What’s New?
General
- Exo once again uses the same thumbnail directories as other applications (Xfce #14799), resulting in reduced disk usage.

Bug Fixes
- ExoCellRendererIcon: Fix highlight rendering with GTK 3 (Xfce #14971)
- ExoIconView: Fix search popup placement (Xfce #14994)
- Additionally, a long-standing bug where the type-ahead search widget would be drawn partially off the screen for maximized windows, has been fixed!
