“After more than two years of development, Xfce 4.6.0 has just been released! Xfce 4.6 features a new configuration backend, a new settings manager, a brand new session manager and sound mixer as well as several huge improvements of its core components.”

Xfce 4.6 is definitely rocking and I’m very happy with it! There are a number of significant improvements and enhancements that make the Xfce desktop a real pleasure to use.

A lot of folks have been asking if Xfce 4.6 will be in Jaunty. I’m happy to say that it already is (or release candidate 1 anyhow, the actual 4.6.0 should hit the archive soon) and I’m really looking forward to spending the next few short months until the relase of Jaunty to try and polish Xubuntu 9.04 as much as possible. Alas, work is keeping me extremly busy but excitingly Xubuntu has been incredibly lucky to welcome a number of new contributors this release cycle that are reallly making a difference.

A few groups of people I’d like to shout out kudos to include the Xfce Development Team, the Debian Xfce Team, members of the Xubuntu team and my fellow Xubuntu contributors.

I’m ready to rocky and roll for Jaunty with Xfce 4.6. Are you?
