+ AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg graphics/dri graphics/libGL and related ports
+ AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The default xorg version has been switched on FreeBSD 10-STABLE and
+ FreeBSD 9-STABLE.
+
+ To upgrade graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports, it is
+ necessary to first remove the old versions of those ports.
+ No special upgrade procedure is needed for xorg ports but it is
+ necessary to recompile all xorg drivers (xf86-*) and other ports that
+ depend on the xserver version, including
+ emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Portrevisions have been bumped
+ where needed, but users of drivers not in the ports tree will need to
+ recompile those.
+
+ If it is important to stay on the old versions, it is possible to
+ specify WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf to get the old xorg
+ distribution.
+
+ For users in need of working console when using KMS drivers (intel and
+ radeon graphics cards) please use the new vt(9) console driver.
+ For more information, see https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics and
+ https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons .
+
+ To update:
+
+ # pkg_delete -f libGL-\* dri-\*
+ or
+ # pkg delete -f libGL dri
+ followed by
+ # portmaster graphics/dri graphics/libGL
+ or
+ # portupgrade graphics/dri graphics/libGL
+ and then
+ # portmaster -a
+ or
+ # portupgrade -a

+ AFFECTS: users of print/freetype2 textproc/libxml2 x11/pixman and
+ graphics/freeglut
+ AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org and gnome@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The library version of the above libraries has been brought in line
+ with what upstream expects. To do this all users of these ports need
+ to be rebuilt. Portrevisions have been bumped as a consequence.
+
+ # portmaster -r freetype2 -r libxml2 -r pixman -r freeglut
+ or
+ # portupgrade -rf freetype2 libxml2 pixman freeglut
