http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/ for the official release notes, and a list
of all the gooides in this new release. In particular, GNOME 2.14 focused
on performance, and they did not miss the mark. There's some new eye candy,
but most of the big things are waiting until GNOME 2.16. On the FreeBSD
side, we tried to clean up all the crashers we could. In particular, we
really improved GNOME's 64-bit support.
The good news is that this release does not bring any big shared library
version bumps, so you can almost do a simple portupgrade to get to 2.14.
There are a few minor gotchas that will be documented in UPDATING shortly.
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like th thank the following users for their
patches, feedback, and sometimes incessant complaing about crashes (you
know who you are).

comparing resultsets, SQL script debugging, and more.

Axiom is an object database, or alternatively, an
object-relational mapper.
Its primary goal is to provide an object-oriented layer
with what we consider to be the key aspects of OO, i.e.
polymorphism and message dispatch, without hindering the
power of an RDBMS. It is designed to "feel pythonic", without
encouraging the typical ORM behavior such as potato
programming.
Axiom provides a full interface to the database, which
strongly suggests that you do not write any SQL of your
own. Metaprogramming is difficult and dangerous (as many,
many SQL injection attacks amply demonstrate). Writing your
own SQL is still possible, however, and Axiom does have
several methods which return fragments of generated schema
if you wish to use them in your own queries.
