    Do not mix up the news update on the website with actual changes in the projects. Check xfce.org/projects and you'll see many updates from this November.

    The roadmap github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/Roadmap for LXQT hasn't updated since June '16, at the same time the current LXQT version 0.90 was released. So, LXQT isn't that much fresher than XFCE.

There hasn’t been a full release of Xfce for a while, but the project is still alive. The git repositories are very active, and a number of projects inside Xfce have had releases since Xfce 4.12: Thunar, the file manager, in October 2018, Ristretto, the picture viewer, in August 2018, etc.

  • Basically, the current development push is trying to get everything to work properly with GTK+ 3. I expect there'll be a full release (as opposed to the current piecemeal releases) once that happens.
