Well this is late ... many apologies to all.

Another global rebuild is due sometime in the next few hours (currently 
21:54UTC)

The rebuild is due to some "global" issues surfacing. At the same time 
it did give us an opportunity to land a couple of really late Thunar 
patches, which help towards the copy/refresh issue that has been showing up.

What we need now isforpeople who can try for that last minute push – and 
test any ISO that does turn up. New ISOs will be numbered (AT LEAST) 
20160420.

Here's the fewspecific things that should be fixed on the new ISOs:

If time is an issue PLEASE choose option 3 ;)

Any smoketesting required shortly prior to release will be undertaken by 
Xubuntu QA - as is normal.

1) "Install Xubuntu" should now always proceed with installing  
(smoketesting the installer is enough)
This respin should fix the Try/Install fail (eg. choose Install and get 
the live desktop - also affected choices from the first 
(debian-installer)menu)

2)Swap creation fail issue is fixed from all affected installation methods

3)Less Thunar issues should appear  (live boot or a fresh install from a 
new ISO)
XUBUNTU-SPECIFIC ISSUE. Check renaming and moving files with Thunar – 
crashes should be either happen less often or be gone. See the bug list 
below to see bugs that this patch is supposed to fix.
