Hello everybody,
We are one month since the release of Xfce 4.6 ALPHA. And now it's time to
release the first BETA, codename 'Fuzzy'.
A *lot* of bugs have been fixed in this release, a few highlights:
- Xfwm4 can now detect if a program is unresponsive. It will show a
dialog to let the user kill it.
- Xfce4-session will start up significantly faster by using parallel startup..
- It is possible to configure the keyboard-layout
- Toggling event-sounds with libcanberra + gtk 2.14 is now possible
(meaning: you can turn them off).
And lets not forget the translations, thanks to them Xfce 4.6.0 will
be available to a lot of people in their native language.
A complete list of changes can be found at this location[0].
Ofcourse, this is still a beta. This means that not everything is
working perfectly now.
A list of known issues can be found here[1]
Getting excited? You can download Xfce 4.6 BETA-1 from here[2].
We hope you have a lot of fun trying out this new Xfce.
If you find any issues, don't hesitate to check out bugzilla
and look for the bug, or submit a new report if your issues are not
already mentioned.
Kind regards,
The Xfce development team
