As others have said: nope. ;) 

In general we don't tend to upgrade major Xfce versions within the life
of a release, they just keep the one they started with.

As a side note you may want to upgrade very soon, Fedora 21 goes end of
life on december 1st (monday).

Is 4.12 ever going to be in the official 21 repositories ?

F21's days are numbered, so "official 21 repositories" will very soon
have no meaning.

I have no official knowledge, but end of life on F21 is about a week
away, so I would say no.

xfce in 21

[Frank McCormick]

I am still running Fedora 21 with various desktops including XFCE.

Because of various bugs in the version I am running
I wanted to update to 4.12 -- 4.10 is the current
Fedora 21 version.

A user on the XFCE forum pointed me to a user
repository on Fedora which has 4.12...and this morning
I updated without a problem.

Is 4.12 ever going to be in the official 21 repositories ?

Thanks

F 21 reaches it's official EOL on December 1, 2015, so I find it highly 
unlikely.

mailto links under google-chrome in XFCE (Fedora 21)

[Frank McCormick]

Does anyone know how to setup Google-Chromes handling of mailto links
in webpages ?

I have run the xfce default handlier application, which has
Google-Chrome as my preferred webbrowser and Thunderbird
as my mail reader.

Everytime I click a mailto link either nothing happens, or I get the 
message failed to run MailReader (input/output error)...not much

help.

I have checked the mimelist and it has set links up this way:

[Default Applications]
text/html=userapp-google-chrome-AGO0MX.desktop
x-scheme-handler/http=exo-web-browser.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=exo-web-browser.desktop
x-scheme-handler/about=exo-web-browser.desktop
x-scheme-handler/mailto=exo-mail-reader.desktop
application/x-extension-eml=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop


the xfce4.helpers file contains this:

MailReader=thunderbird
TerminalEmulator=xfce4-terminal
WebBrowser=google-chrome
FileManager=Thunar

There is a link in /usr/bin to thunderbird.

In the mime list the x-scheme-handlers for mailto
is exo-mail-reader.desktop, which runs MailReader

I don't understand any of this---apparently xfce changed
the way these things are handled in the latest release.

Can someone clear away the fog ?

Thanks
