The FreeBSD GNOME Team is delighted to announce the release of the GNOME 2.6 Desktop and Developer suites for FreeBSD. Accompanying this release are the usual meta-port bumps for the GNOME Fifth Toe, Power Tools, Hacker Tools, and Office.
For the highlights of what's new in GNOME 2.6, please checkout our upgrade FAQ at: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html This page will give GNOME users a script which they can use to assist with the upgrade. IF YOU ARE A GNOME DESKTOP USER, YOU MUST USE THIS SCRIPT TO UPGRADE. If you'd rather install from packages, go to http://www.marcuscom.com/tinderbox/ where you will find i386 packages for all supported FreeBSD versions. In addition to the GNOME-wide improvements in GNOME 2.6, there have been some FreeBSD-specific additions as well. First, certain types of media (e.g. CD-ROMs, floppies, etc.) are now mountable dynamically for Nautilus. This release also consolidates the KDE menus (if KDE is installed) so there isn't as much clutter under the Applications menu. Finally, we have a spiffy new splash screen created by Franz Klammer. As always, GNOME on FreeBSD would not be possible without the effort of this team (http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/contact.html), its alumni, and our users.
