We only cover some highlights here. For the full list please look at the NEWS files 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 == New APIs for keymap cache and left-handed mouse have been added in ecore_wayland while a new wayland module helped to fix some bugs with window sizing problems we have seen. == Evas == The biggest changes in Evas have been adding support for hyphenation wrap style and the addition of a TBM (Tizen Buffer Management) surface in the Evas engine. == Eina == Many of the changes in Eina during this release are towards better support of vector graphics coming in form of our Ector library. They include eina_bezier, eina_vector, eina_matrix and eina_quaternion updates. Additonally we added APIs for base64 encode and decode functionality. == Edje == New support for size_class as well as text_class syntax have been added and we can now embed TGV files directly into an edje file. == Bindings == JavaScript Eolian binding have been added as a first step towards JavaScript bindings for the EFL. == Elementary == Elementary features a new combobox widget in this release and the wayland support was ported to use the new ecore_wayland2 APIs from the EFL. Smaller changes include the use of new text and size classes in various widgets and the ability to save to another hidden profile. The ATSPI support gained support for key modifers in bridge. == Portability (Win32, MacOSX)== This release we added clipboard and X11 shaped cursors support for Win32 as well as system cursor support for Cocoa. More Cocoa support is pending for the next release. ---- = Statistics = == EFL == (git log --pretty=oneline v1.16.0..v1.17.0 | wc -l) Number of commits: 1026 (git shortlog -ns v1.16.0..v1.17.0 | wc -l) Number of authors: 74 (git diff --stat v1.16.0..v1.17.0 | tail -1) 930 files changed, 112975 insertions(+), 64377 deletions(-) == Elementary == (git log --pretty=oneline v1.16.0..v1.17.0 | wc -l) Number of commits: 265 (git shortlog -ns v1.16.0..v1.17.0 | wc -l) Number of authors: 50 (git diff --stat v1.16.0..v1.17.0 | tail -1) 255 files changed, 11188 insertions(+), 2589 deletions(-) ---- =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. If you are compiling the above, please compile them in the following order: efl elementary emotion_generic_players evas_generic_loaders Please refer to the respective README files in each release for a full list of dependencies, explanations on configure flags and other relevant information (Just scroll down to see the README already displayed nicely). Recommended dependencies are for all of the above are: bullet libpng libjpeg gstreamer (1.x) (ensure you have all the gstreamer codecs you need/want.) zlib luajit (optional lua 5.1 or 5.2) 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 harfbuzz systemd libwebp vlc (libvlc) poppler libraw libspectre librsvg It is suggested you add the following options when building the EFL to get a better experience: --enable-xinput22 \ --enable-multisense \ --enable-systemd \ --enable-image-loader-webp \ --enable-harfbuzz 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 At runtime if you want thumbnailing for DOC/PPT/XLS etc. files also provide: libreoffice ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
