The MacPorts team is pleased to announce the release of MacPorts v1.5.
A major achievement in this release is the completion of code and documentation changes to reflect the transition in project name from DarwinPorts to MacPorts. This results in a slightly modified installation layout.
In addition to that, there are a sizable number of bug fixes and feature enhancements.
Thanks to all project members who contributed to this release, and especially to Juan Manuel Palacios, who served as release manager. Bugs may be filed at the MacPorts bug reports page.
We plan to release a v1.4.1 within weeks with some ongoing enhancements. Please note that our official plan is to build disk images only for 1.x.0 releases, and let subsequent point releases selfupdate from there. Note also that if you have a previous release of MacPorts installed, the easiest path to MacPorts 1.4.0 is simply “sudo port selfupdate”.

MacPorts today filed an application with Google for Summer of Code 2007. Summer of Code is a google-sponsored program under which students work over the summer on an open source project, gaining valuable experience while also contributing important effort to open source projects.
We’ll know by March 14 whether our application has been accepted. We’ve set up a tracking page at SummerOfCode with more information and a list of potential tasks.
Please join us in sending good vibes to google to get our application approved so that we can help students learn while enhancing MacPorts.

We now have a Google Map (again) with the locations of our developers. Developers that are not yet registered on the map yet may mail to mww or - if they have commit bit - add their location themselves to the xml-marker file.
