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.

should now work properly.
Add patch to fix profiling on 8.5 AND whenever the system has been up
for more than 25 days -- the latter used to overflow the clock_t-sized
variables, because TclX uses these 31-bit values to store milliseconds.
Use the proper method to obtain CLK_TCK -- if only on FreeBSD.
in an unintended call to write ZERO bytes to any descriptor, that was
opened for writing, when closing it.
When the descriptor belongs to a pipe, with its other end closed -- such
as when the started process has exited, doing so results in a SIGPIPE.
Tcl's core ignores SIGPIPEs, but TclX' self-tests didn't and began to
fail.
The bug should now be fixed in Tcl, but this patch is needed for TclX to
pass its own tests even when using the uncorrected version of Tcl.
care for, because the line was never reachable on FreeBSD.
Our new and improved sh cares deeply about such problems, however, and
configure started to fail even on 7-STABLE at the beginning of October.

The old package list was very incomplete, resulting in a useless package
lacking many of the files that would have been installed.
It would be impossible to even start 'pike' from a package install.
The plist would also be incorrect if any OPTIONS were selected.
The only reason Pointyhat and others didn't complain loudly was
because of some strategically placed '@unexec rm -rf's.
- Bump PORTREVISION.
Minor style changes.
Adjust the ports description to the new style I am using for the various
gcc ports and remove an obsolete note on memory consumption when building
libgcj (the Java library).

version when using Fortran (as seen by USE_FORTRAN=yes) and there and
GCC 4.5 is where upstream is focusing and fixing bugs, etc. Given the
rapid evolution of the new GCC Fortran frontend, it is strict preferrable.
Discussed with: Steve Kargl <sgk@troutmask.apl.washington.edu>,
Pedro F. Giffuni <giffunip@yahoo.com>
Remove support for the Java frontend and library where users are better
served using GCC 4.4 or later. This makes this port a whole lot cheaper
and also allows us to remove the (somewhat bogus) check for lang/gcc295
as well as WANT_GNOME.
No longer download Objective-C related files which we don't actually use.
