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. == Documentation == Many documentation updates and improvements all over the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. == Elua == Almost correct lua bindings generation (major lualian updates). Implemented proper Eo Lua bindings including method dispatch and property handling. Now generating eo.lua files at EFL compile time, just like eo.c and eo.h (no Elementary yet). And numerous other improvements in both the runtime and its supporting modules. == Eolian == Cleaned up Eolian library (database fill is now done at parse time for most part without copying/duplication). New Eolian library features * Builtin complex types * Implements section improvements * Type system improvements * Support for globals/constants * Expression evaluation * New constructor system * Numerous other enhancements == OpenGL changes == EFL 1.12 brings a lot of new features in its support of OpenGL application through the Evas GL API. In particular: * OpenGL-ES 1.1 contexts can now be created, this means that applications can now use the fixed pipeline GLES 1 APIs including most of 1.1 extensions. * EGL fence_sync, reusable_sync and wait_sync extensions support was added. * Direct rendering support has been improved by allowing alpha and canvas rotation. * New EGL-like functions: get current context, surface, error and query surface. Please bear in mind that the support for these new features may be platform- or driver-dependent. == Wayland== * Supported for IVI shell added * Updated XDG Shell support to version 4 * New evas GL DRM engine added ==Portability== * OSX: Eina spinlock support * OSX: NSRunLoop integration * Win: strptime() in evil library ==Coverity Issue Fixes== Many many coverity defects have been analyzed and fixed. Only 40 defects are left in EFL. == Statistics == === EFL === (git log --pretty=oneline v1.11.0..v1.12.0 | wc -l) Number of commits: 1144 (git shortlog -ns v1.11.0..v1.12.0 | wc -l) Number of authors: 63 (git diff --stat v1.11.0..v1.12.0) 716 files changed, 50118 insertions(+), 17796 deletions(-) (git shortlog -nse --grep CID v1.11.0..v1.12.0) 97 Carsten Haitzler <ras...@rasterman.com> 12 Stefan Schmidt <ste...@datenfreihafen.org> 9 Jean-Philippe ANDRÉ <j...@videolan.org> 3 Daniel Kolesa <d.kol...@samsung.com> 2 Christopher Michael <devilho...@comcast.net> === Elementary === (git log --pretty=oneline v1.11.0..v1.12.0 | wc -l) Number of commits: 226 (git shortlog -ns v1.11.0..v1.12.0 | wc -l) Number of authors: 41 (git diff --stat v1.11.0..v1.12.0) 357 files changed, 9475 insertions(+), 8146 deletions(-) (git shortlog -nse --grep CID v1.11.0..v1.12.0) Nothing ==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). EFL Elementary Emotion Generic Players Evas Generic Loaders 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. Evas generic loaders still need gstreamer 0.10) 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 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
