Fwd: ANNOUNCE: Xfce 4.14pre1 released

[Mukundan Ragavan]

In case Fedora xfce users are not aware, 4.14pre1 was officially
released today.

In Fedora 30 testing repositories, you can find updates available for
almost all of these packages (exo is already in stable).

I will keep these packages in testing for an extended period (autopush
is disabled). Please test and add karma on bodhi. Please file bug
reports as needed - either upstream or on fedora/RH bugzilla.

Thanks,
Mukundan.

Hi Mukundan,

What is the dnf command line to install it?

Many thanks,

sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing *xf* thunar* tumbler
exo garcon

should be better/safer (avoids confusion by local files)

I have run the updates for two weeks now and nothing went wrong. I
will add positive karma once I find all the updates in bodhi. I used
Miro/Dan's command to install them all since they are unfortunately
not part of a single update/advisory.

Looking forward to 4.14!

Thank you.

This was intentional on my part. Since xfce components are modular, I
wanted to update them independently if the need arose. Made sense to me. :)

I get it, I wasn't complaining, and I'm glad to see progress in this area.

While researching the updates I also came across one for
xfce4-screensaver. All the problems I reported [1] appear to be fixed,
although I did not keep track of them and don't know which update of
what fixed "my" bugs. To be honest, despite the early bugs
xfce4-screensaver has mostly stayed out of my way and is still a net
benefit over xscreensaver, at least as far as I can tell.

I feel sorry for the people who got bit hard by the XFCE 4.13 update,
while I have myself run into a couple bugs, none of them were show
stoppers. I have yet to witness those bugs with 4.14pre1 so I hope it
will make things better for everyone. From my limited experience with
XFCE (again, it mostly stays out of my way) I would indeed push all
those updates.

I believe these packages have lived in testing repo long enough.

I will be pushing them to stable in the coming days unless someone
reports major issues.

Mukundan.

Hi Mukundan (and everyone else),

just as a heads up, in 2 weeks time we'll be releasing Xfce 4.14pre2, which
will contain only bugfixes on top of pre1. In short: if you're going for
pre1 now you should consider to immediately push pre2 when it's there to
get all the bugfixes.
Having said that, not all components may get new releases for pre2. We're
currently planning that here:
https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/xfce_4.14pre2

For pre1 I can at least mention one regression that we have already tackled
around the display settings not remembering the setup (without saving a
profile).

If you want to discuss these things more directly feel free to join
#xfce-dev on freenode.

Cheers
Simon

Thanks Simon. I plan to push pre2 to the testing repos as well.

What is the dnf command to install them?
