+ <body>
+ <p>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. The &os; Xfce Team has kept most of Xfce ports up-to-date,
+ while fixed many issues along the way in this quarter.</p>
+
+ <p>Currently, the following components with the following versions
+ are available:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Applications:</li>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Orage (4.10.0)</li>
+ <li>Midori (0.5.6)</li>
+ <li>xfce4-terminal (0.6.3)</li>
+ <li>xfce4-parole (0.5.3, 0.5.4)</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <li>Panel plugins:</li>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin (1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.3.0)</li>
+ <li>xfce4-mailwatch-plugin (1.2.0)</li>
+ <li>xfce4-wmdock-plugin (0.6.0)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>We helped Midori's upstream to switch from Waf (Python script)
+ to CMake. Xfce now also supports Gtk2, Gtk3, and the new
+ WebKitGtk API, available from the 2.x branch, not present in our
+ ports tree at the moment, though. Most of the ports now use
+ stage directories, only some plugins left to convert.</p>
+
+ <p>We also removed obsolete ports:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><tt>x11-themes/lila-xfwm4</tt> (Xfwm4 theme)</li>
+ <li><tt>multimedia/xfce4-media</tt> (multimedia player)</li>
+ <li><tt>net-im/xfce4-messenger-plugin</tt></li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Besides, we followed the development of the Xfce core
+ components and Parole closely. See the links for documentation
+ on how to upgrade those libraries.</p>
