| - | |||
| - | As discussed on the xfce4-dev mailing list; Xfce 4.10 will depend on Gtk+ 2.20 and won't be ported to Gtk+ 3.0 until after the 4.10 release. Reason for this is that both Gtk+ 3.0 is not fully stable when 4.10 entered the development stage and because in 4.8 the porting to GIO/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | This means it is not required to support compilation with GSEAL; simply because the public functions are not complete in Gtk+ 2.20 and not required to make Xfce work with newer Gtk+ 2 versions. | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Features that Affect the Entire Xfce Core === | ||
| - | |||
| - | == Screenreader Support == | ||
| - | |||
| - | We really want to improve [[http:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Modules === | ||
| - | |||
| - | Please don't take the features listed on these pages as obligatory. Keep in mind that they may or may not make it into the 4.10 release, depending on the time the individual developers have. | ||
