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

- Replace from pkg-install to plist by use '@exec /bin/mkdir -p...', it's
easier that way.
- Correct the plist for plugins by add '@unexec /bin/rmdir....true'
- Re-enable install the .server and .xml files for bonobo/ui stuff, only
happen if GNOME is enable (autocheck by libgnomeui).
- Add CONFLICTS with abiword(-plugins)-devel now.
- As for plugins, grammar-checker, OpenWriter and OpenDocument have been added.

As for abiword-plugins:
- the libwpd (WordPerfect) plugin has been disabled because the
textproc/libwpd needs to be update to 0.8.x. I will creating a
patch of update and bugging to the maintainer.
- Remove AbiGdkPixbuf, it has been moved to the mainline (abiword)
and is enable by default (core; not a plugin). Finally, they did it!
- Change from autogen.sh to configure; it works fine with tweaks.
- No longer wv check for the conflict, which it depends on textproc/wv
rather than the one include AbiWord's tarball. I have tested my Mom
and sister's docs from their work/school and they works fine with wv
port. I don't see any problem or slowdown.
- Force AbiWord to check/compile everything what apps that are
installed (headers, libraries, etc) from ports rather than check and
use the stuff that are included in tarball such as wv, zlib, libpng,
popt and etc. (Use external dependencies.)
- Improvement the autochecks and knobs of WITH_ENCHANT and WITH_ASPELL.
- Add the new WITHOUT_GTKSPELL knob to allow us not depend and install
either Aspell or Enchant, but the spell checker will be still enable
and dictionary will be install. The spell checker works fine in my
test so far.
- Add install the Help docs to fix the ports/66623 and add a new
WITHOUT_HELP_DOCS to disable the install Help docs.

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
a dependency on it if it exists. Furthermore, modify the default
behaviour to install enchant if no dictionary backend is installed. Also
introduced is a WITH_ENCHANT option.
