If everything goes as planned, the devel branch will be made feature complete and moved to master. There are still a couple of tasks that need to be completed before this happens.

Overall assignee: Nick

The panel code is more of less feature complete, but there are still a couple of bugs in it here and there. The Xfconf part needs to be redone since Brian implemented caching in xfconf, there is no default configuration and kiosk mode is missing (interface wise, duno about xfconf).

New API is complete, but still need some time to make old plugins compile.

Most of the plugins are working quite well, but obviously they still have a lost of bugs open. I need to dig through bugzilla to see which bugs are still valid or fixed in the devel branch. There is a resolved-4.8 flag to mark bugs that are fixed in the devel branch. See the outstanding items for each plugin below.

The launcher plugin is not very functional yet. The editing part needs to be handled by exo-desktop-item-edit, GIO for file monitoring and Garcon for the menu item stuff.

This still needs a lot of love. Most importantly grouping is not implemented yet. Lot to do here.

Most of it works, but there is an annoying bug that prevents existing notification icons to be embedded. The settings dialog is not hooked up yet and needs to be ported to GtkBuilder.

Need to be ported to new API and there are a couple of bugs that needs to be fixed.

Popup application is missing. I've no idea if I implement this in the old way, or there will be some signal in the XfcePanelPlugin object that allows communication over DBus.

Probably better to use HAL directly for the system actions, also going to add an execute action.

Stacking multiple panels on a screen edge (on top of each other) is quite difficult, so I was thinking about a wrapper option in the separator that puts plugins (after the wrapper) in a new line. Not really thought this through yet.

• Application to port the old settings in xfconf and desktop files for launchers.
• Maybe some way to add remote plugins, once proposed by Brian.
• Container plugin, to embed plugins in a plugin.
