when this queue is empty
* A means of overriding the IO functions used by Oggz, for easier
integration with media frameworks and similar systems.
* A handy table structure for storing information on each logical
bitstream

The biggest change is that the database is now MySQL instead of SQLite.
Slimserver starts it's own MySQL instance so you don't need to deal with
MySQL configuration, but both the client and server are now
dependencies. For more info see the change log at:

Most of the binary perl modules are now port dependencies. YAML-Syck is
not yet because it didn't work. I suspect a version issues (the ports
version is newer).
David Shultz kindly added me to PAUSE as a module co-maintainer.
Since this port depends on File::Temp now, drop all vestiges of support
for Perl 5.005.

UModPlayer or Universal Module Player is a audio module "tool-chain",
providing you functions to work with modules like playing, exporting,
getting information, and more.
* You can play the supported formats and seek to any order in the
song. You have pause, timer, display, and other standard features.
* You can view the pattern notes while playing.
* Playlist support: you can create playlists, delete or move
individual items in a playlist, import a playlist from the current
directory contents, save a playlist and load a saved playlist...
* You can specify any of the ModPlug options: noise reduction,
megabass, surround, reverb sound options specifying the grade and
the delay of most of the options.
* You can export the audio data of a module to any of the supported
formats
* You can read and export to a file the song builtin message, the
song instrument names and the song sample names.
* Each user of your UNIX box can save all the sound options.
* And much more!

LibAiff is a library for C applications, providing transparent read and
write operations for Audio Interchange File Format files.
With LibAiff your application can easily use the Audio IFF format to
interchange digital audio.
LibAiff wants to implement all the features of the AIFF 1.3 standard,
including markers, comments, etc.
This version of LibAiff supports the following features:
* Reading any valid Audio IFF file.
* Writing a valid Audio IFF file.
* Reading a compressed AIFF Compressed (AIFC) file with audio encoded
in Linear PCM, both big-endian and little-endian.
* Read & write samples in all formats supported by the Audio IFF standard.
* Convert any sample format to and from 32 bits.
* Getting and setting all the AIFF Attributes.
* Reading and writing markers to positions on the sound.
* Reading instrument data from AIFF files.
WWW: http://aifftools.sourceforge.net/libaiff/
Changes include a new search function ('/' and 'n', just like Mutt and Vi),
proper libsndfile support on big endian platforms, support for older glib 2.x
versions and improved M3U and PLS support.

+ Add support for WITHOUT_NLS.
+ Remove patch-configure as it doesn't seem to affect the build any
longer, with or without libtool in the system -- tested with diff.
+ Fix pkg-plist: The locale dirs used here are either standard,
listed in BSD.local.dist, or managed by the gettext port, so
we needn't try to remove them.

GNUstep and Mac OS X. Similar in look and feel to XMMS, it can read the
most-known sound file formats: MP3, Ogg, FLAC, Mod, XM, AIFF, WAV and more.
Very easy to use, it integrates well with the GNUstep desktop environment
and shows a nice example of a cross-platform OpenStep application.

libnoise is a portable C++ library that is used to generate coherent
noise, a type of smoothly-changing noise. libnoise can generate
Perlin noise, ridged multifractal noise, and other types of
coherent-noise.
Coherent noise is often used by graphics programmers to generate
natural-looking textures, planetary terrain, and other things. The
mountain scene shown above was rendered in Terragen with a terrain
file generated by libnoise. You can also view some other examples of
what libnoise can do.
In libnoise, coherent-noise generators are encapsulated in classes
called noise modules. There are many different types of noise
modules. Some noise modules can combine or modify the outputs of
other noise modules in various ways; you can join these modules
together to generate very complex coherent noise.
