If you are not much involved into Xfce yet and interested in software development, now might be a good opportunity to contribute to Xfce while even getting payed for it !

In case you are already involved in Xfce development, you might be interested to mentor a GSoC contributor and add some project idea to the ideas-list for which you can do mentoring.

xfdashboard 0.9.90 released

xfdashboard-0.9.90 "Before it is too late" was released on 2022-03-04.

This is a release candidate for upcoming stable version 1.0.0.

  • New feature: Added a new property "visibility", which is stylable, to XfdashboardActor, so each actor inherits this new stylable property. This stylable property controls if an actor should be visible if requested to using clutter_actor_show(). Setting "visibility" to false is similar to "display: none;" for CSS of HTML while setting it to true will allow the actor to be shown.
  • Fixed compiler warning about "'_atomic_load' discards 'volatile' qualifier" in g_once* functions of Glib which was changed in releases since 2.66.3
  • Prepared for newer libxfce4util (version 4.17.2 or higher) which changed function xfce_append_quoted to xfce_g_string_append_quoted
  • Updated translations: be, bg, ca, da, de, el, es, et, eu, fr, gl, he, id, it, ja, ko, lt, nb, nl, pl, pt, pt_BR, ru, sl, sq, sr, sv, tr, zh_CN
