First, try contacting the maintainer, dinoex@. It's possible that Dirk already has the update ready and waiting for 9.1-release. If not, he would probably be happy to have someone else provide a head start. While the formal freeze has not been in place for long, an informal freeze for a few ports has been in place for a while. The port maintainers of things like Gnome, which have potential for massive impact, have been holding off on major up-dates. graphics/png is pretty much on the same category. Once 9.1 is out and has had a bit of time to be sure that there are no major surprises, I expect a really massive churn in ports. This is fairly typical for new releases. -- R.
