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.

upcoming update of SeaMonkey 2 and Thunderbird 3 because they changed
the distribution format. By default MOZSRC is equal to WRKSRC which is
set to ${WRKDIR}/mozilla and reflect the old behaviour.
In SeaMonkey 2 and Thunderbird 3 MOZSRC is set to the mozilla directory
which is a subdirectory of WRKSRC.

- On FreeBSD >= 7.2 allocate the new thread with adequate amount of stack
space to run the main ruby code in. This allows to mitigate problem
when too low stack space available for ruby when running with pthreads
enabled.
- Bump portrevision.
The long version. Before this change we used to link ruby against pthreads
uncoditionally on all versions of FreeBSD. This is indispensable in order
to load the threaded shared objects withing ruby. However, this causes a
dramatic decrease in the stack space available as pthreads only allows
up to several megabytes of stack space for the main application threads.
The only solution to this is to create the new thread immediately after
the program start with rigth stack size attributes set. Nonetheless this
scheme won't work for us on FreeBSD version before 7.2 as malloc implementation
in these versions was not threaded fork safe (i.e. this is impossible to
fork from the threaded program and expect malloc/free functions to work).
Thus the only solution for now can be to disable pthreads entirely on
FreeBSD <= 7.2. This won't cause any performance/usability problems for
users as Ruby 1.8 uses green threads, however it may prevent <= 7.2
users to load shared libraries linked agains pthreads.

when building with USE_FORTRAN=yes. This makes us use libstdc++.so.6
(and others) brought by this port as opposed to /usr/bin/libstdc++.so.6
that comes with our system compiler which is based on an older version
of GCC 4.2. Newer version of GCC run-time libraries with the same soname
are always backwards compatible.

- Few changes to the new USERS/GROUPS variables (users/groups are created
earlier, so they're available in do-install; creates homedir when
it's not /var/empty or /nonexistent; set login class if specified).

a refcount to know if any port is using them.
