In an incredibly bold and unforeseen turn of events, The E19 Release Cycle
has skipped the beta series of releases and jumped straight from alphas to
release candidates. This extreme display of showboating has release
managers all over the world shaking their heads, but none of the referees
appear willing to hand out cards on this play.
Notable changes since the last release include:
* Numerous translation updates and fixes
* Wayland compositor rewritten/overhauled by Chris "devilhorns" Michael,
who was last seen on the sidelines muttering vague, threatening statements
concerning pointers and drag-n-drop operations
** Reduced memory footprint
** Reduced rendering complexity
** Reduced code size
** Supports running Wayland Clients inside X11 session
** Supports wl_shell and xdg_shell protocols
--- xdg_shell requires wayland 1.6 (pending release)
** Preliminary support for running Enlightenment Wayland standalone
-- No X11 required t run wayland clients
-- Does not Yet handle X11 applications (xwayland support pending, stop
looking at my branches)
-- Still considered unstable (ymmv, it may crash, delete `C:\System32`, etc)
* Tiling usability improvements from TAsn
* Teamwork bug fixes
* Greatly improved systray handling when using fullscreen windows
* Pager16 module promoted to Pager
* Quickaccess module now more reliable across restarts
* Ibar menu now fails less frequently
* Even more translation updates and fixes
* Various crashes no longer crash as hard thanks to huchi
As always, stay tuned to the latest infrequent E updates on the release
blog (http://e.zmike.ninja).
