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:

in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

- Initially I planned to make a large Mono commit right after Gnome 2.12
was merged but the new Gnome has in part caused me to delay merging
updates to Mono and friends.

gtk-sharp20 for affected ports.
- Also correct incorrect RUN_DEPENDS=${BUILD_DEPENDS} still remaining
in mcatalog, bless, f-spot, and gecko-sharp10.

- Change maintainer to bsd-sharp-list@forge.novell.com.
- Remove the ${BUILD_DEPENDS} in RUN_DEPENDS, because it causes gmake, libtool
and few others become as runtime dependency, which they are just need to be
in the build dependency.
- Clean up in pkg-descr.
