<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>

<help>
<task>Fix Midori's build on DragonFly, through DPorts.</task>
<task>Fix build of the Granite framework (it is an extension to
Gtk and Midori uses it) on &os;&nbsp;10 and <tt>head</tt>.
Those are mostly LLVM failures.</task>
<task>Add support for Berkeley DB 5 and higher to Orage.</task>
