Probably I have seen that in Ubuntu studio, About page.

Yeah, they probably compiled the source package... I think it looks for file vendorinfo in 'usr/share/xfce4/ - which doesn't exist in my Debian installs. But I've not fully investigated this - I'm pretty sure all the dependencies for xfce4-about are already installed.

I'll leave it to @Stevo to look into it properly.

Is it safe to try upgrading to 4.14 now while on MX18.3? Or would it be safer to simply try MX19 final beta?

EDIT: Installed just fine. Thanks

Did you install from my outside OBS repo? That's the only build that I'm sure will be compatible with MX 17/18.

I'm keeping it out of the test repo unless we get a load of requests for it there, because I still am wary of putting it there and then having some users enable the test repo and updating the whole shebang willy-nilly.

But in normal use, not a whole lot of differences for the user, so you won't have to relearn much, if anything. There are a few new items in the Settings Manager, such as XFCE Screensaver, but that's pretty easy.
