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.
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
- 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.
- Remove the hour interval from the clock, minutes are good enough.
- 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
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
Changes since 4.4.2:
x11/xfce4-panel:
* Quite a bit code changed in the dnd code. Mostly to fix a segfault
in FreeBSD-amd64, but more problems were discovered and a lot of
code was simplified.
* Don't respond the uri drags, we don't use it and it only causes
problems like hiding the panel when a file was dragged over the
panel (Bug #3815).
* Fix crash with xrandr 1.2 (Bug #3620)
x11/xfce4-desktop:
* Make menu panel plugin honor CustomizeDesktopMenu kiosk setting
(Bug #1026).
* Fix incorrect initial desktop font size when setting custom font
size if a custom font was never set before (Bug #3957).
wm/xfce4-wm:
* Fix automaximize on move
* Remove trailing \0 in UTF-8 strings, that causes libwnck to
rightfully complain that NET_WM_NAME contains invalid UTF-8
* Exit on SelectionClear event so that xfwm4 exits even with WM who
do not send a ClientMessage event such as Openbox (Bug #2374)
* Backport overlay and compositor support from trunk (Bug #3849)
* Filter out grab/ungrab events so we don't end up redrawing the
frame twice
* Set monitor when positionning menu (Bug #4162)
* Reduce flickering during resize (Bug #4283)
* Fix NET_WM_STATE claiming maximization vertical and horizontal even
if only horizontal of vertical is actually set (Should fix Bug #3969)
* Loosen the rule that prevents an application from iconifying itself
when skip_taskbar is set (Bug #4434)
* Rework visual depth selection of the frame window (Bug #4452)
* Add support for NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW
* Take gravity bit into account in configure resize only requests to
comply with standard (Bug #3634)
* Add client windows to save set to avoid loosing all windows in case
of crash
* Use guint32 instead of Time internally to avoid potential issues in
64bits
* Add a "--replace" command line option to replace ICCCM2 compliant
window managers (Bug #3731)

A new bug fix release of Xfce 4.2 is available. This release is supposed to
be the last release for the 4.2 branch. It includes several fixes ported from
the current developpment branch. This release should not be confused with the
upcoming Xfce 4.4 release [1], it's a bug fix release of the previous stable
branch.
[1] Xfce 4.4.0 is already in pkgsrc-wip.
