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

- Add PYDISTUTILS_NOEGGINFO to fix plist issues [1].
- Integrate with bsd.wx.mk: the noticeable difference is that ports using
USE_WX=2.6+ and WX_COMPS=python will be built from now on with wxWidgets
2.8, which was previously restricted for these ports because of the lack of
the "python" component for version 2.6 [1].

at least on Linux and Windows, and probably more), compiler-independent (it
compiles under at GCC 3.2 or higher and MSVC++ 7.1 or higher, and probably
more), and driver-independent. A reference driver for SDL is provided, and it
is straightforward to write one for yourself should you decide to do so.
Features:
* True modularity. You provide the initialized OpenGL environment and user
input, and GG provides the GUI behavior. A reference SDL input driver is
provided.
* Independence of platform, compiler, and input driver/application framework.
* Applicability to multiple types of frame-based apps. Any frame-based app can
use GG, from FPS to TBS games.

Tk::CheckBox - A radio button style widget that uses a
check mark in a box. Useful as a boolean field.
Tk::Columns - A multicolumn list widget with resizeable borders
and sorting by column.
Tk::ComboEntry - A Drop down listbox + entry widget with nice keyboard
equivalent behaviour
Tk::IconCanvas - A canvas implementing a moveable iconic interface.
Allows attaching menus to icons and to background.
Tk::SplitFrame - A sliding separator for two child widgets. Allows either
horizontal or vertical separation between the two widgets.
Can work in concert as horizontal inside vertical or
vice-versa.
Tk::TabFrame - A tabbed frame geometry manager (like NoteBook).
Tk::DockFrame - A dockable widget management widget hierarchy.
Tk::CornerBox - A textured window resizing widget (like in Win95)
Tk::Signals - A publish and subscribe object signalling method like
that found in QT. Very useful when widgets that are not
in the same hierarchy need to alert each other to various
application level events.

Tk::FontDialog implements a font dialog widget.
The dialog is displayed by calling the Show method. The returned value
is either the selected font (if the dialog was closed with the Ok
button) or undef (otherwise). The exact type of the return value is
either a Tk::Font object (in Tk800) or a font name string (usually
something like font1). Both can be used as values in Tk -font options.

releases in that it focuses more on stability and functionality than on
new features. Not that it doesn't have its share of new and exciting
items. See http://www.gnome.org/start/2.18/ for all the goodies in
this release.
GNOME 2.18 for FreeBSD would not have been possible without the hard work
of the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our intrepid band of testers including
J. W. Ballantine, Pawel Worach, Yasuda Keisuke, Pascal Hofstee, miwi,
Yoshihiro Ota, Vladimir Grebenschikov, Jukka A. Ukkonen,
Phillip Neumann, Franz Klammer, and Neal Delmonico.
The goal is to eliminate duplication of effort and provide some
standardization (well, at least for GTK+ apps).

technology-based applications ("Java applications") first-class citizens of
current desktop platforms without sacrificing platform independence.
JDIC provides Java applications with access to facilities provided by the native
desktop such as the mailer, the browser, and registered document viewing
applications. Additionally it provides the mechanisms by which Java applications
can integrate into the native desktop such as registering Java applications as
document viewers on the desktop, creating tray icons on the desktop and creating
installer packages.
JDIC consists of a collection of Java packages (JDIC API), all with the package
name prefix org.jdesktop.jdic, and a JNLP application packaging tool (JDIC
Packager).
Note: only the tray icon API is built at the moment.
