Xfce is a free software desktop environment for Unix and + Unix-like platforms, such as FreeBSD. It aims to be fast and + lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use.

+ +

During this quarter, the team has kept up-to-date the following + applications:

+ +

misc/xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.5
science/xfce4-equake-plugin 1.3.6
sysutils/xfce4-netload-plugin 1.2.4
sysutils/xfce4-systemload-plugin 1.1.2
www/midori 0.5.9
x11/xfce4-taskmanager 1.1.0
x11/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin 1.4.2
x11-wm/xfce4-desktop 4.10.3

+ +

Two new ports have also been added (taken from our repository):

+ +

deskutils/xfce4-volumed-pulse
x11/xfce4-dashboard

+ +

Moreover, we are working on the next stable release, below list + of ports updated:

+ +

sysutils/xfce4-power-manager 1.4.2
x11/xfce4-dashboard 0.3.4
x11-wm/xfce4-session 4.11.1

+ +

We sent some patches to upstream.

+ +

bug #11104, to keep 'wallpaper settings' in Ristretto with xfdesktop >= 4.11
bug #11249, add 'Hidden' option in desktop item editor (refused)
bug #11413, to use sysctl(3) and acpi_video(4) for backlight support

+ +

A FAQ is being written D1305.

+ + + + +

Find workaround when acpi_video(4) is not functional + (panel crashes); OpenBSD seems to have same problem.

+ + +

Cleanup patch in order to add new panel plugin in ports + tree.

+ + +

Continue to work on documentation, especially the Porter's + handbook.
