=== Enlightenment Foundation Libraries 1.20.1 Release ===
* //2017-08-04 - by Stefan Schmidt//
After eight months of development work we are proud to announce the
release of version 1.20 of the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. In
these eight months we got over 1600 commits from 64 authors. Great job
everyone! Some highlights are listed below.
**NOTE:** The initial 1.20 tarballs had a problem when building for
Wayland. The 1.20.1 tarballs contain the extra patch to have this
working again.

== What's New ==
We only cover some highlights here. For the full list please look at the
NEWS file,
if you are interested in the details. As usual we have been working on
fixing bugs,
optimising our code for speed and memory footprint and adding new features.
== Wayland, DRM and Input ==
Our Wayland implementation and the infrastructure around it like DRM and
input handling
have seen many updates and improvements again in this cycle.
Initial input tablet support, the ability for DRM to place native
surfaces on hardware planes,
dmabuf clients into hardware planes, atomic commit and atomic updates.
We also have more solid support for rotations and buffer transforms now
as well as having
a multiseat wayland compositor in an evas smart object.
== Ecore ==
The ecore input method framework was extended with a few APIs to allow
setting prediction hints, setting accepted mime types and getting the
keyboard mode.
== Eina ==
A new eina debug layer is aimed to bring a way to debug EFL applications by
providing a transport channel between a debug tool and the applications
of a device.
== Elementary ==
Elementary has seen a huge focus rework and addition of a focus manager.

==Building and Dependencies==
If you have an existing EFL or Elementary install, you may wish to
delete its header files and libraries before compiling and installing to
avoid possible conflicts during compilation. Please refer to the README
for a full list of dependencies, explanations on configure flags and
other relevant information. Default dependencies are:
* bullet
* libpng
* libjpeg
* gstreamer (1.x, 0.10 support optional. Ensure all codecs you want
are installed.)
* zlib
* luajit (lua 5.1 or 5.2 support optional)
* libtiff
* openssl
* curl
* dbus
* libc
* fontconfig
* freetype2
* fribidi
* libpulse
* libsndfile
* libx11
* libxau
* libxcomposite
* libxdamage
* libxdmcp
* libxext
* libxfixes
* libxinerama
* libxrandr
* libxrender
* libxss
* libxtst
* libxcursor
* libxp
* libxi (2.2 or newer)
* libgl (opengl/glx or opengl-es2/egl)
* giflib
* util-linux (limbount + libblkid)
* systemd / libudev
* poppler / poppler-cpp
* libraw
* libspectre
* librsvg
Recommended requirements (highly recommended):
* harfbuzz
* libwebp
* libunwind (where available)
Enable these with configure options:
--enable-xinput22 \
--enable-systemd \
--enable-image-loader-webp \
--enable-harfbuzz \
--enable-multisense \
--enable-liblz4
On linux to get framebuffer support you may want to also do:
--enable-fb
--disable-tslib
If you want wayland support also add:
--enable-wayland \
--enable-elput \
--enable-drm
At runtime if you want thumbnailing for DOC/PPT/XLS etc. files also provide:
