Xfce 4.20 represents the most recent release of the Xfce desktop environment, developed over a span of two years. The primary objective was to prepare the codebase for Wayland, enabling the majority of components to operate on Wayland windowing while maintaining support for X11 windowing. This was accomplished by abstracting any X11/Wayland windowing-specific calls and utilising Wayland/Wlroots protocols. A new library, "libxfce4windowing," was introduced during this process.
Thunar 4.18.x brings a range of enhancements, featuring a View Switcher, an upgraded hamburger toolbar button, and additional tab and window options. Window decorations are now accessible, and the status bar now displays the count of hidden files. The xfce4-appfinder now enables users to navigate the application list using the Ctrl+N and Ctrl+P keys, and the panel has been enhanced to support folder expansion.
Xfce 4.20 pre2 has been released, encompassing all core components of Xfce. The pre-release has undergone refinement and enhancement, and early adopters are encouraged to participate in testing prior to the final release on December 15. The tarballs required for the build process are available for download.
