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:

I'm not able to find good Indic fonts in the ports. Fedora's Lohit
project has some great fonts for a whole bunch of Indian languages and
many Linux distros provide it in their repos.
Here's a link to Gentoo's ebuild:

A collection of Indic fonts by the Lohit project.
The package supports most Indian languages:
- Bengali
- Gujarati
- Hindi
- Kannada
- Malayalam
- Oriya
- Punjabi
- Tamil
- Telugu

- Mark XFree86-4 as DEPRECATED with EXPIRATION_DATE set to 2007-12-25.
I hope that nobody will be bored enough on Christmas to remove them on
that day.
Tested by: vehemens, Rene Ladan, Beech Rintoul, sarek on x11@
supports them. This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
subdirectory detection.
