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:

gretl is used in the mathematical analysis of time series,
and has a functionality that is similar to various statistical
and signal processing components of it++, octave, scilab,
R, numpy/scipy, etc. -- most of which are in the math
category. It should really be placed there, rather than
in misc. In recognition of the fact that it implements
some methods that are commonly (but not exclusively!) used
in econometrics, it should also be given a secondary listing
in finance. (In my opinion, however, it shouldn't be given
a primary listing in that category, because most of the
ports there deal with the nuts-and-bolts of accounting,
payment methods, taxes, and stock tracking. To my knowledge,
the only ports now in finance that remotely resemble gretl
are quantlib, xtrader, and qtstalker, all of which employ
simpler methods that are more specific to financial time
series than are the more general methods in gretl.

Note that these directories are be removed by other dependency ports,
so I do not bump PORTREVISION for them. These affected ports are
belong to ports@.
