USE_GCC2 or USE_GCC3 where appropriate.
the functionality of the old gcc.buildlink2.mk has been rolled into
compiler.mk now, which is automatically used.
more changes to come later...
Some highlights of changes since 4.2.3:
* PCRE updated to 4.3, GD to 2.0.15
* improved Apache2 support
* much improved stream & URL wrapper support, output compression support
* added CLI (Command Line Interface) SAPI
* debug_backtrace() backported from ZendEngine2
* faster build system
* huge number of other bug fixes and improvements
Packaging changes:
* 'pcre', 'xml', and 'session' modules folded back into main package -
'pcre' and 'xml' is required by PEAR, and 'session' is just too essential
to be separate
* 'gd' module now uses bundled PHP GD library, which is better integrated
* PHP modules use shared distinfo when possible to ease future PHP updates
* ${PREFIX}/bin/php is now CLI version, ${PREFIX}/libexec/cgi-big/php
remains CGI version
Active-DVI is a DVI previewer and presenter written in Objective Caml
(http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/) with some eye candy effects for
presentation, support for interactive demonstrations, and embedding of
arbitrary applications within the presentation (hence the Active
adjective of the presenter :).
Active-DVI currently supports the following features:
+ Encapsulated Postscript File inclusion (using graphics package)
+ Effects for presentation (pause, delay, text color change)
+ Embedded applications for interactive demonstration
+ Pictures visualization via gpic specials
+ Display of inlined Postscript using gs
+ Font antialiasing that takes background colors into account
+ Page display is interrupted on user input
+ Resizing the page adjusts the magnification
+ Start displaying at a given page or at a given link reference
+ The file is reloading on signal SIGUSR1
+ Hyperlinks
+ Active areas (execute an action when the mouse is over)
+ Background colors and images
+ Alpha blending for images
USE_PKGINSTALL is "YES". bsd.pkg.install.mk will no longer automatically
pick up a INSTALL/DEINSTALL script in the package directory and assume that
you want it for the corresponding *_EXTRA_TMPL variable.
for a possessive (like her, his, whose, their, and its).
Note that I didn't check for proper use of "its" (when it should
be "it is" or "it has" instead).
I also saw over 15 other grammar or punctuation problems, but not
fixed in this commit.
from README:
-----
New for Acrobat Reader 5.0.8
A security patch was applied that solves a problem reported
with long URLs in weblinks which can cause a buffer overrun.

XXX a solaris version is not tested.
This program makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from
TeX and its relatives.
It is intended to produce anti-aliased screen-resolution images as
fast as is possible. The target audience is people who need to
generate and regenerate many images again and again. The primary
target is the preview-latex (X)Emacs package, a package to preview
formulas from within (X)Emacs. Yes, you get to see your formulas
in the (X)Emacs buffer, see `http://preview-latex.sf.net'.
Another example is WeBWorK, an internet-based method for delivering
homework problems to students over the internet, giving students
instant feedback as to whether or not their answers are correct,
see `http://webwork.math.rochester.edu'.
Other applications may also benefit, like web applications as
latex2html and WYSIWYG editors like LyX.
on other Python extensions to propagate the Python version properly,
it is necessary to include "python/extension.mk" before the extensions'
"buildlink2.mk" files.

the installed files are not automatically included in the right place in
the system path and need to be either copied in /usr/bin or dealt with in
another way.
The saves a lot of frustration and puzzling esp. for the beginning user.
