== Development under CDE project ==
In March 2014, the first stable release of CDE, version 2.2.1, was made since its release as free software.<ref>{{cite mailing list |last=Trulson |first=Jon |title=CDE 2.2.1 released |publisher=cdesktopenv-devel |date=March 1, 2014 |url=http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/mailman/message/32043063/ |access-date=March 5, 2014 |archive-date=March 5, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140305093049/http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/mailman/message/32043063/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Beginning with version 2.2.2, released in July 2014, CDE is able to compile under FreeBSD 10 with the default [[Clang]] [[compiler]].<ref>{{cite mailing list |last=Trulson |first=Jon |title=CDE 2.2.2 released |publisher=cdesktopenv-devel |date=July 27, 2014 |url=http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/mailman/message/32654428/ |access-date=July 27, 2014 |archive-date=August 1, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140801032559/http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/mailman/message/32654428/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Since version 2.3.0, released in July 2018, CDE uses TIRPC on Linux, so that the portmapper rpcbind does not need to be run in insecure mode. It does not use Xprint anymore, and can be compiled on the BSDs without installing first a custom version of Motif. Multihead display support with [[Xinerama]] has been improved.

Since its release as free software, CDE has been ported to:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Home/|title=Common Desktop Environment: Wiki|access-date=January 6, 2015|archive-date=December 16, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141216095839/http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/Home/|url-status=live}}</ref>
