release can be found at http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.30/ .
This release brings initial PackageKit support, Upower (replaces power
management part of hal), cuse4bsd integration with HAL and cheese, and a
faster Evolution.
Sadly GNOME 2.30.x will be the last release with FreeBSD 6.X support. This
will also be the last of the 2.x releases. The next release will be the
highly-anticipated GNOME 3.0 which will bring with it a new UI experience.
Currently, there are a few bugs with GNOME 2.30 that may be of note for our
users. Be sure to consult the UPGRADING note or the 2.30 upgrade FAQ at
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq230.html for specific upgrading
instructions, and the up-to-date list of known issues.
This release features commits by avl, ahze, bland, marcus, mezz, and myself.
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like to thank Anders F Bjorklund for doing the
initual packagekit porting.

and first optimizations that GCC 4.5 brings. This adds libelf as a new
dependency (if used) and is off by default; we may be enabling it at a
later point, though.
Bumping PORTREVISION since someone who has installed libelf, previously
to this change would get LTO enabled automatically and then run into
problems if libelf is removed -- which is possible, since this port
does not lay down a dependency on that case.

Perl, similar to what is found in other languages (such as Java, Python
or C++). The standard method of using eval {}; if($@) {} is often prone
to subtle bugs, primarily that tis far too easy to stomp on the error in
error handlers. And also eval/if isn't the nicest idiom.

Source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for
Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws upon C,
Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. The main goal of the language is to
allow web developers to write dynamically generated webpages quickly, but
you can do much more with PHP.
