Priority Bugs Status
After the 4.8 release a number of critical regressions were discovered as well as plugins and applications that stopped working with either the new panel or library bumps. So this does not only include core components, but also panel plugins and other applications that are part of the Xfce project.
Most of the time only the individual developer knows about those problems. So to give it some wider attention and distributions (and users for that matter) can keep track of the bug status, this page was born.
The content is maintained by Xfce developers and new bugs can only be added when they have been discussed on the mailing list or on #xfce-dev. It obviously also needs a bug in the Xfce bug tracker, because this page only reflects the status and who's working on it, not as a place to discuss the particular problem.
Planned Releases
