After two years of hard work, the Xfce development team had the pleasure of announcing a few minutes ago, February 28, the immediate and general availability of the highly anticipated Xfce 4.12 desktop environment for GNU/Linux distributions. This is a major release of the Xfce desktop environment, as it introduces a great number of new features, updated components, as well as many other attractive improvements. It is considered an update to the Xfce 4.10 desktop environment.
