+After eight months of development work we are proud to announce the release of
+version 1.24 of the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. In these eight months
we got almost 1900 commits from 54 authors. Great job everyone!

+----
+
+== What's New ==
+
+We only cover some of the bigger changes 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.
+
+== EO memory optimization ==
+EO is our object abstraction. The object abstraction stores the implemented
functions in something called [[
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_method_table | vtable ]]. These vtables
are one of the most memory intensive parts of efl. Before this release, every
object was capable of storing every function which was defined until the point
of the declaration of the class. This was a little bit wasteful. With the new
approach, the vtables only contain a little bit more than required to [...]
+Details can be found [[
https://sourceforge.net/p/enlightenment/mailman/message/36926746/ | here ]].
+
+== Copy and Paste rework ==
+The old implementation has been located in elementary. For the new
implementation all this has been split up into 3 different layers, eina,
ecore-evas, and elementary.
+In eina we now have a container that abstracts a slice of bytes with a
mimetype, these containers can be transformed to different types (as long as
there is a conversion method).
+Since Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop is mostly about display protocol we have a
huge amount of platform depending protocol code, this code is placed in the
ecore evas modules of the corresponding platform.
+In elementary we have the code around to glue the ecore evas abstraction to
elm code. As an example for what this code does: When ecore-evas notifies you
that the selection of something has changed, this event needs to be translated
to the widget that have registered a event for it. Also, when there is a mouse
over while doing a dragging operation, these move events have to be delivered
to the widgets that have asked for them.
+
+== Ecore_Wl2 work ==
+In this release, the Ecore_Wl2 library has gone through an extensive
stabilization phase. The API has been fully documented, and test cases have
been provided to verify functionality. In addition, some API functions have
been removed while others have been added. A brief summary of the API additions
is listed below:
+
+ * Added function to find a window by a given surface
+ * Added function to find the connected display by name
+ * Added function to get the compositor object from a given display
+ * Added functions to get various window properties such as Aspect, Title,
Class, Role, Type, Opaque region, Input region
+ * Added function to get the default input of a given display
+ * Added function to set the keyboard repeat rate
+ * Added function to set the mouse cursor based on cursor name
+
+Although this release has seen many changes to the Ecore_Wl2 library, it
should be noted that it is still considered to be in Beta and is subject to
change in future releases.
+
+== Documentation work ==
+
+As usual, continuous improvement of the current documentation and addition of
a few missing bits.
+
+== Removals ==
+In this release cycle we finally cleaned out some corners of our libraries
which have been in need for it.
+We de-duplicated some media backend support and removed beta libraries which
never came beyond this stage and libraries which are depending on deprecated or
now unsupported components.
+
+ * emotion & evas: remove gstreamer 0.10 support (gstreamer 1.x support is
stable)
+ * escape: remove library from tree (no known reamaining user of EFL on PS3
OS)
+ * ecore_x: remove support XGesture extension (deprecated, distros do no
longer ship it)
+ * elocation: remove beta library (never out of beta)
+ * eeze: remove tizen module support from eeze sensor (unused, sensor API
stays)
+ * evas3d: remove support for evas 3D which was a beta all along (never out
of beta)
+ * Xine and vlc supportin emotion (gstreamer 1.x support is stable)
+
+== Known ABI break ==
+During the ongoing APi documentation effort a symbol was found which made us
all scratch our head for a while.
+eina_prime_table was an external public symbol which contained a *few* prime
numbers, not the first few though and only 21 in total.
+We had no internal use of it and a very hard time to come up with any valid
use case at all.
+If you are hit by this break as your application uses this symbol come and
talk to us. We are willing to revert if there could really be a use case of
this table.
