+ <p>Xfce is a free software desktop environment for Unix and
+ Unix-like platforms including FreeBSD. It aims to be fast and
+ lightweight while still being visually appealing and easy to
+ use.</p>
+
+ <p>There were no major updates in the ports tree except cosmetic
+ changes (fix pkg-plist, switch to USES= libtool, and so
+ on).</p>
+
+ <p>Still, the Xfce team continues to keep each piece of the Xfce
+ Desktop up to date. That is why we are working on the next
+ stable release (no date scheduled).</p>

+ <p>Major changes will be:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Switch to USES</li>
+
+ <li>Support of GTK2 (default toolkits) and GTK3
+ (optional)</li>

+ <li>GNOME like default icons theme</li>
+
+ <li>Enhance documentation (handbooks, FAQ)</li>
+ </ul>
