Xfce is a free software desktop environment for Unix and + Unix-like platforms including FreeBSD. It aims to be fast and + lightweight while still being visually appealing and easy to + use.

+ +

There were no major updates in the ports tree except cosmetic + changes (fix pkg-plist, switch to USES= libtool, and so + on).

+ +

Still, the Xfce team continues to keep each piece of the Xfce + Desktop up to date. That is why we are working on the next + stable release (no date scheduled).

+ +

Major changes will be:

+ +

Switch to USES
Support of GTK2 (default toolkits) and GTK3 + (optional)
GNOME like default icons theme
Enhance documentation (handbooks, FAQ)

+ +

Below is a list of current ports in the devel repository (see + link).
