Cython is a language that makes writing C extensions for the Python
language as easy as Python itself. Cython is based on the well-known
Pyrex, but supports more cutting edge functionality and optimizations.
The Cython language is very close to the Python language, but Cython
additionally supports calling C functions and declaring C types on
variables and class attributes. This allows the compiler to generate
very efficient C code from Cython code.
This makes Cython a language for wrapping external C libraries, and for
fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code.
LCMS is the Little Color Management System, a Color Matching Method
(CMM) library which implements fast transforms between ICC profiles.
Color management refers to techniques that ensure consistent color
as images are transferred from scanners or cameras to monitors and
printers.
The GNUstep Objective-C runtime is designed as a drop-in replacement for the
GCC runtime.
This version of the runtime is needed to get GNUstep ports working fine on sparc.
Not yet hooked up to the build. To make use of it, it needs an update for gnustep-make, and a bump on all dependent ports.
Waiting for gnustep-base update, which should arrive soon, to do all those things at the same time.

The WebServices library contains a collection of classes to be used for
creating client and server 'web service' applications. It is also useful
for general XML work as the API that is particularly simple and
efficient.

That's the first release following the new fast scheme of one major
release every 6 weeks..
Check out http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/5.0/releasenotes/ for
release notes. Note that it's still badly broken on sparc64, and
unlikely to be fixed soon... you still have www/firefox36.
Tested by (at least, probably forgetting some..) rpointel@, pea@,
ckuethe@ and myself on amd64, bluhm@ on i386 and ajacoutot@ on macppc
(thanks!)
