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.

KLatexFormula is a Qt4 program to easily get an image from a LaTeX
formula. Just enter a formula, click "Evaluate", then you can
drag&drop or copy the resulting image to another location (an
OpenOffice document, for example) or save it as an image (many
formats are available).

- Fixed LDFLAGS handling when OpenMP is enabled and X11 support is disabled.
The previous way it was handled caused optional image support (JPG, PNG,
etc.) to fail
NOTE: graphics/GraphicsMagick is not affected since it doesn't have OpenMP
support

The renderer in MuPDF is tailored for high quality anti-aliased graphics. It
renders text with metrics and spacing accurate to within fractions of a
pixel for the highest fidelity in reproducing the look of a printed page on
screen.
MuPDF has a small footprint. A binary that includes the standard Roman fonts
is only one megabyte. A build with full CJK support (including an Asian
font) is approximately five megabytes.
MuPDF has support for all non-interactive PDF 1.7 features, and the toolkit
provides a simple API for accessing the internal structures of the PDF
document. Example code for navigating interactive links and bookmarks,
encrypting PDF files, extracting fonts, images, and searchable text, and
rendering pages to image files is provided.
