Xfce 4.6 BETA-1 ('Fuzzy') released
[15 October 2008 by Stephan Arts]
Hello everybody,
We are one month since the release of Xfce 4.6 ALPHA. And now it's time to release the first BETA, codename 'Fuzzy'.
A lot of bugs have been fixed in this release; a few highlights:
- Xfwm4 can now detect if a program is unresponsive. It will show a dialog to let the user kill it.
- Xfce4-session will start up significantly faster by starting apps in parallel where possible.
- It is possible to configure the keyboard layout.
- Toggling event-sounds with libcanberra + gtk 2.14 is now possible (meaning: you can turn them off).
And lets not forget the translations, thanks to them Xfce 4.6.0 will be available to a lot of people in their native language.
Of course, this is still a beta. This means that not everything is working perfectly yet.
A list of known issues can be found here.
