I can see that the new xfce-4.2.1 is in the repository, but this is only 4.2.1 or 4.2.1.1??
Because the 4.2.1 have a bug and yesterday was released the 4.2.1.1 version:

Good question. I have my own too...
I guess I still have the '4.2.0-1' version:
local/xfce4-panel 4.2.0-1
Panel for the Xfce desktop environment
and yet `pacman -Syu` doesn't tell me I can upgrade. I must be overlooking something obvious.

Well, xfce4-panel is version 4.2.1.1.

Xfce 4.2.1.1 = Xfce 4.2.1 + xfce4-panel 4.2.1.1.

weird...
I type `pacman -Syu` and it doesn't show that I need an update for xfce4. However, when I `pacman -Sy xfce4` it does. I don't get it. I thought `pacman -Syu` always checked for current installed packages and notified you of updates.
I need to give the pacman man pages some lovin' it would seem...

When you faced this issue, you should have looked for Xfce entries in the directory /var/lib/pacman/extra.
If they are still at 4.2.0, it means pacman is using a mirror that is not yet in sync with the main Arch server.
Otherwise, it's most likely a bug. In such a case, fill a bug report, and attach to it a tarball of /var/lib/pacman and a copy of /etc/pacman.conf so that we can investigate the issue.
Anyway, now that 4.2.1 is installed, I would say it is too late to do that.

I have the same problem, because i use has principal server belnet (in spain this wroks very well). But i have change it with archlinux.de and now xfce-4.2.1 (and more) can be installed.
There is a script or anything to organize the servers like apt-setup in debian or mirrorselect?

If you want a closer and faster (for you) mirror: sortmirrors.pl
for usage see /usr/bin/sortmirrors.pl:
# If you have repositories listed in /etc/pacman.conf, run this:
#
# sortmirrors.pl </etc/pacman.conf >pacman.conf.new
# mv pacman.conf.new /etc/pacman.conf
#
# If you have repositories defined in /etc/pacman.d/, run this:
#
# for i in /etc/pacman.d/*; do
# sortmirrors.pl <$i >$i.new
# mv $i.new $i
# done

Ahhh...
The newest xfce4 just showed up with `pacman -Syu`. It's using 'ibiblio.org'. Maybe it just took a while to sync. Thanks for the info...
