Hi everyone, with xfdesktop having been ported to GIO, we are more or less ready for the long-awaited Xfce 4.8pre1 release. I had a quick chat with Nick and we've come to the conclusion that next Sunday (2010-11-07) would be a good day to push 4.8pre1 out to our users.
Fortunately, the independent development releases we've made in the past reduce the work required to do an Xfce collection release. So we'll have to do roll development releases for a few components only, such as Thunar and xfdesktop. I've updated the release schedule on: http://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.8/schedule For those who don't want to leave their mail reader, here's a quick overview over the new schedule. Updated schedule for Xfce 4.8 ============================= 2009-08-16 - 2009-08-30: Planning phase 2009-08-31 - 2009-09-13: Extended planning phase 2009-09-13: Dependency freeze 2009-08-31 - 2010-11-06: Development phase 2010-11-07 - 2011-01-16: Release phase 2010-11-07: Xfce 4.8pre1 release / Feature freeze 2010-12-05: Xfce 4.8pre2 release / String freeze 2011-01-02: Xfce 4.8pre3 release / Code freeze 2011-01-16: Xfce 4.8 final release As I've mentioned before, we'll start making development releases today, tomorrow and on Thursday. There will be a short code freeze from Friday to Sunday so that no commits will interfere with the process of preparing the release. Important information for maintainers of core components ======================================================== * Make sure all features are ready. 4.8pre1 means feature freeze! * Please update your NEWS files. * Prepare and push new development releases for your components before Friday if you want recent changes to be part of Xfce 4.8pre1. We will pick the latest development release of each component for inclusion in the collection release. Cheers, Jannis
