e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

Those ports which define EMACS_PORT_NAME to be "emacs21" were
not touched (this time). They may be converted to the new
world order by removing the above mentioned assignment.
Four ports were marked as BROKEN with EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs23
(they do not compile):
. lang/bigloo;
. mail/wanderlust;
. mail/wanderlust-devel;
. www/emacs-w3m.
Three ports were marked as IGNORE with EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs23:
. japanese/egg-canna (the port version is dated as of 2001,
does not compile with Emacs 23 and seems it cannot be fixed);
. deskutils/remember.el (was incorporated into Emacs 23);
. editors/nxml (was incorporated into Emacs 23).
Changes that were made after (and as a result of) exp run. For
those ports:
. japanese/migemo-emacs21;
. japanese/migemo-emacs22
EMACS_PORT_NAME?= was changed to EMACS_PORT_NAME= to the apropriate
emacs port name.

- This release fixes a large number of issues with transparency,
especially as it interacts with color space conversion, mask
contexts and patterns. There have also been a number of
significant fixes to font handling, especially when generating
PDF. And there are numerous robustness, correctness and
performance improvements.
- New generic Esc/Page devices, eplmono and eplcolor were added
to the contrib directory. A new cdnj500 device was added to
support the HP DesignJet 500.
- The licensing of the Free version of the core Ghostscript code
has been changed to GPLv3 or later. Previously, the core code
was GPLv2 only. Ghostscript can now be used with GPLv3
applications, and can no longer be used with applications that
are GPLv2-only.
- This release also includes security fixes addressing
CVE-2009-0583 and CVE-2009-0792.
[Incompatible changes]
- The size of PostScript integers has been limited to 32
bits. Previously they used the C long type resulting in 64 bits
of precision on LP64 systems (like on x86_64). As of this
release all platforms match the recommended implementation
limits in the specification.

Officially, this is mostly a polishing release in preparation for GNOME 3.0
due in about a year.
On the FreeBSD front, though, a lot went into this release. Major thanks
goes to kwm and avl who did a lot of the porting work for this release.
In particular, kwm brought in Evolution MAPI support for better Microsoft
Exchange integration. Avl made sure that the new gobject introspection
repository ports were nicely compartmentalized so that large dependencies
aren't brought in wholesale.
But, every GNOME team member (ahze, avl, bland, kwm, mezz, and myself)
contributed to this release.
Other major improvements include an updated HAL with better volume
probing code, ufsid integration, and support for volume names containing
spaces (big thanks to J.R. Oldroyd); a new WebKit; updated AbiWord;
an updated Gimp; and a preview of the new GNOME Shell project (thanks to
Pawel Worach).
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like to that the following additional
contributors to this release whose patches and testing really helped
make it a success:
Andrius Morkunas
Dominique Goncalves
Eric L. Chen
J.R. Oldroyd
Joseph S. Atkinson
Li
Pawel Worach
Romain Tartière
Thomas Vogt
Yasuda Keisuke
Rui Paulo
Martin Wilke
(and an extra shout out to miwi and pav for pointyhat runs)
We would like to send this release out to Alexander Loginov (avl) in
hopes that he feels better soon.
