====== What gnome@ did every quarter. ======

This page should summarize the work done by the GNOME on %%FreeBSD%% team by quarter to help prepare our bit for [[http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/status.html|FreeBSD's Quarterly Status Report]].

Each section doesn't need to be overly verbose, the idea is to make it easy to remember which major ports got updated, as well as other things worth mentioning in the report.

===== 2021Q1 (January - March) =====
  * Cinnamon 4.8 committed into ports, after much dogfooding since 4.0

===== 2019Q2 (April - June) =====

  * MATE Desktop Environment updated to 1.22.0.

===== 2017Q3 (July - September) =====
  * MATE 1.18 was committed to ports

===== 2017Q2 (April - June) =====

Updates:
  * GTK+ stack and c++ bindings updated to 3.22.12.
  * Split harfbuzz-icu into a new port, so harbuzz doesn't depend on icu anymore
  * Fix longstanding GLib/gio bug where gnome-shell & others crashed, when share/applications was touched. For example when pkg install or deinstall packages.
  * Updated webkit2-gtk3 to 2.16.2 and epiphany to 3.24.2.
  * Update assortment of ports to the latest stable version where possible, do a review to weed out obsolete dependancies etc. With exception of mutter/gnome-shell/gdm combination, due to interconnection of the ports in question and newer gdm version having unresolved issues.

===== 2016Q1 (January - March) =====

Updates:
  * MATE Desktop Environment updated to 1.12.0.
  * bsd.gnome.mk and bsd.mate.mk converted to USES.
  * First GNOME website updates gone in.
  * GNOME Desktop Environment update to 3.18.0. missing in this update: gdm 3.18, c++ bindings, webkit2gtk 2.10.x.

===== 2015Q4 (Oktober - December) =====

Updates:
  * Work started on Cinnamon 2.8 and MATE 1.12.

===== 2015Q3 (July - September) =====

Updates:
  * MATE Desktop Environment updated to 1.10.0, and incremental updates.
  * GNOME Desktop Environment updated to 3.16.2, and incremental updates.
  * Porters handbook chapter about USE_GNOME and a list of its components (feedback welcome).
  * Small parts of the %%FreeBSD%%/Gnome website where updated.
  * GNOME 3.18 is ported, there are some quirks that needs to be debugged. Also we might hold back updates to 2 or so ports since they have a number of big changes we need more time to properly port.
