xfce4 (4.6.0.1) unstable; urgency=low Xfce 4.6 includes multiple changes which are not directly visible to the user but might cause problems in rare cases. Settings management have been moved from the old MCS Manager to the xfconf system. User settings will be migrated automatically at first Xfce 4.6 startup using the /usr/lib/xfce4/xfconf-migration/xfconf-migration-4.6.pl script contained in xfce4-utils. Once those settings have been migrated, the automatic run will be disabled but the script will stay (for future users). Menus are now managed using a dedicated library, used by various Xfce components (including xfdesktop4 and the menu panel plugin). This library tries to support the freedesktop.org specifications, but is not totally complete and thus lacks the support for some items, like . This renders useless the menu editor previously shipped with Xfce 4.4. Solutions for menu editing can be found at the following address: http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu Xfce 4.6 now use freedesktop.org compliant icon naming spec. Rodent theme (contained in xfce4-icon-theme) is not freedesktop.org compliant, so if you use it in Xfce (or GNOME, or KDE 4) it will miss some icons here and there. You should now switch to Tango (in tango-icon-theme) or another freedesktop.org compliant theme. As the upgrade is pretty invasive, it is recommended to quit Xfce before doing so, but it's not required and upgrades have been made from the desktop environment without problems. In that case, be sure to quit Xfce not long after the upgrade. -- Yves-Alexis Perez Thu, 02 Apr 2009 21:19:53 +0200 xfce4 (4.3.90.1-1) unstable; urgency=low This is the 4.4beta1 release of xfce. If you are running xfce at the time you do this upgrade please consider restarting very shortly afterwards. This is a major upgrade and as such you will lose some of your config - there is no sane way for us to avoid this. Notably the panel config will need to be changed. Also as this is a beta please consider reporting any bugs to upstream first or to both the BTS and upstream's bugzilla at http://bugzilla.xfce.org/ Also #xfce and #debian-xfce on irc.freenode.net can be useful resources. -- Simon Huggins Wed, 03 May 2006 17:37:50 +0100
