Not too short, but here it is:
xfdesktop
- ---------
* put the window icon's right-click menu on the correct screen
before showing it (bug 2351)
* fix solaris compilation (bug 2258)
* fix d-bus disconnect crash and memleak when reloading desktop
or switching between window icons and file icons more than
once (bug 2271)
* don't crash when non-file:// URIs are dropped on the desktop
(bug 2384)
* fix crash on some systems (such as solaris) when the user's
real name can't be determined (bug 2229)
* move saved file icon locations from ~/.cache to ~/.config
(bug 2402)
* use d-bus bindings directly for all interaction with d-bus to
avoid xfdesktop's UI freezing while waiting for responses. d-bus
is now required at compile time for file icons (bug 2344).
* update trash icon properly when the trash is emptied/filled
(bug 2788)
* when using xinerama, don't allow icons to be placed off-screen
if the screens are of different sizes, or on the 'seam' between
screens (bug 1538)
* fix compilation when thunarx is not available (bug 2420)
* fix warnings and crashes when F5 is held down and during other
operations (bug 2426, 2272, 2123, 2280)
* 'delete' action trashes files by default, falls back to a
confirmed delete if d-bus isn't working. shift+delete (for both
keyboard and mouse) will force delete (bug 2185)
* show warning about need to save the session when both disabling
and enabling xfdesktop (before it only warned the user when
disabling) (bug 1902)
* fix some icon drawing glitches (bug 2017)
* make use of Thunar's application chooser dialog (bug 1811)
* make just about all dialogs have a proper 'parent' window, so
focus should correctly return to the desktop after closing them
* fix volume icons not getting mounted correctly on activation
(bug 2206)
* fix normal file icons not activation on double click or open
(bug 2452)
* fix crash on xrandr screen size change (bug 2457)
* rework DnD code so during most drags we know if the source and
dest are compatible for a given action (move, copy, or link).
* change cursor to hourglass when making some d-bus calls (bug 2491)
* don't allow linking root items (such as '/') to the desktop or
folders on the desktop, as thunar-vfs crashes when you try to do
this (bug 2160)
* connect to ThunarVfsVolume::changed to more easily catch mount
point changes of removable volumes (bug 2489)
* most likely fix 100% CPU issue when ~/Desktop gets deleted while
xfdesktop is running (bug 2160)
* fix multiple DnD not working when the target was another desktop
icon (bug 2437)
* lots of code cleanup and simplification, fix a bunch of warnings
Whew. That was crazy. 26 bugs closed in 2 months; that might be a
personal best ^_~.
