What is Enlightenment?
Enlightenment. What is Enlightenment?. Since then, E has now become much more. In the process of building the next generation of the window manager, we have created a suite of libraries for doing data storage and retrieval, scene-graph rendering with a canvas, theme encapsulation, compiling and demand-loading, event loop, inter-process communication, freedesktop.org specification handling, virtual machines, video codec abstractions, widget sets, and more. This is in addition to the window manager and utilities and apps. There is even a prototype media center that uses the same libraries that E is being built on, as a demonstration of how powerful the back-end is. We also do not only target desktops, but also work on old systems and embedded environments, with our libraries made to be lean and fast, so even the most limited of systems can enjoy some eye-candy.

 Currently Enlightenment 0.17 (known as E17) is under development with a TODO list that is being worked on for release. The base libraries it depends on EFL (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries) are very mature and stable. There are other applications that use these too. E17 itself is primarily available via SVN. But despite this, the stable release of Enlightenment (the 0.16 series) is still alive and maintained. It is not dead and does undergo feature adds, fixes and improvements.
