Xfce is a free software desktop environment for Unix and + Unix-like platforms, such as &os;. It aims to be fast and + lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to + use.

+ +

This quarter was an exciting time for the Xfce Team. We + imported the Xfce desktop environment 4.12 into the ports + tree, after more than two years of development.

+ +

Overall, we have updated the following ports:

+ +
    +
  • Xfce core (4.12)
    • +
  • audio/xfce4-mpc-plugin (0.4.5)
    • +
  • deskutils/xfce4-tumbler (0.1.31
    • +
  • deskutils/xfce4-xkb-plugin (0.7.1)
    • +
  • editors/mousepad (0.4.0)
    • +
  • graphics/ristretto (0.8.0)
    • +
  • multimedia/xfce4-parole (0.8.0)
    • +

  • sysutils/xfce4-diskperf-plugin (2.5.5)
    • +
  • sysutils/xfce4-fsguard-plugin (1.0.2)
    • +
  • sysutils/xfce4-power-manager (1.4.4)
    • +

    • +
  • x11-fm/thunar (1.6.6)
    • +
  • x11-themes/gtk-xfce-engine (3.2.0)
    • +
+ +

At the same time we switched to the USES framework, and a new + plugin has been added, called + audio/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin.

+ +

We also follow the unstable releases (available in our + experimental repository) of:

+ +
    +
  • x11/xfce4-dashboard (0.3.91)
    • +
  • x11/xfce4-notes-plugin (1.8.0 beta)
    • +
+ +

The following documentation patches are ready:

+
    +
  • PR197878, + Update Xfce section in Porter's Handbook
    • +
  • D1305, FAQ
    • +
+ + + + +

Work on support for Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) in + multimedia/xfce4-parole.

+ + + +

Add a new property (through xfconf-query) in order to + allow users to change the greyscale value of quicklaunch + icons in x11/xfce4-dashboard (this feature is only available + in the unstable release).
