Xfce is een lichtgewicht desktopomgeving voor Unix en andere Unix-achtige platformen zoals Linux, Solaris en BSD. Het richt zich op aanbieden van een snelle desktopomgeving zonder af te doen aan visuele aspecten of gebruikersvriendelijkheid. De desktopomgeving maakt gebruik van de welbekende GTK+ 2-toolkit en Xfwm als window manager. De ontwikkelaars hebben de afgelopen dagen twee nieuwe versies de deur uitgedaan. In de stable-branch is versie 4.4.3 verschenen waarmee bugs uit de vorige stable-uitgave worden opgelost. In de unstable-branch is de tweede bètaversie van Xfce 4.6 verschenen waarmee men bugs oplost en nieuwe features toevoegt. De bijbehorende aankondigingen van deze twee uitgaven zien er als volgt uit:
Xfce 4.4.3 released
Just because we're gearing up to release 4.6.0, it doesn't mean we've forgotten the 4.4 branch. A bunch of bug fixes had accumulated since 4.4.2, so we have a new release for you.
As usual, the stable branch only contains bug fixes, and no new features. The list of changes from 4.4.2 is available here. Check out the downloads page for your closest mirror.
Xfce 4.6 Beta 2 (Hopper) released
The second Beta was delayed for 2 weeks, but it was worth it. Every feature we made a freeze-exception for has made it into this release. This means a lot of bugs have been fixed this time aswell:This are just a few changes everybody is likely to notice. A complete list of changes can be found at this location. Once again, the translators have done a great job on translating Xfce in their native language. We will probably see Xfce 4.6 be translated in more languages then ever before thanks to their hard work.
- The keyboard-shortcuts for xfwm4 can be configured again. (now with conflict handling)
- Session-management has been improved, apps will now be automatically restarted if they die unexpected
- It is now possible to set the desktop wallpaper from the thunar right-click menu
Getting excited? You can download Xfce 4.6 BETA-2 from here. We hope you have a lot of fun trying out this new Xfce. If you find any issues, don't hesitate to check out our bug tracking system and look for the bug, or submit a new report if your issues are not already mentioned.
