 Xfdesktop hasn't changed all that much since 4.4 from the user's perspective, though many bugs have been fixed and small new features have been added.  The preferences dialog has been redesigned and is hopefully easier to use now.  The old menu system has been replaced with a newer, faster menu system (based on libxfce4menu), and the settings storage has been migrated from the old MCS settings system to the new Xfconf system. Xfdesktop hasn't changed all that much since 4.4 from the user's perspective, though many bugs have been fixed and small new features have been added.  The preferences dialog has been redesigned and is hopefully easier to use now.  The old menu system has been replaced with a newer, faster menu system (based on libxfce4menu), and the settings storage has been migrated from the old MCS settings system to the new Xfconf system.
