4.13.0
======
- Port to Gtk3:
The port is the result of the hard work Nick, Peter, Andrzejr, Simon and
many others that helped with testing, patches and translations.
- Features:
- Support for the "primary" monitor option in RandR
- Gtk2 plugins are still supported and work almost completely fine
(see regressions below)
- Deprecations:
- xfce_panel_image is deprecated, instead plugins shall use GtkImage and
xfce_panel_plugin_get_icon_size which introduces defined icon size-steps
to avoid fuzzy icons
- Known regressions:
- The panel is not visually focused by default (fixed in Xfwm4>=4.12.4)
- Moving panel plugins via drag and drop on the panel directly via the plugins
context menu action "Move" is currently broken (works fine in preferences dialog)
- Small regression with intelligent hiding (when opening a menu, the panel
hides and comes back immediately while it should just remain visible)
- Enter/leave opacity does not work for Gtk2 plugins
- Not all panel settings may be kept as the configuration is not 100% backward
compatible (e.g. we're using GdkRGBA instead of GdkColor for the backgorund)
- Known todos:
- Fix all bugs/regressions
- Remove more/all Gtk+ deprecations
(lots of warnings when compiling currently)
- Lots of translations updates
4.12.1
======
- Long overdue maintenance release.
- Translation updates.
- Clock: fixed compiler warnings.
- Preferences: support for xfpanel-switch (if installed).
- DirectoryMenu: fixed bugs #10331 and #11742
- Tasklist: fixed background color issue.
- ApplicationsMenu: fixed uninitialized variable.
- make distcheck fix/workaround.

This is based on a huge amount of work by the NetBSDfr team and Youri Mouton,
who takes over as MAINTAINER, and has been tested by Youri on a large number
of platforms prior to commit. A massive thanks to them. Any issues with the
import are mine alone as the committer-by-proxy.
- Properly set orientation of tasklist handler.
- Fix launcher with 'Run in Terminal'.
- Fix typo preventing build on older gtk versions.
- Don't send -r to session restart command.
- Add dist-hook: all to the API docs Makefile.am as well.
- Add dist-hook: all to the libxfce4panel/ Makefile.am.
- Add option to tasklist to force a fixed width.
- Get the time the same as orange does.
- Better check for the lcd resize when the number of hour digits changes.
- Use g_timeout_add_seconds when available for the clock timeout.
- Resync tooltip and clock timeout when they are out of sync.

- Use Git in the build files and drop unneeded po files.
- Use g_markup_printf_escaped in the launcher tooltip.
- A whole bunch of translations updated

lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so

one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la

names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
As usual, this is a maintenance release, aimed at bug-fixing;
