[14 September 2008 by Stephan Arts, Jannis Pohlmann and Brian Tarricone]
Hello everybody,
After about 18 months of development, we are pleased to announce the release of Xfce 4.6 ALPHA, codename 'Pinkie'.
Xfce 4.6 is going to be the next major release of the Xfce desktop environment. The previous release was 4.4 with the last bugfix release being 4.4.2 released in December 2007.
The release schedule for Xfce 4.6 is available to the public on the wiki.
Xfce 4.6 comes with a lot of new components, some of them replacing old code and some of them being completely new. A preliminary ChangeLog for the alpha release can be found at this location
There is also a page which contains general information about the components of Xfce 4.6 and changes that are supposed to go into 4.6:

As this is a development-release, we do not claim it is perfect. Here is a list of issues we have already identified.

We hope you have a lot of fun trying out this new Xfce.If you find any issues, don't hesitate to check out bug tracking system and look for the bug, or submit a new report if your issues are not already mentioned.
