The release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnwhatsnew.html, and will give you a
good idea of what has gone into this release overall. However, a lot of
FreeBSD specific additions and fixes have been made. For example, this
release offers fixed ACPI support as well as new CPU freqeuncy monitoring
support. See the FreeBSD GNOME 2.10 upgrade page at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq210.html for the entire list as well
as a list of known issues and upgrade instructions.
GNOME 2.10, as well as all of our releases, would not be possible without
the great team that goes into porting and testign each and every component.
Thanks definitely goes out to ahze, adamw, bland, kwm, mezz, and pav for all
their work. We would also like to thank our adventurous users that chose to
ride the walrus. We'd especially like to thank the following users that
provided patches for GNOME 2.10:
ade
Yasuda Keisuke
Franz Klammer
Khairil Yusof
Radek Kozlowsk
And anyone else I may have accidentally omitted.
As with GNOME 2.8, 2.10 comes with a brand-spankin' new splashscreen
courtesy of Franz Klammer. However, unlike GNOME 2.8, we've included all
of the FreeBSD GNOME splashscreen entries with gnomesession. You can
use the deskutils/splashsetter port to choose the one you like best.
As always, GNOME users should _not_ use portupgrade alone to upgrade to
2.10. Instead, get the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh.
Enjoy!
* fixed merging ac3 streams in avi containers
* fixed video bitrate allowed range

- Add WITH_DEBUG switch
gstreamer plugin (52 new ports).
- Chase changes to ports that used USE_GNOME=gstreamerplugisn
to use new USE_GSTREAMER= macro, Bump PORTREVISION's
--
Examples of new USE_GSTREAMER macro:
USE_GSTREAMER= dvd lame flac
.include <bsd.port.mk>
If you want to use USE_GSTREAMER after <bsd.port.pre.mk>
you must follow one of the examples listed below
WANT_GSTREAMER= yes
.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
.if defined(WITH_VORBIS)
USE_GSTREAMER+= vorbis
.endif
or
USE_GSTREAMER= yes
.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
.if defined(WITH_FAAD)
USE_GSTREAMER+= faad
.endif
Note: USE_GSTREAMER=yes will always add a dependency to
ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins
