The release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnwhatsnew.html, and will give you a
good idea of what has gone into this release overall. However, a lot of
FreeBSD specific additions and fixes have been made. For example, this
release offers fixed ACPI support as well as new CPU freqeuncy monitoring
support. See the FreeBSD GNOME 2.10 upgrade page at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq210.html for the entire list as well
as a list of known issues and upgrade instructions.
GNOME 2.10, as well as all of our releases, would not be possible without
the great team that goes into porting and testign each and every component.
Thanks definitely goes out to ahze, adamw, bland, kwm, mezz, and pav for all
their work. We would also like to thank our adventurous users that chose to
ride the walrus. We'd especially like to thank the following users that
provided patches for GNOME 2.10:
ade
Yasuda Keisuke
Franz Klammer
Khairil Yusof
Radek Kozlowsk
And anyone else I may have accidentally omitted.
As with GNOME 2.8, 2.10 comes with a brand-spankin' new splashscreen
courtesy of Franz Klammer. However, unlike GNOME 2.8, we've included all
of the FreeBSD GNOME splashscreen entries with gnomesession. You can
use the deskutils/splashsetter port to choose the one you like best.
As always, GNOME users should _not_ use portupgrade alone to upgrade to
2.10. Instead, get the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh.
Enjoy!

Skippy-XD is a version of Skippy that uses Xserver's XDamage, XComposite and
XFixes extensions to provide you with 'live' versions of the windows.
Skippy-XD is best described as a full-screen task-switcher for X11. It tries to
provide an alternative when taskbars or regular task-switchers aren't the most
efficient way of switching tasks (like when you have a lot of applications open)
When activated (currently only through a hotkey), it will arrange and scale
snapshots of all windows on the current desktop and it'll let you pick a
window using a mouse or a keyboard. Yes, this is also what expocity and Apple's
Expose.

DRI drivers are incompatible with the old libGL in XFree86, they have been
repocopied to graphics/xfree86-dri. Also note that with this commit the html
manpages are going away, and with it the runtime dependency on perl for the
imake port.

-Some clean up such as:
o Teach about the target.
o GNU_CONFIGURE -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=15
o Remove the un-need -NLS patch; it works by default.
o Teach about ${LOCALBASE}/include and ${LOCALBASE}/lib, now it will
find pkg-config, libiconv and etc correct.
o Use better WWW for fluxbox-devel: http://fluxbox.org/version-0.9.php
As for -CURRENT and malloc.conf->AJ users should be happy with this release
now, because it fixed the memory leaks and etc. Fluxbox should run without get
any crash.

This release notes detailing all of the new goodies in GNOME 2.8 can
be found at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/, and the list of what
was fixed in GNOME 2.8.1 can be found at
http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2004-October/msg00056.html.
This release, as well as all of our others, would not have been possible
without the great efforts of our FreeBSD GNOME Team. The list of
current members can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/contact.html
(including our newest member, Michael Johnson <ahze@FreeBSD.org>).
Special thanks also goes out to all of the loyal FreeBSD GNOME users that
put up with crashes and hangs to test and debug GNOME on FreeBSD. We would
especially like to thank those users that provided patches for GNOME 2.7 and
2.8:
Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com>
Piotr Smyrak <piotr.smyrak@heron.pl>
Radek Kozlowski <radek@raadradd.com>
Khairil Yusof <kaeru@pd.jaring.my>
Yasuda Keisuke <kysd@po.harenet.ne.jp>
Tom McLaughlin <tmclaugh@sdf.lonestar.org>

GNOME 2.8 also features a new, FreeBSD-specific splashscreen that
was designed by jimmac for GNOME 2.8, then daemonized by
Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com> and Radek Kozlowski
<radek@raadradd.com>.
As with GNOME 2.6, you cannot just "portupgrade" to GNOME 2.8. There is
a script provided at http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade28.sh
that will aid in the upgrade process. Full documentation on the GNOME 2.8
upgrade is coming following this commit.
From all of us at FreeBSD GNOME, ENJOY!
It contains several bug fixes, especially for the new alt-tab code.
1. Adopt this port, at least for the time being. I use it every day,
and follow the wm-user list so I'm probably qualified.
2. Update the descriptions of the OPTIONS.
3. Restore the knob for KDE, and add knobs for XINERAMA and the
additional LINGUAS files. These, and the XKB_STATUS knobs are all
off by default, but on for the PACKAGE_BUILDING case. I borrowed
this concept from the fluxbox port.
4. Add a knob for the experimental virtual desktop code, off by default.
The window maker folks warn that this is still experimental, so users
shouldn't wander into it by mistake.
5. Instead of bumping the SHLIB version number to 5, set it back to 4.
The window maker folks use N.N.N for their libwraster version string,
and their version for the 0.80.2 version of window maker was 2.3.0.
Thus, our previous version number of 4 was already bogus, so keep it
bogus even though they've bumped their version to 3.N.N. The new lib
is forward compatible for apps compiled with old library (I've tested
many of them), and this "fixes" all the ports that depend on libwraster.
6. Make the locale files hidden under the LINGUAS knob conditional
in the plist.
- Fix libwraster shared library version
- Remove a patch which is no longer needed
- Remove options which are no longer supported
- Fix pkg-plist
- Revise pkg-descr

This release adds many new features, including font anti-aliasing.
1. Update LIB_DEPENDS to include Xft
2. Modernize USE_LIBTOOL
3. Hermes is no longer relevant
4. Update man page list and pkg-plist for new version
Work around an incompatibility between fltk (a dependency) and libXft
version 2 which results in flwm getting a SIGSEGV at startup. This
basically prevents the vertical labels from being drawn in the vertical
title bar on the left of the window. Otherwise there is no change in
functionality.
I tried using newer versions of fltk but they either had the same problem
or were so new that flwm could not be linked.
Relinquish ports I happen to no longer use. They seem to be of the latest
versions, and non-broken, so this is a "clean" dump.

- Move MAN1 outside the bsd.port.pre.mk.
- Turn the knobs order into ABCs order.
- Few other clean up to make the portlint a bit happy man.
- No function change and now is easier to read.
- Reset maintainer: Hendrik no longer has time to look after his ports.
Thanks for maintaining your ports so far and hopefully you'll find time
to return to developing FreeBSD!

the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port. Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version. To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.
For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).
