Zo'n drie maanden na het uitkomen van versie 4.4 van Xfce is nu de eerste update uitgekomen. Xfce is een lichtgewicht desktopomgeving voor Unix-achtige besturingssystemen en richt zich op snelheid, zonder af te doen aan de visuele aspecten of gebruikersvriendelijkheid. In versie 4.4 zijn vele veranderingen doorgevoerd, waaronder ondersteuning voor icons op de desktop, is er een nieuwe bestandsmanager met de naam Thunar, en zijn er diverse verbeteringen aan de Window Manager Xfwm4 doorgevoerd. Meer informatie over de vernieuwingen in versie 4.4 is in deze virtuele rondleiding te vinden. In versie 4.4.1 treffen we voornamelijk bugfixes aan en zijn verschillende vertalingen verder afgemaakt.
