release can be found at http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.28/ . Officially, this is mostly a polishing release in preparation for GNOME 3.0 due in about a year. 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. But, every GNOME team member (ahze, avl, bland, kwm, mezz, and myself) contributed to this release. 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). 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: Andrius Morkunas Dominique Goncalves Eric L. Chen J.R. Oldroyd Joseph S. Atkinson Li Pawel Worach Romain Tartière Thomas Vogt Yasuda Keisuke Rui Paulo Martin Wilke (and an extra shout out to miwi and pav for pointyhat runs) We would like to send this release out to Alexander Loginov (avl) in hopes that he feels better soon.

Mounting Fuse File Systems with HAL ----------------------------------- $FreeBSD$ Hal supports mounting Fuse device-backed file systems (e.g. NTFS). To enable this feature, copy the included %%LOCALBASE%%/share/hal/mount-fuse script to /sbin. Make sure this script is executable. Edit the script, and change the FUSE_HELPER environment variable to the name of the executable which will actually mount the Fuse volume (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs-3g''). Finally, the script must be renamed to ``mount_FSNAME''. FSNAME is the name of the file system type (e.g. for NTFS, this is ``ntfs''). If there is already an executable in /sbin or /usr/sbin with this name, the existing executable must be renamed or deleted. As is stated in the examples above, overriding FreeBSD's existing NTFS support with Fuse's ntfs-3g is the most common use case for this. The ntfs-3g Fuse driver uses different mount options than FreeBSD's included mount_ntfs. GNOME transparently supports switching between ntfs and ntfs-3g. Simply edit the following GConf key in the GNOME Configuration Editor (i.e. gconf-editor): /system/storage/default_options/ntfs/fstype_override Set the value to ``ntfs-3g'', then add your desired ntfs-3g options to the following GConf key: /system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g/mount_options Other desktop systems may have similar options.
