Xfce is approaching version 4.10 [Updated]

Yesterday, several packages belonging to the core of Xfce, which are nothing more than a previous version of those that we can install next month under the numbering 4.10.

Nick schermer published via Mailing List the changes and news of the following packages:

  • exo 0.7.2
  • Garcon 0.1.11
  • libxfce4ui 4.9.1
  • thunar 1.3.1
  • thunar-volman 0.7.0
  • tumbling 0.1.24
  • xfce4-appfinder 4.9.4
  • xfce4-powermanager-1.0.11
  • xfconf 4.9.0

Each of them with many corrections, so apparently we will have Xfce 4.10 no delay next April 16. Xfce still for a long time my Desktop Environment preferred, and with this release you will gain stability (and hopefully) in performance, although to be fair, I look forward to the version 4.12 which "supposedly" will be ported to gtk3.

Editorial: Xfce 4.10 the 28 April, Noel 16 as I said before.

    You just made me happy in April, I already want to see the new improvements. Thanks for the info.

  2.   They are Link said

    I use part of XFCE (Thunar is by far my favorite file browser) so I wait for the new versions ^^

    Thunar: With a newer version but still without tabs.

    In any case, they are not fooling me, that departure date will be moved again as they have done before. A shame, because really XFCE is what has saved me after the madness of Unity and Gnome-shell.

      Everything is to have a well finished product and without problems. If it takes you long to wait and in the end it's worth it, so be it.
      The Thunar tabs thing ... there has been a lot of talk about that, in the XFCE forums and they will not add it, not now or ever. As they say it would make the browser unnecessarily heavy, and they comment that when necessary two browsers can be opened (click the central button on the target folder, for example).
      Anyway, for color tastes 🙂

        Heavier a window with X open tabs than X open windows? No way! I don't eat that story!
        As they said here on this blog once: If eyelashes are so bad, why do EVERYONE have them? For example, can you imagine browsing the Internet again without tabs?
        Simply, the developers of Thunar (excellent software by the way) are stubborn about it and deaf to the clamor of the users.
        There is a File Manager called SpaceFM (I think I read it here too) that is evolving very well in this regard:
        http://spacefm.sourceforge.net/
        If Thunar does not put the batteries we will remember it when it is gone.

          I sincerely believe that the Thunar developers already have it in their heads not to put tabs on it: NEVER !! I share your criteria, it should consume the same 2 or more open windows, as the same number of tabs in one. Today I am only satisfied with having two panels.

    By the way, I seem to have seen Linus somewhere recently saying that he had gotten so tired of battling Gnome3 that he had migrated to XFCE.

  5.   Oscar said

    Elav, do you think it is possible that XFCE 4.10 has a chance to get into Debian testing before the freeze?

    1.    Rayonant said

      Well, I wonder if it will reach the final release of Xubuntu 12.04

      1.    giskard said

        I don `t believe. The dates do not give.

      2.    elav <° Linux said

        Nope. Why Xfce comes out on 28 and Xubuntu on 29 😀

    2.    elav <° Linux said

      See .. I think so, I say .. Does anyone know the exact date of Wheezy's freeze?

  6.   Nonamed said

    will thunar still not have an integrated search engine?

  7.   proper said

    I don't mind waiting 1 year if the result is a bug-free environment.

    About the launch ... ufff I'm already getting ready to compile and package, I just hope someone gets ahead of me and saves me the work xD

    What a pod, I have the same Courage problem, when installing LMDE or FEdora on my pc it detects an error in one of my disk, the strangest thing is that windows did not ... it made me a disaster .. it only goes up if I disconnect the disk that supposedly has an error .

    I don't want to disconnect that album because it is where all my things are….

      Do you have native SATA mode active in BIOS?

    2.    Oscar said

      I installed versions 15 and 16, to test them and it returns an error in the DD, the strange thing is that it is the only distribution that gives me that, and I have tried ArchLinux, Chakra, Linux Mint, Pardus and the one I use normally which is Debian and never had a problem.

      1.    hairosv said

        It's true, LMDE does not give me any kind of problem, only fedora gives me the DD problem ...

        uninstall LDME because they download them are slower than hell ... it took almost two days to update it, my connection is at 1024 kbps.

    3.    Courage said

      Mine was because I punched the computer

  9.   hairosv said

    well I have reviewed the Bios, the only thing I find that speaks of SATA is:
    Onchip SATA Channel [Enabled]
    Sata port1 —— Port4 [IDE]
    Sata Port5 —– Port6 [IDE]

    that's my configuration ……

    I'm also looking forward to xfce 4.10, it has recently become my favorite desktop manager.

    Greetings.

    Very good;

    Could anyone tell me any distro with good XFCE integration? I am delighted with Chakra, but wanted to put some xfce distro on a friend's older computer. In principle I don't like xubuntu too much (although I have tried it for some time now), lmde may install too many unnecessary things, and I don't feel like putting debian in it because it doesn't control much of linux. Any suggestion? Thanks a lot.

    1.    elav <° Linux said

      Well, you will not find an easier one than the ones you already mentioned, because distros with Xfce are usually somewhat complicated .. Look, try with dream linux.

      1.    Matthews said

        Ok thank you very much, I didn't know her so I'll take a look at her. How is Fedora doing with XFCE? It is a distro that I love, but with KDE it is bad, the same is better its integration with XFCE ...

        1.    elav <° Linux said

          Well I've never really tried Fedora with Xfce, but I guess the integration is pretty good. You would have to ask a user of Fedora here on the blog.

          1.    Matthews said

            Thank you very much for your help.

          2.    Mathews said

            Well, I have tried Dreamlinux, fedora xfce spin and in the end I have stayed with Sabayon with Xfce. I have been pleasantly surprised by this distro, and I like Xfce more every day. Thank you for your post-installation of sabayon.
