+ <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>After a period of not much activity, this quarter we
+ started a little experiment in how we merge ports from the
+ development repo to the &os; Ports Collection. Instead of
+ merging everything in one big commit, we have been updating
+ the GNOME ports one at a time or in small groups. For
+ example, the GTK+ stack and the Evolution Suite were updated
+ as groups, and all the gnome-games were done in one commit.
+ It might be a bit more work preparing and testing the
+ updates, but on the plus side, it easy to keep track of what
+ is going on, and allows us to pay attention to the details.
+ And it should be easier to commit smaller changes.</p>
+
+ <p>This quarter started with the update of GTK+ 3 to 3.22.15,
+ and the underlying libraries to their latest stable
+ versions. After the GTK+ update, work started on getting
+ newer versions of other GNOME applications updated.</p>
+
+ <p>The <tt>webkit2-gtk3</tt> port was first updated to the
+ 2.14 series and later to 2.16.3, which is the latest stable
+ version. This step was needed because 2.16 couldn't be
+ built on &os; 10.3 without some required framework
+ changes.</p>
+
+ <p><tt>harfbuzz-icu</tt> was split off from the main
+ <tt>harfbuzz</tt> port. This drops the heavy <tt>icu</tt>
+ dependency from the main <tt>harfbuzz</tt> port.</p>
+
+ <p>A longstanding GLib/<tt>gio</tt> bug was fixed that had
+ previously caused crashes of <tt>gnome-shell</tt> and other
+ applications when <tt>share/applications</tt> was modified,
+ as happens on <tt>pkg install</tt> or
+ <tt>deinstall</tt>.</p>
+
+ <p>Many of these updates are based on work previous.y done in
+ the Gnome development branch by Ruslan Makhmatkhanov, Gustau
+ Perez and Koop Mast.</p>
+ </body>
+
+ <help>
+ <task>Porting of Mutter/Gnome-shell/GDM 3.24 is complete.
+ Unfortunately, GDM is blocking the update because of a
+ "handoff" bug to the session after login.</task>
+
+ <task>Fix the control-center printer sub menu. As a
+ workaround, <tt>system-config-printer</tt> can be used to
+ configure printers.</task>
+
+ <task>MATE 1.18 is being QA tested and should arrive in early
+ July.</task>
