release can be found at http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.28/ . 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.

This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection. For an easy to use WEB-based interface to it, please see: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports For general information on the Ports Collection, please see the FreeBSD Handbook ports section which is available from: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html for the latest official version or: The ports(7) manual page (man ports). These will explain how to use ports and packages. If you would like to search for a port, you can do so easily by saying (in /usr/ports): make search name="<name>" or: make search key="<keyword>" which will generate a list of all ports matching <name> or <keyword>. make search also supports wildcards, such as: make search name="gtk*" For information about contributing to FreeBSD ports, please see the Porter's Handbook, available at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ NOTE: This tree will GROW significantly in size during normal usage! The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles, and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically cleaned without ill-effect.
