GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).
The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and
contributors:

1. Update to xscrabble 2.12

"You might be able to improve upon this"
This port does something I don't like: it installs an empty,
unwritable scrabble_scores file in a directory whose contents
shouldn't be modified. Players then need to override the
app-defaults by placing a
XScrabble.scorefile: /path/to/scrabble_scores
line in $HOME/.Xdefaults (or $HOME/.Xresources, whatever).
Wouldn't it make more sense to create a new, empty, writable
score file under /var/games (if it doesn't exist) upon
package installation; make the app-defaults file reference that;
on deinstall, remove /var/games/scrabble_scores if it is empty or
print a message indicating this file needs to be deleted manually
in order to remove all traces?

The game quantum minigolf is nearly the same as the game minigolf
- except that the ball obeys the laws of quantum mechanics.
Such a ball can be at several places at once. It can diffract around
obstacles and interfere with itself. Apart from that, the rules are
the same: You can play on various tracks involving various obstacles.
You hit the ball with a club and try to kick it into a hole on the
other side of the track.

Received email stating "build fails on amd64 system with a
message about unsupported instructions. [...] Modifying
patch-Makefile so that -m486 / -mtune 486 option is removed
fixed the problem for me." Updated Makefile to add PORTREVISION
so that updates will be seen by ports-tools, implemented
arch suggestions for fixes, removing most mention of
architecture specific instructions. Those will likely be
in make.conf, anyway, and if so will be passed along due
to inclusion.

no longer requires this game to be played. It only uses its engine, which is
open sourced through the GPL and may be distributed freely. Urban Terror plays
in about the same setting as Counter Strike, but is less focused on realism
and plays much faster, which among other things, is caused by the ability to
strafe jump, which combined with wall jumping can lead to very quick movement
and nice jumps. Urban Terror has 7 game modes, 25 maps and 15 weapons.
This port only contains the data, and can be played with ioUrbanTerror
(games/iourbanterror) or any other Quake 3 Arena compatible engine.

Changelog:
* Improved Russian translation, it should outperform the vanilla-translation now.
* Implement SoundSetPan(). This caused an unexpected termination of the game in
certain places (e.g. Bug Queen).
* Fixed an infinite loop when throwing objects.
* Added a desktop file for better desktop integration.
* Fixed (as always) an assortment of vanilla bugs like: misplacement of some
texts and gui elements; salary of non-AIM/MERC mercenaries was assumed to
be 0, so it did not count towards the min/max/daily salary stats; vehicles
had been counted in for calculating the average stats in the personnel screen.
* Changed the scroll speeds, so diagonal scrolling is always axis aligned.
* As usual code cleanups and minor fixes.

- Remove FreeBSD 4.x support (USE_GCC=3.4+ and files/extra-patch-*).
- Add USE_XLIB when using USE_GL, since it doesn't imply it anymore.
- Use ~/.ioquake3 for writing instead of original ~/.q3a, because the new
configuration files have more variables, and would be removed if overwriten
by another engine. Note it in pkg-message.
- Install README.
Does not need to ber setuid nobody, as this breaks the
per-user rc-files goal; setgid with group-writable files should
suffice. Configured for the new personalities feature, and added a

was moved from the executable to a file.)
