The goal of linelight is to have a frontend for the locate search which is similar to Mac’s Spotlight. This is the first release of xfce4-linelight-plugin hence it is far from perfect but overall it is usable and I hope some might find it a handy plugin.

In this release, the panel plugin has been cleaned, it can now take a screenshot of the whole desktop or of the active window, with a delay that the user can set. This release also contains an executable that allows to take screenshots from the command line, which makes possible to bind the PrtScreen key to the screenshooter.

I would like to thank Gauvain Pocentek, Stephan Arts, Mike Massonnet, Mario Danic, Og Maciel and Moritz Heiber for their advises and translations.

Please report bugs and wishlists to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/

This is mainly a bugfix release. A minor new feature is that the alarm list is saved permanently, that is, the settings are kept when the plugin is unloaded from the panel. You can get the file here.

The WMdock plugin is a compatibility layer for running WindowMaker dockapps on the XFCE desktop. It integrates the dockapps into a panel, closely resembling the look and feel of the WindowMaker dock or clip, respectively.

Get xfce4-wmdock-plugin.

Please report bugs and unexpected crashes.

As part of the current goodies release flow, I’m glad to announce another bugfix release of Verve.

The following bugs were fixed:

• check NULL pointers before unref’ing them (bug #2125)
• remove several warnings (unused variables, dirty code) (bug #2175)
• properly modify the foreground color while blinking (patch by Mike

Massonnet)

• protect the command completion more carefully (fixes several issues

when the completion is not loaded yet)

Some new features also made it into the release:

• unhide the panel when verve grabs the focus
• the number of command history items can now be configured

A big thanks goes out to all the translators - keep it up!

Visit the Verve plugin website for details about this release.

Hi. I just released a new version of the xfce4-dict-plugin. Besides minor improvements, in 0.2.1 the GUI won’t freeze anymore when querying a slow dictionary server. And now you can search dict.leo.org, too.

Hi everybody. Just wanna that i’ve released a new version of the xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin. The most visible change is the fact that this released takes now the backgound color from your gtk theme when displaying the launchers, so that it fits better whith it. Other changes are mainly bugfixes, espescially with netbsd and gcc 2.95 and lots of new translations.

On Tue, 26 Sep 2006 Álvaro Lopes commit his forst version of the cellmodem plug-in into our SVN repository. It has still some issues (No full support to change orientation, Ask for PIN” callback is being called twice when the applet is launched, ...), but he hope it will be useful for others “as it is for me” he said on the mailing list. It also includes a “testing driver” which simulates a real cellular modem.

Here is a new plugin for the Xfce4 panel: xfce4-dict-plugin. It is a simple client program for any DICT servers. It can search for a word on a given Dict server and shows the results in a window. You can also select some text and drag in to the icon in the panel and the plugin will start to search. If you want to know more, take a look here

The tarball is available at: http://files.uvena.de/xfce4-dict-plugin/xfce4-dict-plugin-0.1.0.tar.bz2

Please consider that this plugin has an alpha state, so don’t complain (but please report) about bugs and unexpected crashes.

We’re glad to announce the 0.4.90.2 release of the battery plugin. Nick Schermer applied several patches (which fixed - amongst others - bugs #1261 and #1475). He also implemented several minor improvements (such as using the new headed dialog). Be sure to grab the tarball from our download directory.

A new version of the xfce4-smartbookmark-plugin has been released. It’s version 0.4.2 and features the option to hide the label. A dialog header was added to the properties and new translations (Hungarian and traditional Chinese) are now available.

We’re glad to announce this new release of the xfce4-xmms-plugin. The most significant change is that the plugin is finally available for the Xfce 4.4 panel. In addition, several translations were added (Japanese, German, French).

Ok, this is just a fast bugfix release to make the verve-focus script working again. Be sure to get your copy of the tarball from the project page

I’m glad to announce the Verve release version 0.3.3. It includes several bugfixes and a C replacement for the previous verve-focus Python script (which should please everyone as there is no Python dependency anymore).

A list of changes is available in the ChangeLog.

Version 0.1.1 of the Thunar Media Tags Plugin has just been released to the public. It’s mainly a bugfix release (one major bug with non file:-URIs resolved). I can’t really tell you when I released the first version of this Thunar plugin, but the most important updates happened to the translations. The following language codes are now supported, thanks to the help of our translators: ca de el eu fr hu ja pl ru zh_TW

• $PATH contents are loaded asynchronously now (faster startup)
• verve-focus was missing in 0.3.1 - it’s now shipped with Verve again
• Italian translations were added
• The new titled Xfce dialog is used now

In addition, I finally managed to create some screenshots of Verve in action. I also wrote down some usage information. You can take a look at them on Verve.

Yes, this thunar plugin was updated to a new version, wich seems to have lots of new stuff. Here what his author say about that: “This is a major release, which introduces a generic scripting interface for archivers, so the plugin can now be used with basicly every archive manager that supports the required command line parameters. Support for File Roller (the GNOME archive manager) and Ark (the KDE archive manager) is builtin. Xarchiver will include support for the archive plugin in the next release. It depends on Thunar 0.2.2 or above.”

Hi everybody. I just wanna say that currently, xfce mainteners are moving all the goodies stuff from the Berlios servers to the xfce ones. This means that the files, but also the svn repository are being moved. Also, this web site will moved to a new doku wiki powered one, located at http://goodies.xfce.org. We hope it will offer us some easiness in maintening the site, so that it will stay up to date and give more information for everyone.
