amount of work by the FreeBSD GNOME Team and our testers.
On top of the usual GNOME update, we have taken this opportunity to move
GNOME from X11BASE to LOCALBASE. This means roughly 600 ports NOT part of
the GNOME Desktop also need to be changed. The bulk of the move was carried
out by ahze, mezz, and pav, but it would not have been possible without
cooperation from the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure
GNOME and KDE can still coexist happily. We would also like to send a
shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with multiple test runs
until we got something that was solid.
Back to GNOME 2.16. This release brings a huge amount of new functionality
to FreeBSD. The standard release notes can be read at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/ . But on top of what you will read there,
jylefort and marcus have completed work on a port of HAL to FreeBSD. This
will allow FreeBSD to take advantage of closer hardware interaction such
as auto-mounting CD-ROMs, USB drives, and music players; auto-playing
audio CDs; and managing laptop power consumption.
But where would this all be without our loyal testers and contributors?
Therefore, the FreeBSD GNOME team would like to thank the following users:

Oggz provides a simple programming interface for reading and writing
Ogg files and streams. Ogg is an interleaving data container developed
by Monty at Xiph.Org, originally to support the Ogg Vorbis audio
format.
liboggz supports the flexibility afforded by the Ogg file format while
presenting the following API niceties:
* Strict adherence to the formatting requirements of Ogg bitstreams,
to ensure that only valid bitstreams are generated
* A simple, callback based open/read/close or open/write/close interface
to raw Ogg files
* A customisable seeking abstraction for seeking on multitrack Ogg data
* A packet queue for feeding incoming packets for writing, with
callback based notification when this queue is empty
* A means of overriding the IO functions used by Oggz, for easier
integration with media frameworks and similar systems.
* A handy table structure for storing information on each logical
bitstream

The biggest change is that the database is now MySQL instead of SQLite.
Slimserver starts it's own MySQL instance so you don't need to deal with
MySQL configuration, but both the client and server are now
dependencies. For more info see the change log at:
http://www.slimdevices.com/Changelog6.html
Most of the binary perl modules are now port dependencies. YAML-Syck is
not yet because it didn't work. I suspect a version issues (the ports
version is newer).
