Hi there fellow PLUGgers, For those of you not on the Xfce announcement list, and are interested, here are two messages from the author of Xfce, Olivier Fourdan, about the release of the latest version of Xfce, Xfce 3.8.0. --> Jijo PS- looks exciting!!! Hehehe. :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 21:55:03 +0200 From: Olivier Fourdan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Xfce 3.8.0 is out. Dear friends, Xfce 3.8.0 is now released, and available for download from xfce web site (ie http://www.xfce.org) or from Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=19869) Xfce 3.8.0 took more than 3 month of developpment (which is quite a lot for Xfce, since I'm usually following a faster release schedule), but deep changes have been made : - It's faster : Xfwm has been optimized to achive better performance - It's ligher : Xfwm uses approx. 300Kb less memory - It features new tools : Xfsamba, a SMB browser developped by Edscott. - New functionalities have been added to existing tools : Xfclock now supports daily notes, xfwm supports themes engines (see http://www.xfce.org/snapshots.html#TOP for screen captures ot the 3 different themes) and layers (mandatory to make full use of Nautilus, the new GNOME filemanager from Ximian), etc. - And bug fixes : Quite a few small annoying bugs have been fixed, making Xfce more enjoyable to use. Enjoy, Olivier.

Xfce 3.8.0 now places all its files in $HOME/.xfce/* so running xfce_upgrade is mandatory. Cheers, Olivier. -- XFce is a lightweight desktop environment for various *NIX systems.
