== Summary == Xfce desktop environment has version 4.13.x which is currently available in Fedora. Significant work has been completed to migrate the DE to GTK-3 completely. The obvious benefit to this migration is the use of a modern and actively maintained toolkit. Xfce 4.14 is a stable release with proven components, provide features users. This change proposal is submitted to sync fedora packages with the latest upstream releases. == Owners == * Name: [[User:nonamedotc| Mukundan Ragavan]] * Email: nonamed...@fedoraproject.org * Name: [[User:kevin| Kevin Fenzi]] * Email: ke...@scrye.com * Name: [[User:gerd| Gerd Pokorra]] * Email: g...@fedoraproject.org == Detailed Description == This change migrates Xfce desktop environment (DE) to the latest version provided by upstream developers. This is a near complete GTK-3 migration of the DE. == Benefit to Fedora == Other GTK-based DEs such as cinnamon and MATE have already migrated to using GTK-3 libraries. This change proposes to migrate the popular Xfce DE to the latest GTK-3 based versions upstream developers have released. This change would result in fewer packages depending on the older GTK-2 libraries and move Xfce to use a modern toolkit. == Scope == * Proposal owners: ** Update core xfce packages to 4.14 ** Rebuild plugins once core packages are build * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) == User Experience == * A fresh install should have fully functional Xfce DE * Upgrade from Fedora 30 or older should show no visible changes to the end users. ** GTK-3 applications will be better integrated No special configuration or hardware needed. == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Release Notes == Fedora 31 ships with Xfce 4.14. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org
