Officially, this is mostly a polishing release in preparation for GNOME 3.0
due in about a year.
On the FreeBSD front, though, a lot went into this release. Major thanks
goes to kwm and avl who did a lot of the porting work for this release.
In particular, kwm brought in Evolution MAPI support for better Microsoft
Exchange integration. Avl made sure that the new gobject introspection
repository ports were nicely compartmentalized so that large dependencies
aren't brought in wholesale.
But, every GNOME team member (ahze, avl, bland, kwm, mezz, and myself)
contributed to this release.
Other major improvements include an updated HAL with better volume
probing code, ufsid integration, and support for volume names containing
spaces (big thanks to J.R. Oldroyd); a new WebKit; updated AbiWord;
an updated Gimp; and a preview of the new GNOME Shell project (thanks to
Pawel Worach).
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like to that the following additional
contributors to this release whose patches and testing really helped
make it a success:
Andrius Morkunas
Dominique Goncalves
Eric L. Chen
J.R. Oldroyd
Joseph S. Atkinson
Li
Pawel Worach
Romain Tartière
Thomas Vogt
Yasuda Keisuke
Rui Paulo
Martin Wilke
(and an extra shout out to miwi and pav for pointyhat runs)
We would like to send this release out to Alexander Loginov (avl) in
hopes that he feels better soon.

decoration that allows notably to:
- resize window borders,
- change buttons size,
- hide the horizontal separator.
- select different title bar blending and frame border size depending on
the window title or name, in order to have better integration of GTK
based windows in the decoration style.
- add a size-grip handle in the bottom-right corner of windows. This is
particularly useful when the no-border option is selected.

- Disconnect x11-wm/enlightenment-devel from the build
- Reconnect x11-wm/enlightenment to the build
- Update dependent ports
- Note the transition in UPDATING
Those ports are intended to be used with 8-CURRENT at least
with SVN r192206.
If you want to switch to linux-f10 ports, please define at /etc/make.conf:
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10
An upgrading procedure is shown at /usr/ports/UPDATING, entries 20090401
and 20070327.
For the first time all tested linux ports work as expected(!):
. acroread8;
. google-earth;
. skype;
. seamonkey.
Many thanks for kernel folks who really did the main work
(and I wrote only some lines of ports).
There is a good chance that those ports may become a default
for 8.0-RELEASE. Please, test and report back to emulation@ ML.
See original release announcement for details:
http://kde.org/announcements/announce-4.2.3.php
New ports:
devel/kdebindings4:
Meta port of KDE bindings for C#, Java, PHP, Python and Ruby.
Currently only Python bindings are supported.
devel/kdebindings4-python, devel/kdebindings4-python-krosspython,
devel/kdebindings4-python-pykde4:
Python bindings for KDE.
print/kdeutils4-printer-applet:
printer-applet is a system tray utility. It shows current print jobs,
shows printer warnings and errors and shows when printers that have
been plugged in for the first time are being auto-configured by
hal-cups-utils. It replaces kjobviewer in KDE 3.
print/system-config-printer-kde
A port of Gnome system-config-printer to KDE.

On the FreeBSD front, we introduced a port of libxul 1.9 as an alternative
for Firefox 2.0 as a Gecko provider. Almost all of the Gecko consumers
can make use of this provider by setting:
WITH_GECKO=libxul
The GNOME 2.26 port was done by ahze, kwm, marcus, and mezz with

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

notes can be found at:

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.
