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:

to unbreak gtk-doc as well as removes a ton of gross hacks to support
the old location. Also, import some CVS patches from SK to fix some
potential crashes when installing bad catalogs.
While I tested this with a full SK database rebuild, problems may still
occur. Please let me know if you encounter any issues with OMF files
after this commit.
SGML catalogs in favor of its own XML format catalogs as well as prevent
scrollkeeper from making HTTP connections to obtain DTDs for OMF
validation.

will be followed if it is a symlink.
