FreeBSD news : grn

A NNTP client for Gnome

 Grn is NNTP client which is written with the help of Gnome and Gtk. It is
designed primarily to look like tin as much as possible, but work under X, and
use all the advantages that Gnome and Gtk provide. It is written also under the
influence of FleetStreet - an FTN-compatible message editor for OS/2
Presentation Manager. 

Grn also uses pthreads to allow the user to interact with the program during
different time-consuming tasks (such as fetching grouplist or threading
articles - these all run in another thread).

v. 1.22
date: 2007/10/24 23:36:25;  author: marcus;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1
Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD.  The official
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:

Yasuda Keisuke
Frank Jahnke
Pawel Worach
Brian Gruber
Franz Klammer
Yuri Pankov
Nick Barkas
Cristian KLEIN
Tony Maher
Scot Hetzel
Martin Matuska (mm)
Benoit Dejean
Martin Wilke (miwi)
(And anyone else I may have missed)
