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:

minimal hardware, allows the construction of radios where the
actual waveforms transmitted and received are defined by software.
What this means is that it turns the digital modulation schemes
used in today's high performance wireless devices into software problems.

comms/tilp has been superseded by comms/tilp2
It was kept arround until the latter matured, which can now
be considered the case. The original version is no longer
supported by the authors and both ports conflict now. I'm
not sure what exactly should happen, but for me the port
can be removed and maybe added to MOVED.
