• Components ported to GTK+ 3 (100%)
• Replace dbus-glib with GDbus (100%)
• Thunarx API clean-up (100%):
• GObject Introspection for Thunarx (100%)
• Port TPA (Trash Panel Applet) to GDBus (100%)
• Fix deprecations (100%, summary)

• Thunar 1.6.x (the last gtk2 version) should be maintained in the xfce-4.12 branch.
• Thunar 1.7.0 should be released as a development release
• Track pending issues on bugzilla with the following target milestones:
  • 1.6.13: Existing bugs, no new features.
    • Fixes should be applied to master and xfce-4.12 branches.
  • 1.7.0: Port related bugs and regressions, no new features.
  • 1.8.0: New features.
• Once things are stable enough, Thunar 1.8.0 will be released

• Find a better solution for icon themes without 'inode-directory' icon (e.g. Adwaita) and remove hack (Original discussion, Hack Commit)
• Icon view label missing ellipsis or not wrapping (Bug 13973)
• Scrollbars shouldn't start faded (Original Discussion, Fix)
• Killing thunar as well kills all processes started via .desktop files (bug 14277)
• Check interop of instances running with –daemon and –gapplication-service (Original Discussion)
• Context menu misplaced (Bug 14216)
• When Thunar fails to start because a gtk2 instance is running, display a dialog: “Failed to start: an incompatible version of Thunar is already running” (Original Discussion),
• Unable to run as root (Bug 13884)
• Segfault when pressing “folder up” on pathbar if the parent folder is not yet a visible element of the bar (Bug 13987)
• After this commit, the pathbar right slider is hidden when a long path is reached and its right border is not visible.
• Whenever a folder is open, the pathbar expands and shrinks quickly. Only happens while using Arc, theme issue.
• When using Adwaita or Greybird, there's ugly 1px spacing between buttons
• Device mounting spinner and eject button take too much space (Original discussion, Upstream bug)
• Pathbar is not visible when Thunar window is small (Original Discussion)
• Proper investigation of the delay on logout (Bug 13726)
• With xfconf 4.13, when resizing Detailed List columns, lots of warnings are printed and eventually Thunar crashes. (Xfconf bug)
