Hi,
I've packaged the current unstable development releases of Xfce
packages. The packages are available in the X11:xfce:Next project
on OBS, the project is self-contained and can be added on top of
openSUSE 13.1 or Factory.
If you want to try it out, just run
zypper ar --refresh obs://X11:xfce:Next/openSUSE_(13.1|Factory) X11-xfce-Next
zypper dup
Don't do this on a production machine though, the updated
packages are in a pre-Beta/RC stage and the code is still under
development. Note that there is no fixed release date for Xfce
4.12, it will be released depending on when the components are
considered ready and the developers have time. libxfce4ui and
xfce4-panel 4.11 support GTK 3 so it is possible to write
GTK 3-based Xfce applications and panel plugins, however a
migration of the core components to GTK 3 is not planned for Xfce
4.12.
The X11:xfce:Next project contains the following updates:
* libgarcon 0.3.0
* libxfce4ui 4.11.1
* libxfce4util 4.11.0
* parole 0.6.1
* xfce4-appfinder 4.11.0
* xfce4-dev-tools 4.11.0
* xfce4-mixer 4.11.0
* xfce4-panel 4.11.0
* xfce4-session 4.11.0
* xfce4-settings 4.11.2
* xfdesktop 4.11.6
For your convenience a detailed changelog for the above packages
is attached to this mail.
The obsolete libxfcegui4 library does not build against the new
libxfce4ui and libxfce4util so it has been removed together with
the following packages which still depend on it and are
unmaintained upstream:
* xfce4-panel-plugin-radio
* xfce4-panel-plugin-quicklauncher
* xfce4-panel-plugin-cellmodem
The following packages are still maintained but have not been
completely ported to libxfce4ui yet and are thus currently
broken:
* xfce4-panel-plugin-verve
* xfce4-panel-plugin-notes
