EFL 1.22.0 alpha 1

  • 2019-03-04 - by Stefan Schmidt

This alpha release for 1.22 starts the freeze period and stabilization phase for the 1.22 release cycle. There are still problems to fix and we appreciate any tester of this to let us know about problems seen. This goes for packaging, testing with efl based applications, integration into your systems, etc.

For packagers we have one bonus item to test. 1.22 will be the last release using our autotools build system. From 1.23 onwards we will use meson, which is already in place and working well for developers. To ensure early on testing for packagers as well we produced a tarball with meson for this alpha release as well. Find it here (sha256 sum). The official tarball for 1.22 will still be produced with autotools and the link can be found below.
