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:

This update is a collaboration between the maintainer and myself, the
libdesklets part isn't finished and needs a little more debugging (RAM
and boottime display).
Unfortunately we also have a problem with threads (they get created, but
they don't run/start) which we can't track down, so it's not easy to
debug the remaining libdesklets bugs.
We decided to commit the port in the current incarnation as at least the
desklets which I will commit shortly after this update will work without
problems.
