<p>The &os; GNOME Team maintains the GNOME, MATE, and
CINNAMON desktop environments and graphical user interfaces for
&os;. GNOME 3 is part of the GNU Project. MATE is a fork of
the GNOME 2 desktop. CINNAMON is a desktop environment using
GNOME 3 technologies but with a GNOME 2 look and feel.</p>
<p>At the end of this quarter we updated GNOME and CINNAMON
to the latest versions on their branches, 3.14 and 2.4,
respectively.</p>
<p>GNOME 3.16 was released February 25th; we ported it to
&os;. There are still some showstopper problems that showed up.
During testing of the current versions of the 3.16 ports a bug
in pkg was uncovered in the multiple repository support, and
swiftly fixed in pkg 1.4.99.15.</p>
<p>For the GNOME 3.18 cycle we going to work closely with
the x11 team on porting libinput and testing Wayland. When that
is done we need to see if we want to enable Wayland for our
stable releases and we probably need XWayland from
<tt>xorg-server</tt> 1.16+ to support X applications. The
estimate is that Wayland arriving in ports will have to wait
until 8.4-Release is EOL.</p>

slowly, on the development section. We could use some
