Enlightenment News

Due to various things, this is coming out a couple weeks later than expected. Who would have guessed that we would be behind schedule on a release?

I'd write out a full changelog here, but it would be far too massive.
Instead, here is a link to the current trunk NEWS file. The bugfix release contains most of the fixes listed here, so long as they did not require new features or libraries.

• E17.1 (bugfix release): [GZ] [BZ2]
• EDBUSv2 snapshot (required if using E18 snapshot with 1.7 branch): [GZ] [BZ2]
• E18 SNAPSHOT - 83478 [GZ] [BZ2]

More translation updates and small bug fixes for the echievement-seeking masses:

• Echievements v3 [GZ] [BZ2]

The Enlightenment Release Team is happy to announce the first series of updates to the EFL in 2013. Being an update to the stable tree, the 1.7.5 release is made mostly of bugfixes to our libraries. Please read the ChangeLog and NEWS files from each specific tarball in order to get more information about what has been fixed. This release corresponds with SVN revision 82180.

E17 has been in development for a long time, and there have been a lot of people involved over the years. At this time, the first and final official release of E17, I think it's important to name names and thank everyone who has been involved over the years.

• E17 OMEGA - 81287 [GZ] [BZ2]

In keeping with the tradition that I started last Friday, today has a bonus release which includes work from the international EFL superhero, Bruno Dilly! In addition to the internationalization skills of Igor Murzov and the translation abilities of Massimo Maiurana, we have put together a module that serves as nothing more than a very entertaining time-waster: I give you ECHIEVEMENTS v1!

• Echievements v1 [GZ] [BZ2]

Terminology is a terminal emulator that uses modern EFL components to build its UI and core. It is written from scratch and does not use any components outside of EFL and libc, so it should be very portable and easy to build. For more information, please see the Terminology Page.

Version 0.2 marks a stage of a lot of small cleanups, fixes and improvements, but definitely not a finished and fully baked terminal in all senses of the word. Not everything we want to achieve has been achieved yet. Please get the release below.
