Hello!

We know, all FreeBSD users waits for new release of LireOffice.
And now it almost here.
But before land it to the ports, we want to inform community about some 
important changes to build options.

At first, GTK3 option is not more set by default and there are the reasons:
a) our gtk30 port and all needed gnome dependencies are dramatically outdated
b) LibreOffice64’s gtk3 visual content library is broken — missed critical 
buttons, dropdown menus, scrollbars
c) previously uses gtk2 vcl is dropped upstream since LibreOffice 6.4.0 is 
branched

Second, we decided to make QT5 VCL option is set by default to provide comfy 
visual style for every users. One small note — since upcoming Qt5-5.15 will 
drop binary support for FreeBSD 11.x due to outdated OpenSSL 1.0 in base, here 
is not reason to enable QT5 option on FreeBSD <12+ by default.

Release will be landed to the ports at this weekend.

Early access, as always, available at out WIP stage on GitHub:
https://github.com/lwhsu/freebsd-ports-libreoffice

Discussions, patches, proposals are welcome.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.
