Dear Xfce community, I am happy to announce the release of Xfce4.18 pre2.
This platform pre-release consists of the Xfce core components and will be followed by the final Xfce4.18 release soon. We fixed some quirks which were found in Xfce4.18 pre1, did some further polishing and the result is now released as Xfce4.18 pre2.
Early adopters are invited to give it a try and to check for compatibility before the final release, which is planned for 15. December.
Xfce4.18 pre2 includes all Xfce core components. The tarballs for building it can be found here:
Though, you might prefer to wait for distribution specific development packages.
It is a pleasure for me to present you the outcome of our Xfce4.18 wallpaper contest, which received numerous nice wallpaper submissions.
The winner wallpaper, which will be the new Xfce4.18 default wallpaper, was brought to you by Katerina Shkel:
The second and third place both go to Denis Kuzminok. As well these wallpapers will be shipped within Xfce:

A detailed sum up of all new features in Xfce4.18 is planned for the final release, so stay tuned!
Best regards,
The Xfce development team
