<title>Announcing GNOME 2.28.1. for FreeBSD!</title>
<p>Presenting GNOME 2.28.1 for FreeBSD. The official release
notes for this release can be found at
<a href="http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.28/">
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.28/</a>
. Officially, this is mostly a polishing release in preparation
for GNOME 3.0 due in about a year.</p>
<p>On the FreeBSD front, though, a lot went into this release.
Major thanks goes to kwm and avl who did a lot of the porting
work for this release. In particular, kwm brought in Evolution
MAPI support for better Microsoft Exchange integration. Avl
made sure that the new gobject introspection repository ports
were nicely compartmentalized so that large dependencies aren't
brought in wholesale.</p>
<p>But, every GNOME team member (ahze, avl, bland, kwm, mezz,
and myself) contributed to this release.</p>
<p>Other major improvements include an updated HAL with better
volume probing code, ufsid integration, and support for volume
names containing spaces (big thanks to J.R. Oldroyd); a new
WebKit; updated AbiWord; an updated Gimp; and a preview of the
new GNOME Shell project (thanks to Pawel Worach).</p>
<p>The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like to that the following
additional contributors to this release whose patches and
testing really helped make it a success:</p>
Andrius Morkunas
<br />
Dominique Goncalves
<br />
Eric L. Chen
<br />
J.R. Oldroyd

Yasuda Keisuke
<br />
Rui Paulo

Martin Wilke
<br />
(and an extra shout out to miwi and pav for the pointyhat runs)
<br />
<p>We would like to send this release out to Alexander Loginov
(avl) in hopes that he feels better soon.</p>
