So, not much major is new. The Xfce version is still 4.12.

However, a few minor things:

* xfce4-terminal has been ported to gtk3 and vte291. Lots of bugfixes,
support for unlimited scrollback buffer, support for magnet links,
zooming, and tons of translation updates.

* xfce4-power-manager has been updated with a bunch of bugfixes and
translation updates.

* xfce4-notifyd has been ported to gtk3 and has better theming
capabilities.

* The Xfce live now contains firefox

Thats all I can think of off hand. :)
