====== Xfce4-panel 4.10 Roadmap ======
That are a bunch of (mostly small) [[http://bugzilla.xfce.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced;resolution=---;target_milestone=Panel%204.10;product=Xfce4-panel|feature requests]] in bugzilla under the 4.10 milestone. Just some highlights here.

====== [FINISHED] Deskbar Mode ======
To make the panel more flexible in vertical mode and also horizontal, it will get 2 new properties: number of rows and a deskbar mode. The rows will give more control over multi button plugins like the window buttons and allows packing "small" plugins in columns.
Deskbar is a vertical panel with horizontal orientated plugins, this makes the panel much more efficient on large displays.

Work is done in the [[http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/log/?h=nick/desktop-mode|nick/deskbar]] branch and [[https://github.com/andrzej-r/xfce4-panel|Andrzej's Github branch]]

Completed: 100% \\

Difficulty: Moderate

====== [FINISHED] Merge actions and session plugins ======
There are a couple of plugins in Xfce that handle the session. The panel has the actions plugin, xfce4-session the xfsm-logout-plugin and there is the xfswitch-plugin. Since this is all very generic, it makes sense to put this in a single plugin to avoid confusion for users.
