FreeBSD. The official GNOME 2.22 release notes can be found at
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/ . On the FreeBSD front,
this release features an updated hal port with support for video4linux
devices, DRM (Direct Rendering), and better support of removable media. Work
is also underway to tie webkit more closely into GNOME. As part of the
GNOME 2.22 upgrade, GStreamer received a rather large upgrade as well.
Be sure to consult UPDATING on the proper steps to upgrade all of your
GNOME ports.
This release would not have been possible without the contributions and
testing efforts of the following people:

that does not use a 512-byte sector size.

* Fix some issues with iso9660, linux_raid, hfs, and via_raid detection from
vendor
* "Fix" detection of FAT32 volumes that have bad fsinfo signatures. This makes
FAT32 detection more lax, but since FreeBSD allows mounting of FAT32
volumes with bad fsinfo blocks, this won't be too big of a deal. In fact
this should fix problems some users are seeing with HAL not being able
to mount certain FAT32 volumes.
Libvolume_id is an API for obtaining many file system related attributes
(such as type, label, uuid, etc.) given an open file handle to a block
special device. HAL is the primary FreeBSD consumer of this port
currently.
Bits needed for this port to work on FreeBSD were provided by jylefort.
