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, optimizing our code for speed and memory footprint and adding new features. Below we describe just some highlights and by no means provide a full list. == AT-SPI based accessibility features == New accessibility features based on AT-SPI2 interfaces enabling Elementary support for AT-SPI clients (e.g. Orca Screen Reader). AT-SPI support currently includes: * registering an application, * building an application's widget tree, * implementations for the Accessible and Component AT-SPI interfaces. For AT-SPI2 specification see http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/accessibility/atk/at-spi/at-spi_on_d-bus == Evas Filters == The Evas filters are a combination of filters used to apply specific effects to an Evas Object. For the moment, these effects are specific to the Text Objects. The filters can be applied to an object using a simple script language specifically designed for these effects. Commands of these script language include blend, blur, grow, displace, transform and more. == Emotion Port to GStreamer 1.0 == A long due port from the GStreamer 0.10 API to 1.0 has happened in our emotion library. This port implements some missing features, clean up code a bit and fix some bugs on the way. Some highlighted changes: * Use GstVideoInfo to store the format details inside the sink * Add support for pixel-aspect-ratio * Store video format information in GstVideoInfo for the different * video streams * Use GstAudioInfo to store the audio format information * Implement initial support for GstNavigation interface * Implement setting of audio/video channel == Evas text improvements == A lot development time was spent on optimizing the evas text handling. Speed as well as memory improvements combined with many bug fixes to make the code more correct and handle corner cases. We also added support for 4bit and rel 4 bit compressed font glyphs as well as the long awaited font fallback for eet/edje and non-fontconfig queried fonts, fixing international text in Terminology. == Support for XPresent extension == Ecore_x gained support for the XPresent extension of X.org. The upcoming Enlightenment 0.19 release will make first use of this. == Edje Edit Enhancements == Another area with a lot of ongoing work was edje edit. From API additions over bug fixes and general improvements a lot was done here. Edje edit can be seen as some foundation work for graphical edc/edj editors. It is needed to access and change the theme files. We hope to build upon that to provide better tooling for efl development later. == Statistics == During this release cycle efl received 783 commits with 598 files changed, 8 line insertions and 11352 line deletions. During this release cycle elementary received 576 commits with 637 files changed 29482 line insertions and 13469 line deletions. ==Changed Dependencies == * Emotion in efl now needs GStreamer
