This release notes detailing all of the new goodies in GNOME 2.8 can
be found at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/, and the list of what
was fixed in GNOME 2.8.1 can be found at
http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2004-October/msg00056.html.
This release, as well as all of our others, would not have been possible
without the great efforts of our FreeBSD GNOME Team. The list of
current members can be found at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/contact.html
(including our newest member, Michael Johnson <ahze@FreeBSD.org>).
Special thanks also goes out to all of the loyal FreeBSD GNOME users that
put up with crashes and hangs to test and debug GNOME on FreeBSD. We would
especially like to thank those users that provided patches for GNOME 2.7 and
2.8:
Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com>
Piotr Smyrak <piotr.smyrak@heron.pl>
Radek Kozlowski <radek@raadradd.com>
Khairil Yusof <kaeru@pd.jaring.my>
Yasuda Keisuke <kysd@po.harenet.ne.jp>
Tom McLaughlin <tmclaugh@sdf.lonestar.org>
Vladimir Grebenschikov <vova@fbsd.ru>
GNOME 2.8 also features a new, FreeBSD-specific splashscreen that
was designed by jimmac for GNOME 2.8, then daemonized by
Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com> and Radek Kozlowski
<radek@raadradd.com>.
As with GNOME 2.6, you cannot just "portupgrade" to GNOME 2.8. There is
a script provided at http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade28.sh
that will aid in the upgrade process. Full documentation on the GNOME 2.8
upgrade is coming following this commit.
From all of us at FreeBSD GNOME, ENJOY!
It contains several bug fixes, especially for the new alt-tab code.
1. Adopt this port, at least for the time being. I use it every day,
and follow the wm-user list so I'm probably qualified.
2. Update the descriptions of the OPTIONS.
3. Restore the knob for KDE, and add knobs for XINERAMA and the
additional LINGUAS files. These, and the XKB_STATUS knobs are all
off by default, but on for the PACKAGE_BUILDING case. I borrowed
this concept from the fluxbox port.
4. Add a knob for the experimental virtual desktop code, off by default.
The window maker folks warn that this is still experimental, so users
shouldn't wander into it by mistake.
5. Instead of bumping the SHLIB version number to 5, set it back to 4.
The window maker folks use N.N.N for their libwraster version string,
and their version for the 0.80.2 version of window maker was 2.3.0.
Thus, our previous version number of 4 was already bogus, so keep it
bogus even though they've bumped their version to 3.N.N. The new lib
is forward compatible for apps compiled with old library (I've tested
many of them), and this "fixes" all the ports that depend on libwraster.
6. Make the locale files hidden under the LINGUAS knob conditional
in the plist.
- Fix libwraster shared library version
- Remove a patch which is no longer needed
- Remove options which are no longer supported
- Fix pkg-plist
- Revise pkg-descr

This release adds many new features, including font anti-aliasing.
1. Update LIB_DEPENDS to include Xft
2. Modernize USE_LIBTOOL
3. Hermes is no longer relevant
4. Update man page list and pkg-plist for new version
Work around an incompatibility between fltk (a dependency) and libXft
version 2 which results in flwm getting a SIGSEGV at startup. This
basically prevents the vertical labels from being drawn in the vertical
title bar on the left of the window. Otherwise there is no change in
functionality.
I tried using newer versions of fltk but they either had the same problem
or were so new that flwm could not be linked.
Relinquish ports I happen to no longer use. They seem to be of the latest
versions, and non-broken, so this is a "clean" dump.
