Release manager of the lightweight desktop environment XFCE, Simon Steinbeiss, published the planned schedule for the upcoming pre-releases and final release of XFCE version 4.14 in the project mailing list. The development team will follow the traditional version release model: three pre-releases will be posted first, followed by the final stable build. The schedule is as follows:
May 19: 4.14-pre1
June 30: 4.14-pre2
July 28: 4.14-pre3 (if not required, the 4.14-final will be presented on that day)
August 11: 4.14-final
If we believe the brief task plan for the 4.14 release, everything is already ready: the environment has been completely rewritten in GTK3, ensuring compatibility with old xfwm4 themes, rendering using GdkGC has been replaced with cairo, and XInput2 support has been added.
Those wishing to test the current builds can run xfce 4.14 from a docker container.Feedback is welcome!
