Xfce 4.20 Aiming For Release In December

([Desktop] 71 Minutes Ago Xfce 4.20)


A roadmap/schedule has been published for the lightweight Xfce 4.20 desktop. If all goes well this next iteration of the Xfce desktop will be out before Christmas.

The Xfce 4.20 schedule published yesterday puts the Xfce 4.20 final release plan to occur on 15 December -- two years to the day after the [1]Xfce 4.18 release . To make the Xfce 4.20 release date, the feature and string freeze with Xfce 4.20pre1 release is aiming for 1 November, a second pre-release for the 1st of December, and then hopefully release on 15 December. But there is the possibility of a third pre-release being warranted in which case the Xfce 4.20 release date would slip to 29 December.

The Xfce 4.20 schedule can be found on [2]the Xfce.org Wiki . Expect Xfce 4.20 to offer up more Wayland support improvements, bug fixes, translation updates, and other modernization improvements. The developers have been [3]hoping that Xfce 4.20 will feature usable Wayland support while retaining X11 compatibility.

A fellow bought a new car, a Nissan, and was quite happy with his purchase.
He was something of an animist, however, and felt that the car really ought
to have a name. This presented a problem, as he was not sure if the name
should be masculine or feminine.
After considerable thought, he settled on an naming the car either
Belchazar or Beaumadine, but remained in a quandry about the final choice.
"Is a Nissan male or female?" he began asking his friends. Most of
them looked at him peculiarly, mumbled things about urgent appointments, and
went on their way rather quickly.
He finally broached the question to a lady he knew who held a black
belt in judo. She thought for a moment and answered "Feminine."
The swiftness of her response puzzled him. "You're sure of that?" he
asked.
"Certainly," she replied. "They wouldn't sell very well if they were
masculine."
"Unhhh... Well, why not?"
"Because people want a car with a reputation for going when you want
it to. And, if Nissan's are female, it's like they say... `Each Nissan, she
go!'"
