Just another Xfce 4.4 review
Another interesting review of Xfce 4.4.
Xfce 4.4 release candidate 2
Hopefully the last release candidate for 4.4.0…
Thunar 0.5.0 and libexo 0.3.1.12 rc2 releases
I just released Thunar-0.5.0rc2 and libexo-0.3.1.12rc2 as part of Xfce 4.4RC2, which will be released in a few hours. The separate tarballs are provided for users of Xfce 4.2.x that don’t want to upgrade yet, and users of other desktop environments. It is planned to be the last release candidate before the final release, so please help with testing so we can locate and elimate the leftover bugs for the final release.
You will need atleast libxfce4util 4.2.2, GTK+ 2.6.4, shared-mime-info 0.15 and desktop-file-utils 0.10 to build and run Thunar. In addition Gamin or FAM are highly recommended to enable file system monitoring in Thunar. For HAL support on Linux, the libhal-storage-devel package is required (0.5.0 or above). Furthermore if you want to use the trash panel applet, you will need the Xfce Panel 4.4BETA1 or above and D-Bus 0.34 or above. The README file contains a complete list of dependencies and optional packages.
The official announcement is available at: http://thunar.xfce.org/news.html#2006-11-05

Installation instructions and documentation are available at: http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/
Please report bugs to the Xfce Bug Tracker (product Thunar) at: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/</p>

Xfld 0.3 release
Unfortunately I have the flu and so I’m somewhat late with posting old news here… Anyway, Xfld 0.3 is finally available for download. This time it’s based on Xubuntu. And as usual it is the perfect LiveCD for nearly every use case. ;-)
