+      <p>Xfce is a free software desktop environment for Unix and
+	Unix-like platforms, such as &os;.  It aims to be fast and
+	lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to
+	use.  The &os; Xfce Team has kept most of Xfce ports up-to-date,
+	while fixed many issues along the way in this quarter.</p>
+
+      <p>Currently, the following components with the following versions
+	are available:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Applications:</li>
+
+	<ul>
+	  <li>Orage (4.10.0)</li>
+	  <li>Midori (0.5.6)</li>
+	  <li>xfce4-terminal (0.6.3)</li>
+	  <li>xfce4-parole (0.5.3, 0.5.4)</li>
+	</ul>
+
+	<li>Panel plugins:</li>
+
+	<ul>
+	  <li>xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin (1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.3.0)</li>
+	  <li>xfce4-mailwatch-plugin (1.2.0)</li>
+	  <li>xfce4-wmdock-plugin (0.6.0)</li>
+	</ul>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>We helped Midori's upstream to switch from Waf (Python script)
+	to CMake.  Xfce now also supports Gtk2, Gtk3, and the new
+	WebKitGtk API, available from the 2.x branch, not present in our
+	ports tree at the moment, though.  Most of the ports now use
+	stage directories, only some plugins left to convert.</p>
+
+      <p>We also removed obsolete ports:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li><tt>x11-themes/lila-xfwm4</tt> (Xfwm4 theme)</li>
+	<li><tt>multimedia/xfce4-media</tt> (multimedia player)</li>
+	<li><tt>net-im/xfce4-messenger-plugin</tt></li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Besides, we followed the development of the Xfce core
+	components and Parole closely.  See the links for documentation
+	on how to upgrade those libraries.</p>

+
+      <task>Fix build of the Granite framework (it is an extension to
+	Gtk and Midori uses it) on &os; 10 and <tt>head</tt>.
