After being dormant since 2013, libproxy development picked up some steam at
the end of last year, and the project moved from Google Code to GitHub,
where its releases are also being hosted. A summary of changes between 0.4.6
and 0.4.12 can be found here:
https://github.com/libproxy/libproxy/blob/0.4.12/NEWS
The libproxy ports themselves have undergone several changes too:
* net/libproxy
- Drop a lot of patches that are no longer necessary.
- Add a few patches that I have sent upstream, and add some context to the
0.4.6 patches that are still required.
- Explicitly disable a few build options (.NET bindings, for example).
- Switch to an out-of-source CMake build (also applies to the slave
ports).
- Drop the unnecessary post-install target, likely added before pkg and
our ports system got smart enough to remove directories when needed.
* net/libproxy-gnome
- Explicitly add dependency on devel/glib20 as the code links against
GObject.
- Make it clear that this plug-in targets GNOME2 desktops and uses GConf
to read proxy settings.
* net/libproxy-gnome3
- New port. Similar to libproxy-gnome, but targets GNOME3/Mate and reads
proxy settings via GSettings instead. libproxy-gnome retained its name
to avoid confusing users and requiring instructions in UPDATING.
* net/libproxy-kde
- The KDE configuration plug-in has been rewritten upstream and no longer
links against Qt or any KDE libraries. Instead, it just has a run-time
dependency on either kreadconfig (from KDE4) or kreadconfig5 (from KDE
Frameworks 5).
* net/libproxy-mozjs
- Resurrect the port; the plug-in has been rewritten and now uses
lang/spidermonkey185 to parse the JavaScript in .pac files.
* net/libproxy-webkit
- Switch to depending www/webkit-gtk3 instead of www/webkit-gtk2. In
practice, there is no huge difference since libproxy only uses the
JavaScriptCore layer (which is toolkit-independent) to parse .pac files.
Finally, thanks to mat@ for answering some questions about libproxy-perl and
which Perl patches still needed to be retained or rewritten.
Approved by: gnome (kwm)
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.
