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).

Functionality of runsvctrl(8), runsvstat(8), svwaitup(8), svwaitdown(8)
has been rolled into sv(8)
- Update startup script to use sv(8) instead of runsvctrl(8)
It is:
# Written in C.
# Reasonably fast and small. The ldapvi client needs about as much time for
receiving entries as the OpenLDAP server needs to sends them, which should be
fast enough.
# Shows a summary of changes before committing them. Details of the changes can
be previewed in LDIF format.
# Uses an LDIF-like format in the editor (which should be easier to use
interactively than standard LDIF).
# Can rename entries.
# Does not give up easily. On error, you can edit the file again or rebind to
the server and try again.

There are two patches in the PR mentioned bye pkg-message, but
this tool depends on the first one and doesn't work with the
second one. This should be clearly mentioned.

- builds on 4.x with an EXTRA_PATCH
