• Support action desktop files in EFM to add file actions
• Added org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver inhibit support
• Added support for logind's lock/unlock dbus apis
• Added and enabled watchdog thread by default to detect mainloop hangs
• Added API to play sound samples and support in notifications
• Add option to Randr X11 support to use xrandr cmdline not direct API
• Be agressive about forcing E's blank settings if apps override them
• Add params to mixer actions to allow to set amount up/down
• Added option for input settings for flat accel + hires scrolling
• Added option to set hidden state in netwm or not

1. EFL
2. libexif
3. libpam (Linux only)

Highly recommended to ensure proper functionality (though you can live without these):

1. connman (For network configuration support)
2. bluez5 (For bluetooth configuration and control)
3. bc (For the everything module calculator mode)
4. pulseaudio (For proper audio device control and redirection)
5. acpid (For systems with ACPI for lid events, AC/Battery plug in/out etc.)
6. packagekit (For the built in system updates monitoring and updater)
7. udisks2 (For removable storage mounting/unmounting)
8. ddcutil (specifically libddcutil.so.2 for backlight control)
9. gdb (If you want automatic backtraces on a crash in ~/.e-crashdump.txt - don't forget to build EFL and E with gdb debugging to make this useful)

Note: Enlightenment 0.26.0 depends on EFL v1.27.0 or newer.
